Student Health Insurance Fees for Chicago, Urbana, and Springfield Campuses, Fiscal Year 1997

(11) The chancellors at each campus have recommended student fee levels for Fiscal Year 1997 to support student health insurance programs. The health program coverages are established in consultation with students. The resulting fees required to support the programs are reviewed by the appropriate fee advisory groups at each campus. Students are exempted from these programs if they can provide evidence of comparable coverage from other sources. At the Urbana campus, commercial insurance is provided under a program from Blue Cross/Blue Shield. Due to favorable utilization rates this year, the program coverage has been slightly improved without any premium increase. At the Springfield campus, commercial insurance is provided under a program from Commercial Union Insurance Company. An increase in premium is recommended to support increases in health care costs and higher student utilization rates. At the Chicago campus, the UIHMO supports the student plan. An increase is recommended to support increases in health care costs and to further eliminate prior year subsidies of the program which have occurred through underpricing the plan to students. The recommended rates1 are as follows: Proposed, Percent FY 1996 FY 1997 Increase Chicago $174 $206 18.4 Urbana-Champaign 126 126 — Springfield 110 122 10.9 The vice president for business and finance concurs with the recommended fee levels. I recommend approval.

On motion of Ms. Reese, these recommendations were approved. Student Fees for Urbana-Champaign Campus, Fiscal Year 1997
