University of California (UC) Health

Caring for Our Patients

From Sacramento to San Diego, UC Health patients are at the center of everything we do: UC Health is more than an academic health system — we’re your community.

We have specialists in more than 150 areas of medicine, and we treat 1.8 million patients across California each year. Because of that volume and experience, patients get health care that’s drawn from years of experience and the most current practices.

The UC PPO plans provide in-network statewide access to expertise across the six world-class UC Health academic medical centers.

About UC Health

By authority of the Regents, University of California Human Resources, located in Oakland, administers all benefit plans in accordance with applicable plan documents and regulations, custodial agreements, University of California Group Insurance Regulations, group insurance contracts, and state and federal laws. No person is authorized to provide benefits information not contained in these source documents, and information not contained in these source documents cannot be relied upon as having been authorized by the Regents. Source documents are available for inspection upon request at (800) 888-8267. What is written here does not constitute a guarantee of plan coverage or benefits — particular rules and eligibility requirements must be met before benefits can be received. The University of California intends to continue the benefits described here indefinitely; however, the benefits of all employees, retirees and plan beneficiaries are subject to change or termination at the time of contract renewal or at any other time by the university or other governing authorities. The university also reserves the right to determine new premiums, employer contributions, and monthly costs at any time. Health and welfare benefits are not accrued or vested benefit entitlements. UC’s contribution toward the monthly cost of the coverage is determined by UC and may change or stop altogether and may be affected by the state of California’s annual budget appropriation. If you belong to an exclusively represented bargaining unit, some of your benefits may differ from the ones described here. For more information, employees should contact their Human Resources office, and retirees should call the UC Retirement Administration Service Center at (800) 888-8267.

In conformance with applicable law and university policy, the university is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer. Please send inquiries for staff regarding the university’s affirmative action and equal opportunity policies for staff to Systemwide AA/EEO Policy Coordinator, University of California Office of the President, 1111 Franklin Street, 5th Floor, Oakland, CA 94607, and inquiries for faculty to the Office of Academic Personnel, University of California Office of the President, 1111 Franklin Street, Oakland, CA 94607.
