Employee Benefits and Forms

UnitedHealthcare (UHC) is the healthcare provider for Anderson Community Schools (ACS). There are several plans offered to eligible employees (outlined below). When considering a plan it is important to ask these three questions:

 

1.) Is your provider in the network?

A network is a group of providers and facilities who've been contracted to deliver health care services, often at a discount. Getting care from within the network may help you save money. If there's a provider you see regularly and want to keep seeing, it's a good idea to first make sure they're in the plan's network. A searchable directory of providers can be found here.

 

2.) What are your health needs?

Thinking about the care you and your family may need in the plan year ahead can help you decide the level of coverage you may need. For example, you may want a plan that offers more coverage if you have major health care needs or see doctors or specialists often. If you see the doctor occasionally for things like an annual checkup or minor illnesses, a health plan that offers less coverage may work well for you.

 

3.) How do you like to manage your costs?

Some people manage costs by keeping their monthly premium payments low. Others prefer paying higher monthly premiums because it tends to lower other costs, like copays or deductibles. Another good idea is to compare health plan deductible, coinsurance and out-of-pocket limit amounts. Knowing the differences can help you keep your costs in check - and know what to expect, too.
