The health center will be operated by QuadMed, a third-party vendor. Services will be available to eligible non-represented employees and their dependents who are covered by the Anthem consumer-driven health plan (CDHP) or preferred-provider option (PPO) plans.

The Huntington Ingalls Industries Family Health Center at Newport News Shipbuilding is one of two new centers opening for eligible HII employees.

The centers are part of HII’s larger benefits strategy designed to engage employees and their families in their own health and wellness and make quality health care more accessible. The strategy also includes the recent addition of Teladoc, a program where employees can consult with board-certified physicians on non-emergency medical issues via telephone, mobile application or computer.
