Medical Benefits - Anthem Blue Access
Wabash College provides employees with comprehensive health insurance benefits through Anthem Blue Access, with pharmacy coverage administered by TrueRX.
The College offers two medical plan options:
- A Traditional Health Plan (PPO)
- A High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) paired with a Health Savings Account (HSA) for eligible participants
In addition to these medical plans, employees may also enroll in a variety of tax‑advantaged savings accounts, including:
- Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
- Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (DFSA)
- Limited Purpose Flexible Spending Account (LFSA) — available to those enrolled in the HDHP with an HSA
- Health Savings Account (HSA) — available only to employees enrolled in the HDHP
These accounts allow employees to set aside pre‑tax dollars to help offset qualifying medical, dental, vision, and dependent‑care expenses, depending on the plan selected.
HEALTHeACCESS
Employees enrolled in either the Traditional PPO Plan or the High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) also have access to the HealtheAccess Employee Health Clinic—an on‑site/near‑site clinic offered at no cost through our partnership with Franciscan Health. This convenient benefit provides employees with quick, high‑quality care for common health needs without the stress of copays, deductibles, or long wait times.
The clinic is designed to support routine and preventive care, minor illness visits, health coaching, and overall wellness so employees can get the care they need close to work and get back to their day quickly. It’s a valuable resource that helps remove barriers to care, making it easier to stay healthy, address concerns early, and avoid unnecessary urgent care or emergency room visits.
International Travel Coverage (Informational Only – Not Part of Wabash College Plan)
International medical expenses fall under the out-of-network benefits of the Wabash College health plan. This means there is coverage; however, most international providers require payment upfront, and members must submit a claim for reimbursement after returning home.
While this is not part of the Wabash College plan, employees traveling outside the United States may want to consider purchasing additional international medical coverage for peace of mind.
One option frequently recommended is Anthem’s GeoBlue Single-Trip Travel Medical Plan.
This is an individual policy—separate from Wabash College benefits— some travelers may choose to purchase when traveling internationally. It is typically very affordable, though coverage costs may vary, and includes valuable protections such as coverage for medical evacuation. Please visit the GeoBlue website for complete details and current pricing.
