Health Care Coverage for Employees in Hawaii
Many Nova Southeastern University employees in the university’s coral reef research programs are based outside of Florida, including Hawaii. These sites and their teams play an important part in the university’s mission, from protecting our oceans’ health to restoring our coral reefs.
That’s why NSU has partnered with Hawaii Medical Service Association (HMSA), an independent licensee of Blue Cross and Blue Shield, to offer comprehensive health care benefits specifically for Hawaii-based employees.
HMSA Plan Overview
Through the HMSA plan, NSU employees can receive a range of health care benefits, including the following:
- Medical: annual exams, preventative screenings, emergency room visits, specialist visits, lab tests, hospitalization, surgery, and more
- Vision: routine eye exams, eyeglasses, contact lenses, and more
- Dental: dental exams, x-rays, cleanings, basic care, partial coverage for major services, and more
- Pharmacy: benefits include coverage for prescription drugs
- Other Benefits: life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment, and accelerated death benefits
Note: HMSA is only available to employees who work and reside in Hawaii.
