RON SHAFER CHEVROLET City workers get insurance outline Anniston city employes met with City Finance Director James Simpkins Monday afternoon at City Hall and outlined a plan to retain Blue Cross Hospital Insurance coverage.

The plan will be presented to Anniston City Council tonight. Even though the city that Liberty National Insurance Company had underbid Blue Cross. employes said they would rather pay the higher deductible fee in order to make keeping Blue Cross financially feasible. Presently. employes are required to pay a $25 deductible for medical expenses.

But in the plan suggested by employes. a $50 deductible fee will be required. Liberty National will pay a maximum of $500 for any surgery. according Simpkins. Under the present plan.

Anniston employes pay approximately $30 per month for family coverage. The city adds another $15 to pay the premiums. Simpkins said with the additional $25 deductible fee that the employes are willing to pay. hopefully Blue Cross will accept the plan without an increase in the monthly premiums. BEFORE THE employees agreed to pay additional deductible fees.

the city would have had to increase their portion of the monthly premiums approximately $3. Simpkins said the only reason other bids were taken for insurance coverage was because the costs to the city had increased without actually increasing the services. Simpkins said today that employes complained that under coverage proposed by Liberty National the insurance would only pay a maximum of $45 per day for a semiprivate hospital room. In the new Blue Cross plan. like the old one.

hospital room fees would be paid up to what the company considered a reasonable rate which could -surpass the day. Another Liberty National benefit criticized by the employes was the coverage offered in the way of hospital expenses such as special care and medicines. LIBERTY NATIONAL, according to Simpkins. pays 100 per cent of the first $1.000 hospital bill. After that amount.

the hospital bill is partly paid by the insurance and the remaining costs by the patient. Unchanged. the new Blue Cross plan would continue to pay any amount of the hospital bill which they considered to be reasonable. Simpkins explained that in some cases this could mean Blue Cross would pay the entire hospital bill. Because Blue Cross has changed its policy, the surgery schedule plan is not included in the reasonable cost clause.

Before the old Blue Cross plans under which City employes were covered paid all surgical expenses considered reasonable. No specific maximum was set. But. Simpkins. said Blue Cross no longer offers this reasonable cost clause for surgical costs.

In the past Simpkins said. "If the doctor charged $700 for surgery and Blue Cross felt it was reasonable, they would pay, but now they have a schedule which gives a maximum." The new plan calls for a maximum of $455 or $600 for surgery costs.
