2010 Health and Dental Rates
We hope this letter finds you in good health, and in peace.
Thank you for being a part of the United Church of Christ Medical and Dental Benefits Plan, which assists thousands of clergy, lay employees, and their dependents meet ever-increasing healthcare costs. We are pleased to report that spiraling national increases have not affected our Plan premiums as greatly as other plans around the country. While there are some geographic variations, the average premium increase of 5.7% for the UCC (Non-Medicare) Health Benefits Plan for 2010 is again below the average national rate increase. In the next several days we will be mailing specific rates for each Conference.
Across the United States, the costs of medical care and levels of discounts available from participating providers differ. As a result, premiums are not uniform throughout all UCC Conferences, nor are they exactly the same for single or family coverage. However, the average is lower than industry trends primarily because, as a group, we have good health experience, are using more in-network medical providers and, whenever available, are saving money by using generic medicines. While this may not sound important on an individual basis, it has a significant impact on a plan-wide basis.
Three new benefit enhancements become effective on January 1, 2010:
A variety of communications are planned to inform Plan participants about the above enhancements.
Please note the following for the 2010 Plan Year:
We hope that our ongoing communications answer the many questions that are brought to you and your office each year. If not, please contact me directly at 800.642.6543, ext. 2806 or by e-mail at floiacono@pbucc.org.
Sincerely,
Frank Loiacono
Director, Health Plan Operations
