CU offers four medical plans to meet a range of needs

With four medical plans for benefit-eligible employees, spouses and families, CU has a plan that's right for you.

With 85% to 100% of your premiums covered by CU, medical care is affordable for you and your dependents. You can prioritize what meets your needs by exploring plan networks, how much is costs to have the plan, and how much it costs to use it.

Eligible faculty and staff can choose from four medical plans: CU Health Plan - Exclusive, CU Health Plan - Extended, CU Health Plan - High Deductible and CU Health Plan - Kaiser.

Regardless of which plan you choose, you will have fully covered preventative care, affordable prescription drug prices, a variety of state and national network options, as well as urgent and emergency care coverage inside and outside the U.S. Plus, you can pair your medical plan with a health saving account or a health care flexible spending account.

Eligibility: You must be in a benefits-eligible position, working 50% or greater time to enroll in and use this CU Advantage item. Eligible CU faculty and staff can enroll in, adjust or cancel their benefits during the annual Open Enrollment period or certain qualifying life events. Eligible new hires have 31 days after their hire date to select their benefits package.

It's been great to have CU insurance that covers most of my co-pays for medical visits.

I finally got my wisdom teeth out after 10 years of waiting for good insurance. I was thrilled to have CU's dental plan take care of everything for me, and used sick time for recovery.

Alma Zavala, CMCI HR Coordinator / CU Boulder

September 2023

I recently moved from out of state and my first workday was 9/1/23. On 9/16, Saturday morning my right arm started hurting. Long story, I got seen at the ER and given pain meds. I'm still in pain and I know acupuncture helped me tremendously with a related issue. I learned that my CU health ins. covers acupuncture treatments.

I tried looking at the Anthem website and couldn't find any information. I tried finding an acupuncturist online, but the ones I found didn't accept health ins. Paying out of pocket was very costly. I asked colleagues for recommendations, but again, they did not take health ins.

I was so overwhelmed and didn't know how I could find an acupuncturist in my medical network. I remembered CU Advantage! I log into my CU portal. CU Advantage was my lifesaver! It helped me find the information I needed. I was able to find an acupuncturist and made an appointment for this week! Thank you, CU Advantage!
