USA Viva Health & Dental Plan will offer 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.
Enrollment in USA Viva Health & Dental Plan will be during Open Enrollment which begins on Tuesday, November 1, 2016, and ends on Wednesday, November 30, 2016.
Viva Health, located in Birmingham, AL, is affiliated with the UAB Medical System. Viva administers narrow network health plans with many large employers across the state of Alabama.
USA Viva Health & Dental Plan is a narrow network plan consisting of USA Health medical providers and select providers from the VIVA network. VIVA working with USA Health will ensure access to primary care and all medical specialties. To assist with primary care, a Telehealth program will be included providing telephone and internet access to a physician for minor medical concerns resulting in less cost for the employee, time saved and convenience. Out-of-network services will only be available for emergency care and when approved by Viva’s medical director.
The employee cost sharing will be the lowest of the plans offered by the University:
Single - $108.00* Family - $350.00**Includes the non-tobacco wellness incentive of $50
USA Viva Health & Dental Plan will save the employee $240 for single coverage and $816 for family coverage annually, as compared to the USA Health & Dental Plan’s Standard Plan. In addition, the benefits provided by the plan include no deductibles or copay amounts required for hospital and physician services as well as several other services. The pharmacy benefit will be administered by Express Scripts, Inc., and the dental benefit will be administered by Southland National with plan benefits the same as those provided with the USA Health & Dental Plan’s Standard Plan.
Enrollment in the USA Viva Health & Dental Plan will be on a voluntary basis to all benefits-eligible employees.
USA Viva Health & Dental Plan representatives will be at the Employee Benefits Fair on Thursday, November 3, 2016, and on Friday, November 4, 2016, to answer your questions and to assist with enrollment.
Beginning January 1, 2017, the University of South Alabama in coordination with USA Health will offer employees the opportunity to participate in a new health and dental plan, USA Viva Health & Dental Plan!
May I join any of the three plans offered by the University: Base Plan, Standard Plan, USA-Viva Health & Dental Plan? No, if you are a new employee you may select between the Standard Plan and the USA-Viva Health & Dental Plan. Only employees hired before January 1, 2013, are eligible for the Base Plan.
Does the USA-VIVA Health & Dental Plan offer dental benefits? Yes, the USA-Viva Health & Dental Plan offers the exact same dental benefits that are offered in both the Base Plan and Standard Plans.
If I join the USA-VIVA Health & Dental Plan can I switch back to the Base Plan or Standard Plan?Yes, but only to the Standard Plan and only during the annual open enrollment month (generally in November) for coverage starting January 1st of the following year. You may not switch plans during the year unless you have a change in your residence and you reside outside the state of Alabama. If you are able to change from the USA-Viva Health & Dental Plan you may only join the Standard Plan; you may not transfer back to the Base Plan.
Will my doctor be covered under the USA-Viva Health & Dental Plan?The USA-Viva Health & Dental Plan’s network is limited to physicians from USA along with a select few additional specialists affiliated with other hospitals. The provider directory can help you determine if your physician(s) are in the network. You can also call Viva at 800-294-7780 or [USA micro site url] or go to the web site for the provider listing at www.aldkdlajfj.com to verify your physician’s status. Remember, medical providers that are not Network Providers are not eligible for benefits.
Under the USA-Viva Health & Dental Plan, if my Network Physician refers me to a Non-Network medical provider will that be covered by the Plan?No, generally no out-of-network medical providers will qualify for benefits. The only time a Non-Network medical provider will qualify for benefits is when Viva Health’s medical director has approved the medical expense or service for payment of benefits in advance of the medical procedure or expense.
What should I consider when deciding whether to join the USA-Viva Health & Dental Plan?You should consider that only a limited network of medical providers will qualify for coverage. This may not be the best plan if you have a chronic illness and are currently receiving medical care from multiple
providers and specialists. In that case, you will want to verify that the medical providers you use are Network Providers and are listed in the provider directory. If they are not Network Providers, you should elect to remain with the Standard Plan option or the Base Plan option.
Why are the benefits better and the cost less for the USA-Viva Health & Dental Plan?The medical providers on the USA-Viva Health & Dental Plan have agreed to accept a lower fee for services, resulting in lower costs for you. These medical providers also work to achieve better medical outcomes through quality of care, which also reduces costs. The USA-Viva Health & Dental Plan benefits are better for medical services but the pharmacy and dental benefits are the same as the Standard Plan benefit.
Who selects the medical providers for the USA-Viva Health & Dental Plan?Viva Health, Inc. has the sole responsibility for selecting medical providers to be included as Network Providers. Viva Health, Inc. monitors these providers for access and quality of care as well as medical outcomes to ensure the highest level of medical care. Viva Health, Inc. has the sole authority to add and remove providers from the listing of Network Providers.
How do I join the USA-Viva Health & Dental Plan?You must complete an enrollment form and file it with the University’s Human Resources Department. When you file that form you will attest that you understand:1. that the USA-Viva Health & Dental Plan is
a limited network plan that does not provide benefits for out-of-network medical providers except for emergency medical care (and then only after proper notification) and services prior approved by Viva Health’s medical director;
2. that it is your responsibility to ensure that medical care is provided by a Network Provider; and
3. that you may not change from the USA-Viva Health & Dental Plan except during open enrollment for coverage effective January 1st of the following year unless if you have a change of residence and reside outside the state of Alabama (see the change-in-status event rule described in your Member Handbook).

