Valparaiso University values its employees. We provide our employees with a variety of benefits. The traditional benefits covered are described in the Fringe Benefits brochure. View the PPO Benefit Summary or the HRA Benefit Summary.

One of the new developments for 2012 is the addition of Health Advocate to the offering of benefits.  All Valpo employees (whether enrolled in a health plan or not) will have their own Personal Health Advocate—a trained professional, typically a Registered Nurse, who can assist with health issues or by helping navigate the waters of health plan administration.  The program is designed to help you find out more about a health condition or a diagnosis, find the right doctor or specialist for treatment, resolve insurance billing and claim issues, assist with elder care and Medicare issues, and much more!

Find out more about Health Advocate on their website (members.healthadvocate.com) in the "Getting Started" section.  Use "Valparaiso University" to log onto the site.

“Now That You’ve Enrolled”, a brochure that provides information on using United Healthcare’s Health Plan features and tools, is also available.   This resource has been designed with hyperlinks to allow the user to quickly find topics of interest within the document and link to UHC's online resources.
