Employees continue to contribute 10 percent of the premium for their health and prescription drug coverage.  Costs are calculated on the type/size of contracts.  Rates are based on the following categories:  single, two-party, or family.  All contributions will be made through bi-weekly pre-tax payroll deductions.  Employee contributions will be taken over 20 or 26 pays depending on your work schedule and the pay option you selected.

 

Below are employee costs for participation in the health and prescription drug plan in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education Group Health Program.  These contribution rates are effective July 1, 2005, through June 30, 2006.  For most employees, the first payroll deduction will be reflected in the pay you receive on July 8, 2005.  Twenty-six pay faculty converting from the 20 pay rate will have their first deduction on the pay to be received on August 19, 2005.

The Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act requires that health care plan members receive annual notification of the coverage provided for mastectomy patients who elect reconstructive surgery.

 

Your State System coverage provides benefits for reconstruction of the breast on which the mastectomy is performed, surgery and reconstruction of the other breast to produce a symmetrical appearance, and prostheses and treatment of physical complications for all states of mastectomy, including lymphedemas.  These services are elective and should be chosen by consulting your physician.  Benefits are subject to any deductible and coinsurance provisions.
