The UW Benefits Office manages the plan but does not handle claims or enrollment. Please contact LifeWise on issues related to fall quarter 2011 and beyond. For questions prior to fall quarter 2011, contact WPAS directly.
Hall Health Primary Care is administered by UW Medical Center and is a part of the GAIP preferred provider network. Hall Health Primary Care Center is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., except Tuesdays it is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Contact Hall Health Center.
The GAIP plan allows you and your enrolled, eligible dependents to seek medical treatment wherever you please. However, your cost when using a non-network provider is higher than if you see a network provider. Please review the plan book and summaries for more information on the network providers and the differences in benefits.
If you need services from a non-network provider or facility, you are covered. Before seeking care, contact LifeWise to find a contracted provider in your location. If you use a contracted provider, you will not have to pay any amount over the allowable charge.
Locate a LifeWise contracted provider by accessing http://www.student.lifewiseac.com/uw/gaip/ or by calling Customer Service.
If you need non-emergency services outside of western Washington, you may wish to use Beech Street referral service. If you use this service, you may be able to find a provider who will cost less, but there is no guarantee. Beech Street providers in most cases are considered non-network providers.
