* Exciting Update for Employees and Retirees with Meritain Health Insurance

As we announced during insurance open enrollment, the Office of Human Resources is pleased to share additional details about the Christ Hospital Joint Replacement Center of Excellence that will be available to all employees, retirees and their dependents covered by Meritain Health Insurance on June 1, 2019.

Employees, retirees and dependents enrolled in Meritain Health Insurance that are in need of a hip, knee or shoulder joint replacement will have access to the services of Christ Hospital Health Network in Cincinnati, OH. The hospital’s orthopedic surgeons work with you to develop a treatment plan that is right for your condition and lifestyle. They use the latest technology and advanced techniques to offer minimally invasive surgical options when possible, which means less pain and shorter recovery times. To encourage utilization of Christ Hospital, the University is waiving the deductible for all joint replacement expenses at their facilities, resulting in potentially thousands of dollars in savings for those employees, retirees, and dependents that need a joint replacement and take advantage of this program. For more information, please visit the Christ Hospital website.

You can also find the following informational flyers on the Office of Human Resources page on the MyUE Portal:

  • Christ Hospital Welcome Flyer
  • Christ Hospital FAQ
  • Christ Hospital Enrollment Guide

If you have any questions, please contact the Office of Human Resources at ext. 2943.
