SUBJECT:          HEALTHCARE RENEWAL

 

 

The HealthCare Advisory Committee has been discussing current and future plans for Lawrence University’s healthcare plan for several months.  We have received a lot of feedback about the current vendor and plan.  Based on the feedback and coupled with an extensive review of options, a new health plan vendor has been selected to administer Lawrence University’s health plan. 

 

This vendor is Fiserv Health formerly known as Wausau Benefits.  As you may guess, Fiserv Health is located in Wausau, WI.  In addition, we have partnered with a care coordination and patient advocacy firm called Coordinated Health Care located in Columbus, Ohio.  During our journey in selecting the right partner to administer Lawrence University’s health plan, we have received extremely good reviews on both organizations.  We feel this partnership will allow us to enhance the customer service and benefits provided by Lawrence University.  The change to this program will occur on July 1, 2007.

We strongly recommend that you attend one of the meetings listed below, so you can gain firsthand knowledge on how the new program will work (spouses are welcome).  Sign-up is NOT required.  The meetings will be located in the Barber Room at Jason Downer Commons as follows:
