The Health Plan Task Force hopes that these pages will provide useful information to University employees making decisions about which health plan to choose during open enrollment this fall.

How are University Employees Affected by Health Plan Payments to Physicians?

This report was written in 1998 by Matt Maciejewski, a Research Assistant in the School of Public Health. It analyses how the health plan companies reimburse physicians and compares the methods used in the various plans available to state and university employees.

Message Board

The Health Plan Task Force is providing this message board with two objectives in mind.

1. The forum provides a vehicle for University employees to exchange information about health benefit issues.
2. The forum provides a mechanism for University employees to communicate their ideas and concerns to the task force.

The task force will monitor the messages posted to this forum and will use them to help formulate the issues facing University employees. You should be aware that the messages posted here can be read by the public. If you would like to communicate directly to the committee without having your message posted to the public, you can send your message by email to healthforum@geom.umn.edu.
