Group Hospital Service
Is Contemplating
NeJU Aid Plan
JcontInued from f'rst pagel


and Blue Shield Plans.
These possible extensions of COW
erage would of course involve a
higher membership rate for those
who want it, The amount would
depend upon the extent of addi-
tiOnal cOverage actually offered.
Details have not yet been worked
out.
Group Hospital Service has de-
cided to experiment this year with
small segments of the membership
who may be interested in trying
out the new coverage. The agency
hopes, within the next year or two
to be able to offer all present and
future members a plan designed
to cover the catastrophe i'll
nesses, Mr.. Maybee said. Exploring
this possibility is one of the aims
for 1854.
Another is to maintain present
Blue Cross and Blue Shield rates
as long as possible. Mr.. Maybee
said that, in the absence of any
further increases in hospital costs.
Group Hospital Service hopes to
provide hOspital-surgical coverage
"at the same, or nearly the same,
rates throughout the year"
Both of these aims, he continued.
are part of the general objective
of bringing the people of Della
ware "the finest possible hospital
and surgical care at the lowest
possible cost"
Last year, Group Hospital Serv-
ice assisted more members than
ever before in financing the unex-
pected hazards of hospital and
medical care. Charts in the report
show the increase, from 1895
(when the Plan started) to 1853
in the number of members hospi-
talized and in the amount paid out
for those members. Last year the
Blue Cross Plan paid hospitals and
doctors $4,4O3,777 for members
care during the year.
