The University provides Blue Cross-Blue Shield
MVF I full family coverage, with Master Medical
Option IV and with the 0-45 NM rider the IMB-OB
rider, and the ML rider for employees commencing
with their first day of actual work, provided they
enroll within 30 calendar days of such date of employment.
The University pays the monthly cost of maintaining
the above described plan for an employee and his
family, if he or she has such, at a rate not to
exceed the applicable rate for full family, two
persons, or single person coverage.
The University will make its contribution for the
month following each month that the employee is
on the payroll for more than half of the employee’s
regular scheduled work days and for the first three
months that the employee is off the payroll and
absent because of a medical leave of absence. Except
for an absence due to medical leave, the employee
will be responsible for his or her premium for the
month following any month that he or she is on the
payroll for half a month or less. With respect to
employees on a medical leave, such employees will
be responsible for his or her premium for any months
following the first three months that an employee
is off the payroll because of such a leave.
If an employee wishes to extend the coverage provided
above to dependents other than dependents covered
by the basic family coverage provided above, such
employee shall pay the full cost of such extended
coverage.
At age 65, employees are eligible for Medicare
benefits and are placed on "complementary coverage" on
the University's health insurance plan, which recognizes
the availability of the Medicare benefits for such
employees.
The University provides Blue Cross/Blue Shield "Exact-Fill
Complementary Coverage" (such "Exact-Fill" Coverage,
in combination with Medicare, provides employees
at age 65 and older coverage that is “exactly" the
same as coverage provided for pre-65 employees).
The University reimburses employees for the cost
of Medicare "Part B" on a quarterly basis
following presentation by the employee of proof
of payment for such Medicare "Part B" benefits.
Such reimbursement is retroactive to July 1,1979.
Additional regulation on this subject
may also be found and may supersede this
policy for employees covered by collective
bargaining agreements.
