THE BATTALION
A&M to Offer New Employe Group Insurance Plan
A new employe group insur
ance and hospitalization pro
gram offering expanded benefits
is now being introduced at A&M.
The new plan, which includes
contracts with three different
insurance firms, was approved
by the Texas A&M University
System upon recommendation of
the System Insurance Commit,
tee. The insurance committee
included representation from the
Faculty Fringe Benefits Com
mittee.
Southwestern Life Insurance
Co. was selected to provide life
insurance and basic hospital and
major medical coverage. Conti
nental Casualty Co. was chosen
for long-term disability cover
age and Continental Insurance
Companies (Commercial Insur
ance Co. of Newark, N.J.) for ac
cidental death and dismember
ment.
Robert L. Gulley Jr., person
nel director, said the new cover
age goes into effect Sept. 1. He
noted detailed information will
be furnished through the mail
and at enrollment seminars
which begin this month.
Under the new program, em
ployes will have the opportunity
to purchase economical term in
surance in maximum amounts
equal to their annual salary, up
to $25,000. Currently, the maxi
mum is $5,000, which will con
tinue to be required for all em
ployes.
Gulley said the new basic hos
pital and major medical coverage
features greater benefits in sev
eral areas. Rather than having
the currently limited hospital
room rate, the new program cov
ers the cost of an average semi
private room taking into consid
eration rising costs and varia
tions according to regions of the
country. Gulley said the semi
private benefits can be applied to
private rooms.
Other new features include
maternity benefits and additional
accident expense. The additional
accident expense provides for up
to $300, in or out of the hospital,
and is not subject to deductions.
The new disability income in
surance represents substantial
improvement at reduced cost,
Gulley observed. While the cur
rent policy has maximum pay
ment of six years, the new pro
gram will continue to provide
benefits until the recipient
reaches age 65. Monthly benefits
under the new policy begin after
90 days of disability, while the
present policy does not begin
payment until 120 days.
Accidental death and dismem
berment coverage also is being
expanded at reduced cost. Lim
its are being increased from
$150,000 to $200,000, with an
employe eligible to purchase an
amount up to 10 times his an
nual salary.
Gulley said the Texas A&M
University System is making the
expanded coverage possible at
economical rates by assuming aj.
ministrative cost of the plan.
He requested that question
concerning the new program [,
presented at the enrollniei
seminars.
