We have identified an error in the printed contract. The error involves Dental Benefits on page (40). There is a reference to preventive and diagnostic care that states that this type of care IS NOT included in your $75.00 deductible. That information is incorrect. That language was changed in January, 2004. The correct language should read that diagnostic and preventive maintenance IS included in your deductible.

Here is the language as it appears in our current contract document:

A deductible amount of $75 per employee and up to $225 per family shall be applied, per calendar year, for dental care other than preventive and diagnostic services. (Pg-40)

Here is the corrected language as it should appear in our current contract document:

Effective January 1, 2004 a deductible amount of $75 per employee and up to $225 per family shall be applied, per calendar year, for dental care including preventive and diagnostic services.

Although we proofed this document several times, we failed to pick-up the error. Note that as of March 1, 2008, we have agreed to re-instate the correct language.

Thank you for your understanding.

Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

For any of you planning ahead, Friday, July 4th will be a holiday. Thursday, July 3rd will be our flex day off that week. Summer classes will be in session on July 3rd, so some employees may be required to work to support the classes. Any employee asked to work on July 3rd will be given an alternate flex day off.
