Therefore, The Gehring Group recommends that MCSD continue its vision coverage with CIGNA. The Vision Care program would utilize a network of doctors and provide a higher level of benefits for in -network services. However, switching the vision coverage at this time is not the best option for MCSD due to the cost associated with re -enrolling the entire raon-instructional employee papulation, in addition to the 82% rate increase proposed.
