UVA TO CREATE HEALTH-CARE PLAN FOR CENTRAL VA.

The University of Virginia Health Sciences Center hopes to form a private health-insurance network that would be available to university employees and other companies in central Virginia.

The plan must be approved by Virginia's Board of Visitors and the university Health Services Foundation before area companies can sign up for the service.

The plan will be submitted to the boards in February and could be in place as early as July, Virginia administrators said.

The network would be run by a private company loosely associated with Virginia. Participants would include the rural areas around Charlottesville as well as Harrisonburg and Lynchburg. - Associated Press
