The same prescription drug coverage is included in each option regardless of which medical option you select.
Drexel's medical and prescription coverage providers both offer online benefit management:

Drexel Preferred Provider Listings
Medical/Prescription Coverage Waiver Bonus
Full-time employees who have coverage through a spouse or other source (other than Medicare) may elect to waive Medical/Prescription coverage and receive a $100 monthly waiver bonus. To receive the waiver bonus, log into the Drexel Benefits Center through DrexelOne to complete waive coverage.
Dental Coverage
Drexel University offers employees two dental options, a Base and a Preferred plan, both through CIGNA. These plans operate as fee-for-service dental plans and provide a solid base of preventive and restorative services. The Preferred plan, however, provides higher reimbursement percentages for most dental services.
Vision Coverage
Drexel's vision plan is offered through EyeMed. The plan offers coverage for such services as eye exams, frames and lenses, contact lenses, as well as discounts on select eye care supplies. EyeMed provides a schedule of both in-network and out-of-network vision care services, and employees can search for preferred vendors the "Select" network on EyeMed's website.
