Subject: insurance addendum

I would like to clarify the insurance addendum that was sent to the
students via your offices. The changes that are discussed are only to
the Medical Plan and in no way affect the dental or vision plans which
are completely separate from the medical. The one point which seems to
have confused many students is the exclusion with regard to eye
examinations. The medical plan has never covered vision care. This is
taken care of by the vision plan.

I hope this will allay any concerns that benefits have been decreased in
any way. It is certainly the opposite. For instance, one increased
benefit the students may want to note is that the deductible has been
decreased from $50 to $25 per accident and from $200 to $100 for the
maximum deductible per year.

Thank you for passing this information along to your students.
Janet
