UC Self-funded Health Plans

The University of California offers various health care plans to its employees and retirees. Some of the medical plans are funded by the University and others are fully insured by an insurance carrier. The plan provider, whether the University of California or an insurance carrier, is required by HIPAA to provide a notice of privacy practices. The University of California Health and Welfare Plans Notice of Privacy Practices applies to the University’s "self-funded" plans as required by HIPAA privacy regulations and is found under UC Notice of Privacy Practice at this website. If you are a member of an insured plan, the insurance carrier will make its privacy notice available to you.

UC understands that your medical information is personal and we are committed to protecting your information. In general, the medical information held at the University consists of information about your health plan enrollment. In some cases, it may also include information that you have provided to UC staff members to assist with the coordination of your benefits or to resolve a complaint or grievance.
