Health Coverage
As a NAF instrumentality of the Federal Government, the Marine Corps NAF community offers health insurance through the Department of Defense (DoD) Uniform Health Plan (UHP). Aetna US Healthcare (AUSHC) is currently the third party administrator for the DoD UHP. DoD UHP includes coverage for medical and dental. Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) are available in some geographic locations, in addition to the DoD UHP. Under the DoD UHP there are two different benefit options available. Employees electing to enroll in the DoD UHP are mandated into the plan that is available in their geographic area. Listed below is a description of the available plans. For additional information, or specific plan coverage, please contact your local personnel office.
- Managed Care Plan POS II
This plan is known as a "preferred provider" plan. As a member of this plan, each member is required to seek medical care from a list of participating providers, known as "network providers". If care is obtained outside of this network, benefits will be paid at a lesser level. There is no requirement for a PCP with the Open Choice plan. - Traditional Choice
This plan is known as a traditional "indemnity" plan. There are no networks to follow, there is no requirement to select a PCP. Under this plan, each member has an annual deductible and specific co-insurance limits.
To determine which plan is available in your geographic area, contact your local personnel office.
