New to plan year May 1, 2012 - Viterbo
University will pilot a local express care program with the intent to reduce
office visit costs for the health care plan. Express
care services provide for quick and affordable service for common conditions
such as sore throats, sinus pain, bladder infections, ear infections, pink eye,
etc., as well as some on-site lab testing and a written prescription, if
needed. The express care visit
presently costs $45-50. For this plan
year, the cost of each visit to an express care facility will be billed to our
health insurance plan, and you will be responsible for a $25 copayment for each
visit. The $25 copayment is not applied
to plan deductibles or coinsurance.
