DCSMEC NEWS

For the first time ever DCSMEC will allow you to bring your spouse to the meeting, this is for members only. The presentation is oriented to teach your spouse about our insurance plans and how to maximize benefits. 

In 2022, DCSMEC brought back the “Year of Knowledge”. In 2025, DCSMEC continues the “Year of Knowledge” with our first presentation for understanding your health insurance needs, options and rights. Specifically, we will cover the following: how to best maximize your insurance needs, how to select the best doctors available for your individual needs, and how they are selected by your insurance plan. We will also discuss short term & long term disability, and what insurance plan is the best for your family, the importance of assigning beneficiaries. DCSMEC receives an infinite number of calls every month related to insurance coverage. This is your opportunity to get acquainted with the options available to you and your family.

The presentation will be delivered by Rosa Novo (RISK BENEFITS MANAGEMENT). She is the head of Insurance for all of M-DCPS and a very distinguished healthcare professional who is nationally recognized as a leader in her field. All stewards need to acquire knowledge on the subject in order to provide our membership with correct and concise information. We will also provide free gifts and prizes courtesy of our insurance providers. We urge all members to participate and bring your spouse, however, we highly urge our newest members who have dependent’s.

Seating is limited, so if you wish to participate you must reserve your seat in advance. To reserve and participate in the insurance seminar, please call 305-477-6002 and provide your name, employee number, a call back number and say you want to participate in the insurance seminar. Someone will call you back to confirm your reservation, or email us at (DCSMECBA@gmail.com) with all your information.

The insurance seminar will be on January 27, 2025 start time 4:30 P.M. After the presentation we will have a question and answer session to address any concerns you may have. The seminar will be held at DCSMEC HALL located at 8250 NW 27 Street (Suit 308) Doral, Fl. 33122. We look forward to seeing you on Monday, January 27, 2025.
