After receiving the University’s Letter to Graduate Student Employees on May 27, 2011, many of us had questions about what the proposed changes to the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) would mean for graduate employees.  We have recently come into possession of an additional memo from Donna Yezierski to UHS “Providers, Clinic Staff, PT, Specialty Clinic, Patient Services” which outlines the changes in greater detail than what was initially sent to GEO members.  We encourage you to read the new memo and to determine what these changes could mean for your personal healthcare expenses starting August 1, 2011.
