Insurance Insights: Chiropractic Care by Anne Noble New for 2021 is the expansion of network options for chiropractic care. We recognized the limitations plan mem- bers have had that utilize chiropractic care and worked with Auxiant to come up with a way to simplify this type of health care. The Crest health plan will treat In and Out of Network Chiropractic claims the same. Our health plan continues to have a 12 visit per calendar year limit. Also new for 2021 is that chiropractic claims have a $25 co-pay. If you have already had chiropractic visits this calendar year, ask your chiropractor to submit the claims to our insurance. Please stop by the Payroll/Benefits Office to see Savannah or Anne if you have questions. What To Expect for Your First Therapy Session? by Ashley Koza, LCSW, EAP Counselor, Sinnissippi Centers Starting therapy can seem scary and overwhelming. Here is a look into what an initial session will look like. I ask a lot of questions to get to know my clients. Some of these questions may be “What do you do for work?”, “Tell me about your family”, “What do you do for fun or selfcare?” or “Have you been to therapy in the past?”. The most important questions I ask are “What brings you to therapy?” and “What are your goals”. Having an idea of your goals going into the first session will be helpful to get a head start on moving for- ward. Sometimes clients do not have goals and just need extra support and that is okay also. Most import to re- member, therapy is what you make it and your therapist will be there to support you moving forward. If you feel like counseling might benefit you, please call Ashley to set up an appointment: 815-732-3157
COVID Vaccines at Crest by Jeff Meiners To say that we are all weary of dealing the entire Covid pandemic would be a huge understatement. All of our lives, both work and home, have been impacted in a rather dramatic fashion. Crest employees received some good pandemic news when we all had the opportunity to receive vaccines at work in the months on February and March.
The fact that we were early in line as a group was the result of our classification as essential workers…and we cer tainly earned our spot in line for being at work and producing food for America’s grocery shelves throughout the entire process. The opportunity to have vaccines given at work was the result of a combined effort between Crest, KSB hospital and the Lee County Department of Health. Two hundred and seventy-five employees took advantage of this opportunity to very conveniently get vaccinated. Our HR group did a great job getting everything organized and our on-site health care staff of Ann, Heidi and Stephanie was responsive to our needs as they have been throughout the past year of pandemic related issues. As has been the case for the past twelve months, the future pertaining to how we react to this situation remains a little cloudy. We are certainly hopeful that the worst is behind us and are confident that the vaccines will play a large role in making that happen. Please be assured that Crest will be at the fore-front of reacting to whatever the situation may present us in months to come. A big thank you goes out to all who were instrumental in making this happen and to those who stepped up and were vaccinated. We all are looking forward to the day we can put this whole thing behind us!
