tell what effects Medicare will have on the PAMA Program. He

25X1A visited OTR Personnel on 6 December to discuss
25X1A retirement plans. inquiry was directed toward
the Daniels Bill and its possible effects on the CIA Retirement
System; specifically, he wanted to know if the bonus provided for
in the Daniels Bill would be applied to the CIA Retirement System.
He was advised that it was reasonably well accepted within the
Agency retirement staffs and that the necessary legislation would
be forthcoming which would eventually Incorporate the Daniels Bill
bonus into the CIA System. felt that there was an 25X1A
element of risk in retiring early with the hope that the provision
would be available later, and therefore, decided that he would not
consider retiring this year but would wait for "two or three more
years".

TO ALL DENTA POLICYHOLDERS
In July 1963, employees of the Agency expressed sufficient interest in a
plan of dental insurance to warrant negotiation with an underwriter to provide
such coverage. In November 1963, announced the DENTA Plan, 25X1A
effective 2 December 1963.
From the very beginning it was recognized that the DENTA Plan was
unique and experimental, and that it was quite likely that during the initial
period of coverage claims might be excessive. It was hoped, however, that
the program would stabilize, actuarily, and that this type of coverage could
be continued as a part of the Agency's overall insurance program.
As anticipated, claims were high but the hoped-for stabilization did not
occur. After the first contract year ending 1 December 1964, the ratio of
claims to premiums exceeded acceptable limits. Nonetheless, the underwriter
agreed to renew the DENTA Plan for an,additional contract year. In addition,
an open period was announced in April 1965 in the hope that a sizeable number
of employees might subscribe to this plan and that the increased enrollment
might result in a favorable ratio of claims to premiums. At the same time,
it was recognized that the adverse claims experience might continue; for this 25X1A
the announcement of the open period in included a notation
reason,
that the premium rates stated were "Guaranteed only through December 1965".
The open period was quite successful and many employees enrolled in
the plan. Still, and despite the significant increase in subscribers, claims
continued to exceed premiums by 30 - 35%.
Based on the continuing adverse claims experience and studies which
indicated that no improvement is likely, the underwriter has notified us that
it could no longer continue the "experiment". Normally, the effective date
of cancellation would be 1 December 1965, but the underwriter has agreed
to extend this date to 1 January 1966.
This notice, therefore, is to inform you that your DENTA coverage
will be terminated on 1 January 1966. Prepaid premiums for the period
beyond 1 January 1966 will be refunded soon thereafter. We wish also to
call to your attention that the termination provisions of the DENTA Plan
allow reimbursement of certain expenses beyond the date of cancellation,
as described below:

a. Orthodontic work in process on 1 January 1966 - After termination
date, claims will be paid to the extent of one full quarter's allowance, plus
1/90 of a quarter's allowance times the number of elapsed days in the quarter
interrupted by the date of termination. Payment of any benefit is subject to
the overall limitations in the DENTA contract.
b. All other covered dental services - Dental work in the process of
being completed on the date of cancellation, 1 January 1966, will be covered
within the terms of the DENTA contract, even if completed after the date of
termination, for ninety days after the cancellation date.
In order to "phase-out" this program as soon as possible, all claims
should be submitted by 1 June 1966.
