UT CONNECT Benefits for Members
As a UT System employee or non-Medicare-eligible retiree, you have choices for your medical benefits, including UT CONNECT, which combines quality, value and medical expertise.
The UT CONNECT medical plan is designed for you and your busy family. It’s a convenient, cost-effective option that offers quality care, when and where you need it.
Our medical plan for 2020 includes one new enhancement – additional Texas Health Resources urgent care locations at a reduced co-pay. The new facility locations will be announced in November, 2020.
The UT CONNECT plan is easy to access, and includes personalized service through our CONNECT team. Just call one number to reach a team member who can help you find a doctor, coordinate referrals to see specialists, or answer questions about your medical coverage.
The CONNECT team also includes nurses, who are available to address health concerns and call on UT Southwestern Medical directors when needed. Members also have access to MDLive – available 24/7 with the assurance of reaching a physician online or speaking directly to a nurse.
We know saving money is important, too. With UT CONNECT, you save on co-pays when visiting PCPs, specialists and urgent care, as well as on your annual deductible.
If you pay premiums for dependent coverage, you can save about $300 to $600 a year. That’s money that stays in your paycheck.
Don’t forget about the network of more than 10,000 doctors in North Texas, along with top-ranked hospitals, including UT Southwestern Medical Center and Texas Health Resources.
Having access to quality care, when and where you need it, has never been easier.
As you enroll for benefits this year, consider UT CONNECT — a choice that reduces your out-of-pocket costs, while providing access to the quality medical care you expect.
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas is pleased to administer health coverage for UT CONNECT, which includes the Southwestern Health Resources Network and affiliated providers.
