University of Rochester 2016 Open Enrollment Begins
October 29th, 2015 | ArchiveOpen enrollment for University of Rochester employees for the 2016 plan year will begin on November 2nd and will run through November 15th. Just as last year, the 2016 health plans include financial incentives like lower copays and deductibles that will encourage UR employees to utilize AHP providers. Specific changes to benefits are few, but providers can find a summary of changes in the revised UR Employee Benefit Plan: Provider Resource Guide located here.
Please help your patients covered by the UR health plan get the most out of their benefits by:
#1: Ensuring your information on ahpnetwork.com is current and correct
The provider directory on ahpnetwork.com is the number one resource for UR employees to find AHP providers. Referring providers will also be using the directory to help their patients see AHP specialists and benefit from the plan’s lower co-pay or coinsurance incentives. Click here to look your practice up on the web directory and email Renée Sutton at [email protected] with any corrections.
#2 Preparing your front-end team for UR employee/patient questions
University employees will be calling to confirm that your office is participating with AHP. Make sure that the members of your team that are likely to receive those inquiries know about AHP and its role as the tier one network associated with the University’s employee benefit plan.
#3: Ensuring that patients covered by the plan are sent to AHP specialist, lab and imaging providers.
Some AHP providers use “ticklers” in their EMRs, others hang signs at the front desk or in the restrooms. Whatever the process, efforts to keep patient care within system benefits patients by creating true clinical integration within our network.
