With the Open Enrollment period upon us, we thought this would be the ideal time to offer members an informative explanation of the University Self-Insured Plans, how rates are determined, and how (and why) our Employee Health Plans are negotiated separately from contract negotiations.
UMPSA President Neil Greenberg has produced an informative video that may help answer your questions, dispel rumors, and provide a user-friendly explanation of the confusing world of our healthcare plan.
Neil has served on the Systemwide Employee Health Plan Task Force (EHPTF) for more than a decade — working on your behalf with the System Benefits Office, CIGNA, Union leaders, and the UMaine System health plan consultant. He knows the details inside and out.
