• Your coverage will begin on the first day of a pay period following two full pay periods of employment.
• The two full pay period waiting period applies if you are a newly hired colleague or have transferred from a PRN position to a benefits eligible position.
• Coverage for your dependents begins on the same day as your coverage as long as you have enrolled them for health insurance.

If you are a new hire and you do not enroll by your enrollment deadline, you will have the following coverage by default:

• Basic Life and AD&D insurance
• Short-Term Disability Coverage
• Long-Term Disability Coverage

• If your condition is a true emergency, you will have a $100 copayment for emergency services. This is in addition to your deductible and coinsurance for the medical plan option you select.
• If you utilize the emergency room for a non-emergency condition, you will have a $300 copayment in addition to your deductible and coinsurance for the medical plan option you select.

• When you receive care from a network PCP, there’s no deductible and care will be covered at 95% with no office visit copayment. 
• More importantly, your Primary Care Physician is the quarterback of your healthcare team.
• A PCP can help you maintain and improve your health and provide direction for any specialist care you need.

If you have a dependent who lives outside the state of Wisconsin, such as a child attending college, you are required to register your dependent with Dean Health Plan  (1-888-895-1188) in order to have the national Multiplan network apply for your dependent’s HSHS Healthy Plan coverage.

Services received from a non-network provider will be covered only if you first obtain a referral from your network provider and prior authorization from Dean Health Plan. Your network provider will need to submit a referral to Dean Health Plan to request coverage for treatment you receive from a provider who does not participate in your assigned network. If HealthEOS is your primary network, you will need a referral if the provider does not participate in either the HSHS/Prevea360 or HealthEOS networks.

Your network provider or Dean Health Plan may limit the number of visits, type of service or length of time for receiving services from a non-network provider. If you have questions about the referral process, contact Dean Health Plan at 888-895-1188.
