The Colorado Mesa UniversityHealth Insurance Plans are designed to provide each employee a choice in the level of medical insurance coverage they feel they need for themselves and their family.  Our Medical Plans provide a variety of comprehensive coverage, however an individual may still have out of pocket expenses depending on the coverage selected and the medical situations which may arise.

For this reason, Colorado Mesa University provides several supplemental insurance coverage through Colonial Supplemental Insurance.  These coverage include Accident Insurance and Cancer Insurance.

Accident Insurance is designed to help see you through the different stages of care due to an Accidental Injury such as a broken bone, separated joint or a catastrophic accident. Benefits are designed to help cover the cost of out of pocket expenses such as deductibles, office visit co-pays and transportation and lodging cost.  The plan provides benefits for initial care and treatment, in addition to follow-up care you may need.

Cancer Insurance offers the protection you need to concentrate on what is most important - your care.  Features of Colonial's Cancer Insurance include:

  ~ Pays regardless of any other insurance you have with other insurance companies.

  ~ Provides a cancer screening benefit that you can use even if you are never diagnosed with cancer.

  ~ Guaranteed renewable as long as premiums are paid when due.

  ~ Benefits paid directly to you unless you specify otherwise.

  ~ You can take your coverage with you even if you change jobs or leave your employment.

  ~ Flexible coverage options for employees and their families.

For more information about Accident Insurance and Cancer Insurance you may contact the Human Resources Office to request a brochure.  You may also visit the Colonial Insurance website at www.ColonialLife.com

Long-term care is different from traditional medical care.  This type of care covers those affected by accidents, injury, or illness, and it is not restricted to the elderly.  Long-term care helps one live as he or she is now.  Long-term care services may include help with activities of daily living, home health care, respite care, hospice care, adult day care, care in a nursing home and care in an assisted living facility.  Long-term care may also include care management services which will evaluate your needs and coordinate and monitor the delivery of long-term care services. 

Long Term Care Insurance provided through Insurance and Wellness in the Rockies is one other way you may pay for long-term care.  Long-term care insurance covers some or all of the cost of custodial care of individuals who are no longer capable of caring for themselves.  By purchasing long-term care insurance while you are employed you have the opportunity to save on premiums which would be lost by waiting until you retire.  Why?  Because premium rates are based on the age you are when you originally purchase the policy.

This voluntary program is available to all Colorado Mesa University employees. To find out more please contact Human Resources or contact Insurance & Wellness in the Rockies at 800.889.6260.
