2, Parents Associated Medical Assurance. (PAMA)
a. Reference (b) announced a plan to provide hospitalization and
surgical insurance coverage to eligible parents or step-parents and
parents-in-law, contingent upon the enrollment of 1000 parents during
the initial enrollment period.
b. We request that all personnel who
applied for PAMA, be advised that more than 1000 parents were enrolled,
hence the program is in effect. If an individual authorized payroll
deductions for PAMA, these deductions are being made and forwarded to
the Insurance Branch.
3. Emergency Travel Plan. The Emergency Travel Plan coverage described in the
booklet, "Association Insurance Programs", dated 31 March 1960 has been expanded to
include round-trip travel from any location in the world to points anywhere else in
the world for emergencies that involve named persons in the application.
a. This concept recognizes that emergencies may occur which
affect the employee or the employee's immediate family who are at
the post with him. The employee can purchase Emergency Travel
Insurance and name himself and/or the other family members with
him at the post to provide for the contingency of emergency travel
which may not qualify for payment by the Government. For example, the
employee may become critically ill and be evacuated to our country or
to Government medical facilities at an intermediate location. Normally
his travel expenses would qualify for payment under
however, the employee's wife would have to assume the travel cost as a
personal expense if she wished to be with her husband unless she quali-
fied as an attendant, Under the provisions of the Emergency Travel Plan.
if the employee is the first named he can designate his spouse as the
person to make the trip. In the event he becomes critically ill and
must be evacuated, his wife, relying on the insurance coverage, can
accompany him. A similar use can be made of the Emergency Travel
Plan if the emergency involves the family members at the post with
the employee. By naming these family members and paying the
additional premium, the employee can be assured of payment of
travel expenses if he wishes to accompany a critically ill family
member.
b. The premium rates for the emergency travel plan are as
follows:
Age of Named Person
First Named Person
Each Additional Person
0 through 49
$32.00
$13.00
50 through 64
$40.00
$21.00
65 through 69
$50.00
$31.00
70 through 75
(renewals only)
$65.00
$46.00
c. The "Important Instructions" listed on page 33 of the
Association Insurance Programs Booklet must be followed to be
assured that the application will be promptly approved.
