May 2002 – Will Wesleyan assist faculty, staff, or graduate students who incur unanticipated out-of-pocket medical expenses as a result of this change?
Very few participants might incur additional medical expenses as a result of the loss of in-network providers or due to unavoidable changes in coverage. Those participants might currently be in a POS plan, or might transfer from an HMO to CIGNA POS. If participants incur additional POS plan out-of-pocket expenses between August 1, 2002 and December 31, 2002, as a result of the change to CIGNA administered plans, the university will reimburse them for those expenses.
