Plans to be Offered in the 2012/2013 Plan Year

Trustmark
Trustmark will continue to offer six (6) flexible plan options for schools to offer to faculty/staff.  There are four PPO’s and two of the more popular HSA’s.  Schools can offer both a PPO and an HSA to staff.  Most schools, on their own, would not be able to offer two plans to faculty/staff.

The primary changes to the plans are the lowering of out-of-pocket maximums for the PPO 80 $1,000;  PPO 80 $750 and the two HSA plans effective September 1, 2012.  Please see the Appendix for details.

For all PPO 80 and PPO 90 plans:  the Urgent Care Center co-pay will increase from $35 to $50 effective September 1.

Priority Health
The Trustees have worked with Priority Health to make the options available through the CSI Insurance Plan even more flexible. The menu of plans will change effective September 1, 2012, so that schools can select the plan(s) that best meets the needs of employees while also meeting the school’s budget requirements.

  • Health By Choice Achievements (HBCA) 1 and 2, HMO 80 Low and HMO 100 High will be eliminated.

  • Two new plans will be added:  Health By Choice Progressions (HBCP) and HMO Value Plan 80.  These plans reduce what the member and the school will pay for healthcare.  The HBCP plan is designed to motivate members toward some level of improvement of their health.  Levels of improvement will be established by the member and their doctor/provider on an individual basis. 

    Please see the attached Appendix  for a general overview of coverages for these new plans.

    In addition, a separate Update is being prepared to explain the two new plans in detail.
