Affected resources that Middlebury subscribes to:
Middlebury College’s Health Plan has a “Coordination of Benefits” provision that requires CBA Blue to maintain information on file regarding other insurance coverage you or your dependents may have. Annually CBA Blue sends out a Coordination of Benefits form that all enrolled employees must complete to ensure proper processing of your health insurance claims. You should receive the form from CBA Blue within the next few days. Please be sure to complete it and return it to them as instructed. This form is required for all enrolled employees (even if you and your dependents do not have other insurance). This information is necessary for proper processing of your claims in a timely manner. Failure to provide accurate information on other coverage may result in serious financial consequences.
You may be thinking about employing a Middlebury College student to work in your department this summer. What a great opportunity for both you and the student! The student can learn important skills (or enhance those they already have) that they will use throughout their life – customer service, time management, conflict resolution, verbal and written communication skills, and so on.
The Student Employment Office Web page has been updated to reflect this summer’s procedures and policies http://www.middlebury.edu/offices/business/seo/summer.
Please familiarize yourself with these policies so you are well informed and can provide information to the student(s) you hire.
