Cancer Plan Update
A rate increase for the Cash Benefit
Cancer plan (CANB) is being implemented effective 5/1/99 in the following states:
Alaska, Arkansas,
District of Columbia,
Idaho, Illinois, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska,
Nevada, New Hampshire,
New Mexico, Ohio,
Tennessee, Texas, Vermont
and Wisconsin.
The increase will be approximately $1 per month per $10,000
coverage and will not be applied unless the policyholder has had the policy for at least
one year. Therefore, many policyholders wont receive such a notice until their
anniversary date. New business applications written prior to 5/1, wont receive an
increase until their first year anniversary date.
A special mailing explaining the increase has been sent to
Agents and will include a special rate card to be inserted into CANB brochures until
brochures can be reprinted. No applications can be processed with old rates if written
5/1/99, or later, or if received in the Home Office after 5/15/99. |
