As a former Benefits Administrator I say go for it.

Honestly, we hear so many details about different conditions we don't give it a second thought- it does not affect how they will looks at you or anything else.

My only advice is that you need to make sure you have your letter addressed to the correct person in your company. You'll want to send it to both the VP of HR (or your highest HR person, whatever the title) and you Benefits Manager or Administrator.

As you make the suggestion you could also suggest that they consider a base/buy-up plan where employees who choose the buy-up plan would include IF coverage. This covers them from having too much more expense in their medical costs, and gives employees the option of having better coverage. Your cvosts for the buy-up plan should still save yu significant cost simply by having the IF covered.

Good luck and feel free to PM me if you have any other specific questions about employee benefits.
