Reported that employees
going to the doctor should take control.
Explained about the spinal manipulation coverage he has been
investigating. We now have chiropractor
coverage, but if the member breaks down the wall and lets the benefit rep. to
talk to the doctor, instead of having just six visits at the chiropractor, we
can talk to the
doctor’s office and if they go to a DO, we can get them up to 100
office visits.
Reported on ISP. Now the corporation is ready to give the new hires their ISP. But due to a clause in the contract, when
they are laid off they are still covered by S and A and
extended disability and before they give up their ISP, I want to make sure they
keep that coverage.
