Hello to all:

Just wanted to say how much I have enjoyed working with you guys and gals over the years and to say goodbye.  Should you ever find yourself in the UK perhaps you can look me up. Joe and Rolando will have a contact number for me.  My last day will be August 2, 2013.

Cheerio!

Greetings members:

It was brought to our attention by a concerned DCSMEC member who after using Memorial Hospital Urgent Care centers was billed incorrectly.  The problem was reported to Cigna and corrected.  Should you experience any problems with a hospital bill or have any questions regarding your Cigna Insurance Plan to call Cigna directly at 1-800-806-3052 or call Risk Management at 305-995-7129 or 305-995-7130 and ask to speak to a Cigna Representative.

We thank the member for bringing this to our attention and for his concerns to his fellow colleagues.

Fraternally,

Rolando Sardinas
