What is premium assistance? How do I apply?


What is premium assistance?

UAB provides premium assistance to eligible active employees by giving a medical premium discount based on (1) family size and (2) total combined household income.  


The amount of the discount provided is equal to the lowest cost single plan employee medical premium offered.  



How do I apply for Premium Assistance? 

To apply for this discount, active employees submit the Premium Assistance Application through the UAB for Me portal. The application deadline is 60 days from January 1 each year, or 60 days from the effective date of enrollment in a medical plan for newly eligible employees. Employees are required to reapply each year for the program. 

Go to UAB for Me. Log in using your BlazerID and Password. Click on the Premium Assistance Button. Follow the instructions.
