6 GPSC HI Committee: 2007-2008 Vision Statement: The committee envisions all Duke students, their families, and their dependents with access to the health care needed in a timely fashion at the lowest possible cost.

7 Mission Statement It is the goal of the committee to be transparent in its efforts to ensure that: No student is without quality health insurance; Desired benefits are provided at the least possible cost*; Students have access to a strong, effective network of providers; The insurance plan takes advantage of Duke’s resources while also enabling students to be autonomous in their health care decisions; As much of the premium or fund contributions as possible will be returned to the covered individuals in the form of benefits*; * Taken from the American College Health Association, “Standards for Student Health Insurance/Benefits Programs,” available at: http://www.acha.org/info_resources/stu_health_ins.pdf. http://www.acha.org/info_resources/stu_health_ins.pdf

8 Mission Statement It is the goal of the committee to be transparent in its efforts to ensure that: The total health of the student will be provided for, including mental health; Resources available to assist students in making good health care decisions will be continually improved; The administration of the student health insurance plan will be done in a culturally competent manner that is sensitive to students’ national, religious, and ethnic preferences with regards to health care and to respond to the unique health needs of students; Both the student health insurance administration and the student health center will try whenever possible to offer preventative care before normal treatment would be required; Those we work with to provide these services offer the same level of transparency to the student body (the student body is consulted in decisions where possible).
