Health Care

Your health and well-being are important. The university offers employees comprehensive medical and dental care coverage, with a significant portion of plan costs paid by the university. Enrollment in these coverages is typically effective from the date of hire. Employee premiums are deducted before taxes, which results in tax savings. Coverage is available at four membership levels: employee, employee with child(ren), employee with spouse, and family.

Medical Care
A variety of medical care plans (PPO, HMO, and POS plans) are available, depending on your place of residence. All of these plans provide comprehensive coverages for services and medical needs, such as:

• Inpatient and outpatient treatments
• Primary care and specialist physicians
• Organ and tissue transplants
• Prescription drugs
• Mental health treatments
• Emergency room and urgent care
• Wellness, including eye exams

Dental Care
You can enroll in the IU Dental Plan regardless of whether you enroll in a medical plan.

Employee Assistance Program
The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) helps IU employees and members of their households deal with personal issues that may interfere with their day-to-day well being. Counseling is available 365 days a year in areas ranging from stress and workplace conflict to relationship problems, alcohol or drug concerns, and loss of a loved one. The service is confidential and 100 percent paid by IU.
