[OEBBBUSMAN] OEBB -- Thank you & reminder (MIT survey)

[Business Managers-OEBB]

Dear OEBB-Participating Entity Superintendents and Business Managers:

 

Thank you to everyone who has already responded to the MIT survey
request (see below). This is just a courtesy reminder to those who
intend to participate but have not yet submitted your information.
Including as many entities as possible will help ensure the research
results most accurately represent the entire OEBB membership.

If you are able to participate, we would appreciate receiving your
information by close-of-business Wednesday, August 24, 2011. We
recognize this is a busy time of year and appreciate your taking the
time to participate.

Sincerely,

Subject: [OEBBBUSMAN] OEBB -- Request for assistance with valuable
project

Dear OEBB-Participating Entity Superintendents and Business Managers:

 

OEBB is working with researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT) to assess the choices of OEBB enrollees across the
various medical insurance options they are offered.  The results of this
study will be valuable in understanding how enrollees make their choices
and what OEBB can do to help employees decide which medical plan best
meets their and their families' needs.

 

In order to perform this assessment, we need to gather data on the
contributions that districts make to their employees' health insurance
options.  The purpose of this very brief survey is to gather that
information.  We are looking in particular to gather data on your
contributions over the 2008 through 2011 period that OEBB has been in
place.

 

Ideally, we would like to get a copy of the actual contract for each
employee group for each year identified that describes the entity's
insurance contribution policy.  You can mail or scan/email either the
entire contract, or just the page(s) that describe what the district
contributes toward insurance.  Scanned documents can be emailed to:  
OEBB.Board at state.or.us .  Or, you can send hard copies of the documents
to:  Denise Hall, Oregon Educators Benefit Board, 1225 Ferry Street SE,
Suite B, Salem, OR 97301-4278

 

However, if it is easier for you, or if you would prefer, you can simply
fill out the attached short survey for each employee group and email
your response(s) to: OEBB.Board at state.or.us 

 

If you have any questions regarding the information being requested in
the survey, you can email Jon Gruber at:  gruberj at MIT.EDU .  For
questions regarding OEBB's participation in the study, you can call
Denise Hall, OEBB deputy administrator, at 503-378-5133, or email Denise
at: denise.hall at state.or.us .

 

Thank you in advance for your assistance in gathering the information
necessary to complete this valuable assessment.

 

Sincerely,
