State Insurance Department approves a more flexible hospital and medical service plan with a $25 deductible option. Insurance Commissioner Thomas J. Gillooly says it offers coverage based on needs while not replacing non deductible plans. Plans in eight West Virginia cities including Charleston and Huntington now offer this option. Hospital Service Inc. says costs above the deductible must still be paid by the insured and Blue Cross plans may pay room costs. Hart notes the plan could lower some premiums and helps meet public demand.
