The Rolla Surest Plan is a regional medical plan option for those with a home or work address in an eligible county surrounding Rolla. The plan offers a broad national network of providers with a simplified single fixed copay for per specific service instead of deductibles and coinsurance. Medical service pricing is available in advance through the Surest website, helping participants better understand costs before receiving care. While the plan has no medical deductible, a separate deductible applies to prescription drugs.

Plan Availability

The Rolla Surest Plan is available to faculty and staff with a home or work address in one of the following counties around Rolla: 

You may be eligible for other regional plans depending on where you live and work (i.e., your work address is located in an eligible St. Louis-area county but your home address is in an eligible Columbia-area county, or vice versa). In this case, you will have the option to enroll in either region’s insurance plans. While some plan structure details between regions may be the same or similar, the network of providers receiving preferred/discounted rates is different. Differences in premium cost between regions are due, in part, to these network differences.

Prescription Drugs

The cost of prescription drugs is discounted in-network based on the University’s negotiated rate. You pay the total of the discounted price until the deductible is met. For out-of-network claims, members pay the difference between the non-participating and participating pharmacy charge. 

Specialty medications are managed and processed through ArchimedesRx. For retail drugs, 90-day fills or refill at Mizzou pharmacies are the same cost as mail-order.
