Greetings Tribal community members: I would like to introduce myself – my name is Starla Brown (photo right) and I am the new patient benefits coordinator for the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians. I have worked with the Oregon Health Plan (OHP) for the last seven years. My training started with the Coquille Tribe in 2011. I also worked with the Confed- erated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua & Siuslaw Indians for a few years and now I have the opportunity to assist Siletz Tribal members. I bring with me knowledge of all aspects of patient accounts and patient benefits. I have worked the full circle, from initial encounter to picking which plan you would like to sign up for on the marketplace to billing and paying bills in Purchased/Referred Care (PRC), formerly Contract Health Services (CHS). I encourage you to contact me with any questions or concerns; if they are beyond my scope, I will surely find you an answer. Failure to apply for an alter- native resource such as OHP or submit an insurance card if you carry private insurance may render you ineligible for Purchased/Referred Care. CTSI Jobs Tribal employment information is available at ctsi.nsn.us. Note: “Open Until Filled” vacan- cies may close at any time. The Tribe’s Indian Prefeence policy will apply. Tribal government will not discriminate in selection because of race, creed, age, sex, color, national origin, physical handicap, marital status, politics, membership or non-membership in an employee orgnization.
