Changes to UMP Benefits for 2008
Changes to Medical Benefits
- Mental Health Benefit Increase—For outpatient visits, the annual limit will increase to 50 visits per year (up from 20 visits in 2007). For inpatient services, there is no specific limit, but services must be preauthorized.
- Chemical Dependency Benefit Increase—The maximum UMP payment for both inpatient and outpatient services is increasing to $14,000 per 24 consecutive months.
- Routine Hearing Exams Covered 100%—Routine hearing exams will be covered under the preventive care benefit (no deductible and paid at 100% when you see a UMP network provider). UMP pays up to $400 for hearing aids and associated hardware every three calendar years.
- Some glucometers are free! Glucometers listed as covered under Tier 1 on the UMP Preferred Drug List are free—you'll still need a prescription for these to be covered.
See the 2008 Summary of Benefits for details.
Free & Clear Program Gets Even Better!
