VIVA CHOICE

Welcome to the UAB Viva Choice Employee page. We are proud to offer Viva Health to UAB Viva Choice members. We pride ourselves on offering competitive benefits, outstanding value, and quality providers. Since we started in 1995, Viva Health has grown to be one of the largest health plans in the State of Alabama. Viva Health is a Member of the UAB Health System.

This health plan is part of a consumer-driven health plan that pairs the health plan benefits with a health savings account (HSA). Funds distributed into an HSA for use with this health plan, up to the annual contribution limit, are tax-deductible and funds in an HSA grow tax-free. You can withdraw funds from your HSA to pay for qualified medical expenses, like deductibles and coinsurance, without penalty. To be eligible for an HSA you must be covered under a high deductible health plan, among other requirements set forth by the IRS.
