Access the Care You Need!
One of the highlights of being a member of the Christian Brothers Employee Benefit Trust is that you have freedom of choice every time you receive care. This article will take a look at various ways you can access your benefits.

Summer Safety Quiz
Are you prepared for the hidden dangers of summertime that can be found lurking anywhere from a family BBQ in the park to your local swimming hole? Test your knowledge of summer safety with the following 10 summer safety questions. Good Luck!

Wonderful Watermelon
No other fruit shouts “summer’s here!” like the watermelon. As a member of the Cucurbitaceae family, the watermelon is related to the cantaloupe, squash and pumpkin, other plants that also grow on vines on the ground. Watermelon is not only great on a hot summer day, but this thirst-quencher may also help quench the inflammation that contributes to conditions like asthma, atherosclerosis, diabetes, colon cancer, and arthritis.

Fight Colon Cancer Now!
Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States, accounting for about 20 percent of all cancer deaths. This year alone, more than 131,000 Americans will be diagnosed with colon cancer, and 56,000 will die from it. Colon cancer is also one of the most curable types of cancer if it is diagnosed early. When detected at its earliest stages, chances for a cure are as high as 90 percent.

How to Appeal a Medical Claim
As a Christian Brothers Employee Benefit Trust member, we want you to be satisfied with the service you receive. If for any reason you are not, you are entitled to file a complaint with customer service, whether it relates to care, service, or a decision of the health plan.
