Plan C for each incapacitated child increases from $130 to
$140.
Plan D - The amounts paid under Plan D for prescription
drugs represent about 50% of all costs under Plan D. Prescription
drug costs and their use continue to increase at a rate of about
20% each year with a similar trend expected for the next year. Due
to the continuing increase in these costs (including the cost for
medical services covered under Plan D), the monthly payment rate
for coverage will increase from $190 to $225.
Individuals participating in Plan D cannot change their
coverage to Plan F until the next open enrollment period in
December 2002.
Plan E - The monthly payment rate for Plan E will
increase from $103 to $120. This increase is due to recent
increases in overall claim activity under this plan.
Plan F - Plan F has benefits identical to Plan D except
that it does not cover prescription drugs. The monthly payment
rate for Plan F will increase from $102 to $110.
