Partnership Promise for 2012 (09/19/2011)
The University of Tennessee Participates in the State of Tennessee Group Insurance Plan. Last year, the State introduced the Partnership PPO. The incentives for participating in the Partnership PPO are lower monthly premiums, a lower annual deductible, lower pharmacy co-pays and co-insurance for all types of care, and a lower out of pocket maximum.
Employees who enroll in the Partnership PPO must agree to the terms of the Partnership Promise each year. Both the employee and covered spouse must meet the 2012 Partnership Promise requirements to remain eligible for the Partnership PPO in 2013. These requirements are as follows:
- Participate in health coaching if an opportunity to improve your health is identified by the Partners for Health wellness staff during 2012
- Keep address and phone number current with the University of Tennessee.
Group Insurance Annual Enrollment 2012 (09/19/2011)
Employees of the University participate in the State of Tennessee Group Insurance Plan. The annual enrollment period for 2012 insurance coverage runs from October 1 to November 1, 2011. The enrollment period allows you the opportunity to make changes to your insurance benefits, including switching PPO options. During this time, you may also enroll in health insurance for 2012 for your self or your eligible dependents if you did not join when you were initially eligible (a monthly late applicant fee will apply.
If you do not want to make changes, no action is required to remain enrolled in your current coverage. If you enrolled in the Partnership PPO for 2011 and you or your spouse did not meet the requirements of the Partnership Promise, you are not eligible to continue in this option during 2012. You will still have coverage under the Standard PPO.
