Substantially increased benefits un
der the Hospital, Surgical and Medical
Insurance Plan at Fieldcrest’s southern
plants were announced last week to
become effective Monday, April 1.
The improvements are for the pur
pose of keeping the plan up-to-date in
view of the continually rising costs of
hospital, surgical and medical care and
provide greater protection for em
ployees and their dependents.
The hospital room allowance was in
creased from $15 a day to $25 a day for
a maximum of 70 day®. Hospital extras
continue on the basis of $150 plus 75%
of the balance up to $1,000.
The maximum surgical benefit was
raised from $200 to $300 and the anes
thesia allowance was raised from $40
to $60, maximum. The maternity bene
fit and the obstetrical benefit were in
creased from $75 to $100 for each. The
allowance for in-hospital medical ex
pense (doctor’s visits) was raised from
$3.00 per day and a $150 maximum to
$4.00 per day and a maximum of $280.
An important improvement for par
ents with sons or daughters in college
was a change in eligibility for depend
ents. Under the revised plan, full-time
students up to age 23 are allowed as
dependents!, whereas the former plan
covered them to age 19.
Other Fieldcrest insurance coverages
such as group life, accidental death and
dismemberment, dependent life, acci
dent and health, supplemental accident
benefit, outpatient diagnostic procedure,
etc., continue as before.
Employees who were currently in
sured under the group insurance pro
gram automatically became insured un
der the revised plan effective April 1.
Those not presently insured, but who
