After this annual deductible has been met, the plan pays 80% of all eligible charges incurred outside the Student Health Center. The maximum amount payable per illness or injury is $20,000 with certain annual maximums applying to mental, psychoneurotic or personality disorders. Special Benefit Incentives The plan is designed to encourage you, the student, to use the Student Health Center as your primary medical provider. Benefits for eligible medical expenses incurred at the Health Center are significantly greater than benefits for care obtained elsewhere. It is not necessary to file a claim form for reimbursement. The Health Center will bill the insurance company directly. The PruPASS Feature PruPASS (Prudential Patient Advisory Support Service) reduces the stress in health care decisions by helping you avoid unnecessary surgery and hospitalization and providing you with valuable information about your health care plan. PruPASS is easy to use. All it takes is one toll-free telephone call whenever you are faced with hospitalization or surgery. Outstanding Service The Prudential has a longstanding commitment to providing service. These services include dedicated staffs, personalized attention, and state-of-the-art systems. Claims will be processed in Prudential's Denver Group Claim Office. Easy Enrollment Automatic enrollment with right of waiver will apply for all undergraduates enrolled for 9 or more semester hours. The deadline for the filing of a waiver form is September 2,1988. Brochures with full details are available at the Health Center along with enrollment forms for dependent coverage. Deadline for the fall enrollment/waiver period is SEPTEMBER 2, 1988!!!!! The Prudential Insurance & Other Financial Services
