Pre-paid legal service plan
available to members
Tribal members now have access to a new legal service plan through Pre
paid Legal Services, Inc. (PPLSI). PPLSI is a large national company and can
provide a large comprehensive range of legal services to members regardless
of where they reside.
Membership participation is on a voluntary self-pay basis. The cost of this
valuable service is only $14.95 per month per head of household. Household
coverage will include head of household, spouse, and dependent children.
This will cover non-member spouses and children as well. The service plan is
comprehensive including help with existing conditions. Just like auto insur
ance or life insurance, you never know when you will need legal services. A
Pre-Paid Legal Plan is affordable peace of mind.
For more information call: Andy Jenness, Independent Associate, at 1-888-740-7150.

Dear tribal members:
I have recently accepted a new po
sition as a Billing Specialist. I just
wanted to say thank you to all of you
that I have had the opportunity to
work with and help. It was a joy to
work in Contract Health and I will
miss all of you. It was time to move
on to a different position, to better
myself. I hope to still hear from all
of you, and even meet some of you
in person if I haven't already. I am
still helping out in Contract Health a
little until my position is filled, so you
will still find my name on the voice
tree. If you have questions or need
authorization, please call Penny
DeLoe at 879-201 1 . Thank you again
and have a great day!
Julie Little, Billing Specialist