Southland Member GuideUsing Your Southland Dental PlanPlease Read This Important Information Before Using Your BenefitsWelcome to The Southland Benefit Solutions Family! This guide explains some of your new dental plan’s more important features. Please read this in order to gain a better understanding of how to best utilize your dental benefits.
Finding A Provider Our provider directory is available at www.SouthlandBenefit.com. Click the “Locate a Provider” tab in the top menu bar, select the DentaNet network, and you will be presented with a range of search options.
Deductibles Your deductible is $25 per individual and a maximum of 3 per family within a plan year ($75 max per year). This cost is waived for Type I services at In-Network Providers.
In-Network Benefits When visiting an in-network provider, covered dental services are based on the maximum allowable charge (MAC) schedule, a set of negotiated rates within our network. Using an in-network provider eliminates balance-billing, maximizes your benefits, and reduces out-of-pocket expenses.
Out-of-Network Claims When visiting an out-of-network provider, covered dental services are based on a MAC schedule. Using an out-of-network provider may result in balance-billing and greater out-of-pocket expenses.
ID Cards and Your Contract Number
After enrollment, each employee is issued an ID card and contract number. Your contract number is used to access benefits, eligibility, authorizations, and claims for you and your dependents. Additional or replacement cards can be requested through customer service or the Southland member portal located on our website.

Documentation/Receipts• Due to IRS regulations, certain debit card transactions
need to be substantiated. Substantiating means validating a transaction to ensure the debit card was used for IRS-approved items/services within the allowed time frame. If documentation is required for a debit card transaction, you will receive email notifications to log in to your account to view receipt reminders. The receipt reminder will display the documentation required and your next steps. Note: If you do not have an email address on file, a receipt reminder will be mailed.
• Debit card use will be put on a temporary hold if documentation is not received within the designated time period. You will be asked to pay back the plan or offset the ineligible amount with documentation for eligible out-of-pocket expenses incurred within the same plan year. The benefits debit card will be reactivated as soon as the appropriate documentation or repayment is received.
Increased use of funds, less chance to forfeit at year endCard is valid for three years

Guide to the Benefits Debit Card — FSA, continuedWhen Documentation is Not Needed • Co-payments tied to the account holder’s health plan: These
amounts need to be communicated to Discovery Benefits by your employer.
• Purchases made at merchants using the Inventory Information Approval System (IIAS): These merchants will approve eligible expenses at the point of purchase. When using your debit card at these merchants, swipe your debit card for the entire purchase. The items that are eligible expenses will be approved, and the merchant will ask for a secondary form of payment for ineligible items. To find a full list of merchants utilizing IIAS, visit our website at www.DiscoveryBenefits.com/IIAS.
• Recurring expenses that match the same provider and dollar amount for previously substantiated transactions (e.g., orthodontia claims, maintenance prescription drugs/services).
When Documentation is Needed• Debit card transactions that do not meet the above criteria
will need additional documentation due to IRS regulations. If documentation is required for a debit card transaction, you will receive email notifications to log in to your account to view receipt reminders. The receipt reminder will display the documentation required and your next steps. Note: If you do not have an email address on file, a receipt reminder will be mailed.
Documentation Requirements• Documentation for medical expenses, which is required
by the IRS, includes a receipt/statement containing: name of the provider, date(s) of service, type(s) of service and amount (after insurance, if applicable). Explanation of Benefits (EOB) provided by insurance providers are ideal for substantiating claims. • When submitting a receipt for a co-payment amount,
please be sure the co-payment description is on the receipt. In some cases, you will need to ask for a receipt at the point of service. If “co-payment” is not clearly identified, have the provider write “co-payment” on the receipt and sign it.
• Documentation for dependent care expenses, which is required by the IRS, includes a receipt containing: name of provider, date(s) of service, type(s) of service and dollar amount. Note: The daycare provider’s signature on the receipt reminder will replace the need to submit a receipt.
Unacceptable forms of documentation include the following:• Provider statements that only indicate the amount paid,
balance forward or previous balance• Credit card receipts• Missing or vague medical practitioner’s notes• Bills for prepaid dependent care/medical expenses where
services have not yet occurred
How to Submit DocumentationDocumentation can be uploaded by logging in to your account at www.DiscoveryBenefits.com or by using the mobile app feature. If you choose to fax your documentation, please include the receipt reminder. Processing time is two business days; if further action is required, you will be notified in writing. Documentation is processed on a Central Timezone basis.

*=Required Fields
If you have a payroll deduction for insurance premiums, eligible premiums will be deducted before taxes are calculated. You will automatically be enrolled in this portion of your Section 125 Plan. However, if you wish, you may opt out of the Employee Premium Conversion part of the Plan by contacting your HR Department and filling out the waiver form. Note: Insurance premiums are not eligible for reimbursement with your Medical or Limited Medical Spending Account.
I authorize my employer to reduce my pay on a per-pay-period basis as indicated above. I understand my reduction is for one flex plan year and that I cannot change or revoke my election unless I experience a qualifying event in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 125 and submit my request within a reasonable amount of time as deemed by the IRS and my employer. I am aware of the plan’s forfeiture provision and that my Social Security and federal unemployment benefits may be reduced because of my reduced salary for tax purposes. Further, I authorize the release of any information necessary to substantiate claims submitted against my Flexible Spending Account.
