KU adopts new insurance plan
The University of Kansas has discontinued Blue Cross-Blue Shield health insurance for students in favor of a cheaper plan offered by the Travelers Insurance Company.
The Travelers Insurance Company's plan was adopted by the Student Body president, after consideration of costs and benefits by a committee of informed students and staff members as the most advantageous to KU students because of its lower price.
Student health insurance was carried by Kansas Blue Cross-Blue Shield since 1958.
For married students interested in maternity coverage, Blue Cross-Blue Shield suggests students consider the Farm Group program of Blue Cross-Blue Shield.
The cost of the new plan for individual students for a year is $42.05. Blue Cross-Blue Shield would have cost $62.50 for the same coverage.
The main difference in the two policies is The Travelers does not include maternity benefits for married students. Thus the cost is lower than it would have been with Blue Cross-Blue Shield.
The benefits for both married
and single students include "no deductible," worldwide additional hospital coverage, ambulance service, consultation fees, prescription drugs, diagnostic X-rays, protection off-campus and during summer, and major medical costs.
Dr. Raymond Schwegler, director of the Student Health Service asks students with complaints about the Travelers policy coverage contact him.
This student insurance policy can be purchased at the business office in Strong Hall until September 24.
ALUMS GIVE MONEY
KU alumni ranked fourth in the nation among state universities for their gifts to the University in 1967-68, according to a recent report by the Council for Financial Aid to Education, Inc., and the American Alumni Council.
Alumni alone, not counting such other sources of private support as non-alumni, general welfare foundations and business corporations, gave $1,676,785 to the University and its Endowment Association during the 1967-68 year.
