CALIFORNIA 92406 Sept. 9,1985 Mayor & Common Council 300 No D St. San Bernardino, CA Honorable Mayor & Common Council: I am writing to you in reference to problems that have been recently encountered with the City self-insured Blue Cross Health Insurance. The first problem to come to my attention was the omittance of the $300.00 payment for Diagnostic X-ray and Lab and the $500.00 payment for Accidental coverage. These two benefits were withdrawn from the policy without my knowledge and have been costly to some of our members in the past year. In the blue book issued to employees covered by the Self-Insured plan dated January 1, 1980 you will see that these two benefits are still intact. Sometime in 1984 we supposedly lost these two benefits without my knowledge of how this happened. The other and most serious problem is the policy of dropping the insurance on t~e widow of recently deceased retirees. When the Firefighter grqup came in with the City in 1978 we brought wi th us three widows of deceased reti rees who are sti 11. under the self-insured plan. It was our intention then and is now to allow deceased retiree spouses to stay in the plan. At a time in their lives when they may need insurance the most it is very upsetting to notify them that they must convert to an individual policy to retain insurance. This individual policy may be more than the individual can afford. I would be more than happy to meet with anyone who may have questions and do hope that this issue can be cleared up as quickly as possible. cc: City Administrator Personnel Director 1incer~~.
