One goal of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde is to
provide quality health care and health insurance to Tribal
members. This goal is supported by access to care, quality of
care and the costs of providing care. The Tribe is committed
to addressing health care concerns, along with the continued
development of the current health care program. Currently,
the Tribe is in the process of reviewing the health care plan
for Tribal members to address these concerns and would like
your feedback.
Several Tribal member health plan meetings are scheduled
for May. The purpose of these meetings is to gather feedback
regarding your experience with UMR including claims sub
missions, access to doctors, pharmacy and prescription, as well
the overall process and health plan. This is your opportunity

what is working or not. Your participation would be valued
