Show premium rates for health insurance rates for the high six largest plans the of option participating in the Federal Employees Health Benefits program were announced today by the Civil Service Commission. The new rates will lecome effective in January 1972. THE NEW premiums have been held to an alisohite miniPremium mum, the Commission said. While premiums generally will be higher in 1972, a few plans, including the Government-wid- e Indemnity Benefit Plan (Aetna) will le the same in 1972 as in 1971. As announced, previously benefits will not be changed in 1972. An open season will lie held from November 15 through December 31, 1971, during which employees may enroll in a plan or change plans and options and change from self to family coverage; annuitants may change plans and coverage but may not newly enroll in a plan. THE STANDARD Government contribution to health insurance premiums is fixed by law at 40 per cent of the average high-optio- n six largest premium of the plans. Since this av- y erage biweekly premium for coverage will lie increased in January from $8.63 to $9.75, self-onl- the Government's standard contribution will he increased from $3.46 to $3.90 biweekly; and since the average premium for family coverage will be increased from $21.60 to $24.46 biweekly, the Government's standard contribution will be increased from $8.64 to $9.78 for a family enrollment. Thus for employees in some plans whose premiums are not being raised, the higher Government contribution will result in a slightly smaller pay deduction in 1972 than in 1971. The Commission also said that there will lie two new plans in the program for 1972. One is the American Postal Workers Union Plan, which replaces the plans formerly sponsored by four unions that merged last July. Employees now enrolled in plans sponsored by the former United Federation of Postal Clerks, the National Postal Union, the National Association of Post Office and General Service Maintenance Employees, and the National Federation of Post Office Motor Vehicle Employees will lie transferred to the new American Postal Workers Union Plan. These transfers will le automatic unless the employee changes tu another plan during the open Total f'inn e. season. Dugway women hell pins in high-optio- ment contribution, is attached.
