The University fulltime employees and their qualified dependents are offered medical insurance through Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama. Both medical plans offer preventative care at 100%, an out‐of‐pocket maximum to protect you should a catastrophic event occur, and out‐of‐network coverage when needed. Although   out‐of‐network coverage is available, using network providers will save you money. You can find Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama providers online at www.AlabamaBlue.com  or by calling Blue Cross Blue Shield of   Alabama at 1‐800‐292‐8868.

The University pays for a Group Basic Life and Basic Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance through Guardian to all fulltime employees at no cost to the employee.

All fulltime employees are offered the following group benefits through Guardian Insurance: Dental, Vision, Life, Short Term Disability, Long Term Disability (after being employed for one year), Critical Illness, Accident, and Cancer

Flexible Spending account- With a Flexible Spending Account (FSA), you can set aside pre‐tax dollars to pay for out‐of‐pocket expenses incurred for either health care or dependent day care. Because the amount you elect is taken on a pre‐tax basis, you have the opportunity to save up to an estimated 25% of out‐of‐pocket expenses!
