  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.

  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).
