We missed you! But we do have some takeaways for you anyway: the updated presentation, which includes some information about checking bills for lab overcharges and changes to NYSHIP, is up on the website. This Powerpoint also includes info on the ACA exchange and NYS Exchange open enrollment (starting now till Feb. 15!) and on services provided by the Wellness Center. I’ve attached it to this post, and it’s also in the “Navigating NYSHIP” section of the site. Remember to check out the “Navigating NYSHIP” section in general for more ways to avoid pitfalls and to find a student-recommended provider (though, of course, remember to double and triple check that these providers AND the office you see them at are both in-network).

Remember that you can take queries and concerns to Scott Voorhees of Student Affairs, who is our NYSHIP liaison (healthinsuranceinfo@gc.cuny.edu, 212-817-7406). Elise Perram, VP of Student Affairs, can also give you advice about signing up for ACA exchanges and provide useful informatiom about health insurance jargon (eperram@gc.cuny.edu; 212-817-7411)

I will work on making a Quicktime version of this Powerpoint so that there is a digitally available workshop.
