The 2008-2009 health insurance policy will INCLUDE a dental discount plan. An optional dental insurance plan will be available at an additional COST. Information on both plans are available in the attachment.

Please see the attached .pdf file of the presentation made to the general assembly on March 26.

The recommendation is for Duke to contract with United Healthcare/StudentResources. The recommendation also comes with serveral plan changes such as a copay schedule. There will be an included dental discount plan and an optional dental insurance.

Attached is the weighted criteria and plan benefits summary. Please comment on the criteria and what should be looked at in the proposed plans - things that have worked well for you, things that have not worked well.

Thanks.

Please see the attached summary from the Subcommittee on Health Insurance.  The RFP is a public document, but it is not posted here - please e-mail DukeStudentInsurance@gmail.com if you require a copy.

This letter was sent by the sub-committee on health insurance upon the recommendation of Dr. Moneta. The addressees, along with CAPS and Dr. Moneta, have been working to improve the access to mental health services and this letter is intended to encourage that work. Hopefully we will see a resolution soon.

Signing up early ensures the timely arrival of your insurance card and reduces the number of e-mail reminders you will get from the Bursar's Office.  A full breakdown of the premium for this year's policy will be posted shortly.  The Graduate School will pay for insurance for Ph.D. students in their first through sixth year (after matriculation). 

E-mail from the Graduate School (approximately March 3, 2007) appears in GPSCNews.

Thank you all who came to the meeting last Wednesday, February 21.  Attached is a brief summary of what happened.  I am pleased to report that we are already gathering some of the answers to the questions asked at that meeting.  They will be posted below.
