BENEFITS OF ASSOCIATION BENEFIT PLAN IMPROVED FOR 1968
As a participant of the Federal Employees Health Benefits
Program, GEHA contracts with the U. S. Civil Service Commission
for the Association Benefit Plan and, by Commission regulation, must
negotiate any changes of benefits or rates by August of the year preceding
that in which the changes become effective. Aware of the steadily
advancing hospital room and board charges, GEHA foresaw a need for
increased coverage of this expense and last August contracted for an
increased basic benefit of $40 per day, to become effective 1 January
1968. As in the past, GEHA has continued its policy of keeping Associa-
tion Benefit Plan premiums below that of the two government-wide plans;
however, the added protection against rising hospital cost necessarily
:resulted in an increase in 1968 premiums which had to be born by the
employee.
