You have the option of cancelling the visit, if for some reason your insurance does not cover it.

When The Ashe Center is closed, you still have access to care -- both online, and in the local community using your UCSHIP benefits. Our 24/7 Nurseline is available After Hours, LiveHealth Online offers telemedicine visits online, and The Ashe Center keeps a list of local urgent care centers updated for your convenience.

We realize that getting sick is not always predictable. In the event that you need to seek medical care when The Ashe Center is closed, remember that all currently registered UCLA students have access to various alternatives for urgent access to medical care, including: 24/7 Nurseline, telemedicine visits through LiveHealth Online, local urgent care centers, and in the case of an actual emergency, emergency room access.

24/7 After Hours Nurseline

All currently registered UCLA students have access to advice & information from a registered nurse through the After Hours NurseLine at (310) 825-4073. For more information, visit the NurseLine section of our website.

Weekend Telehealth Visits (NEW!)

Ashe Center primary care providers are now available for weekend telehealth video visits during the COVID-19 emergency. While social distancing and other measures to prevent infection are of the utmost importance, it's equally important to stay healthy and keep any pre-existing medical conditions under control. Instead of coming to see providers in person for an exam, consultation, or follow-up appointment, you can connect with your PCP using a HIPAA-compliant version of Zoom on your mobile device, tablet or computer. The information is securely transmitted and is treated the same way it would be if you were meeting with your provider in person. To schedule, log into the Patient Portal and select Weekend Telehealth Visit. Telehealth appointments available 9am-4pm on Saturday and Sunday.

Plan changes for 2021

Effective Jan. 1, 2021, there are changes to member cost-sharing amounts:

  • The calendar year deductible remains $0 when you see UC Select providers. For other providers, deductibles are increasing to $500 (preferred)/$750 (non-preferred) for individuals and $1,000 (preferred)/$1,750 (non-preferred) for families. The deductible is the amount you pay before the plan begins to share in the cost for covered services.
  • The copayment for urgent care for Anthem preferred providers has decreased from $30 to $20. The copayment for emergency care has increased to $300 if the patient is not admitted to the hospital.
  • Coinsurance for Anthem preferred providers has increased from 20% to 30%.
  • The out-of-pocket maximum has increased to $6,100 (UC Select)/ $7,600 (preferred)/$9,600 (non-preferred) for individuals and $9,700 (UC Select)/ $14,200 (preferred)/$20,200 (non-preferred) for family coverage.

New ID Cards

All UC Care members will receive a new ID card from Anthem by the end of December 2020 to use beginning Jan. 1, 2021, for medical, prescription drug and behavioral health services.

How the plan works

  • You may choose any doctor or care facility, worldwide.
  • You have two options for in-network care:
    • You pay set copayments for covered services and there’s no deductible when you use providers in the UC Select network (available only in California).
    • You also can choose a medical provider in the Anthem Preferred network and pay 20% of the cost of service after the deductible has been met. The Anthem Preferred network has a $250 deductible for individual coverage and $750 deductible for a family of three or more.
  • Or, you can choose a non-preferred or out-of-network provider and pay 50% of the cost. There is a $500 deductible for individual coverage and $1,500 deductible for a family of three or more.
  • Behavioral health benefits are provided through Anthem Blue Cross. You can see any behavioral health provider you choose, but you’ll pay less and receive higher benefit coverage when you see an in-network provider. Some services may require prior authorization.
  • Annual out-of-pocket maximums limit what you pay. If you reach the annual maximum, the plan pays 100% of your covered medical costs for the rest of the year. There is one combined out-of-pocket maximum for medical, behavioral health and pharmacy expenses.
    • UC Select: $5,100/individual; $8,700/family
    • Anthem Preferred: $6,600/individual; $13,200 family
    • Out-of-network: $8,600/individual; $19,200 family
  • Anthem Blue Cross will administer claims.
