How to choose UC Davis Health for you and your family

The health expertise of a world-class university – still among your lowest-priced options.

Employee Donnell Gray

UC Davis Health is one of your lowest-cost options

Please note: health insurance rates on UC-wide mailings and websites may not reflect special prices for UC Davis employees. More details below.

SEE YOUR SPECIAL UC DAVIS RATES:

To see your health plan rates as a UC Davis employee, be sure to visit the UC Davis Human Resources open enrollment website and its rates information page.

UC Davis is part of a special pilot program, so UC Davis rates are different than UC-wide rates. 

This year’s open enrollment period for existing UC Davis employees began Oct. 31 at 8 a.m. and wrapped up Nov. 22 at 5 p.m. However, for new UC Davis employees who are enrolling in UC benefits, the information below still applies. When you’re considering your health care options this year, we hope you’ll consider staying in the UC family – and select a plan that includes UC Davis Health.

Choosing a UC Davis Health primary care provider for your everyday care gives you a personal connection to the health expertise, discoveries and resources of:

  • the world’s leading public research university system
  • one of the nation’s top 10 public universities, and
  • Sacramento’s No. 1-ranked hospital

Convenient locations and urgent care options

We proudly offer patient-centered care at clinic locations close to home and work – including two clinics in Davis, one in Midtown Sacramento, and several on our Sacramento campus.

We also offer employees a wide variety of options for urgent care and after-hours care.

How to choose UC Davis Health

Please note: Information is current as of Oct. 15, 2024.

To choose us for your family’s everyday care, first select a health plan that includes UC Davis Health (we may also be listed as UC Davis Medical Group). 

Note: The UC Blue & Gold HMO remains among the lowest-cost premium options for you. UC Blue & Gold remains one of the lowest-priced monthly costs available, with rates equal to Kaiser rates for 2025. And it’s easy to switch from Kaiser. 

IMPORTANT NOTES! 

1) Because UC Davis is part of a special pilot program, health plan rates for UC Davis employees may differ from those published in UC-wide benefits materials and websites (such as the systemwide Open Enrollment brochure and the UCnet website). For information about the most accurate UC Davis rates, see the UC Davis Human Resources open enrollment website and its rates information page.

2) If you are in a bargaining unit represented by a union, the University will adhere to its collective bargaining obligations, and any applicable collective bargaining agreement, with respect to your contribution rates.
