VIVA Health & Dental Plan

The University of South Alabama in coordination with USA Health offers employees the opportunity to participate in the, USA VIVA Health & Dental Plan!

USA VIVA Health & Dental Plan offers value to employees and their dependents with a low cost benefit plan that provides access to select medical providers concentrating on improved medical outcomes and preventive health.

The employee cost sharing for USA VIVA Health & Dental Plan will be the lower of the two plans offered by the University - $90.00 per month for single coverage and $300.00 per month for family coverage.  Annualized, this will save employees $456 for single coverage and $1,416 for family coverage, as compared to the USA Health & Dental Plan’s (BCBS) Standard Plan. In addition, the benefits offered include no deductibles or copays for included hospital and physician services, as well as several other services. The pharmacy benefit is administered by Express Scripts, Inc.; the dental benefit is administered by Southland National; and the health and dependent care flexible spending accounts are administered by Discovery Benefits, Inc.  The pharmacy and dental plan benefits are the same as those provided with the USA Health & Dental Plan’s (BCBS) Standard Plan.
