I further ask that a letter of (Termination of Insurance Benefit) be issued and that the premium paid in April 2008 for the coverage period of July, August, and September be (?discounted?) I am willing to pay NNEBT a reasonable penalty for this privilege. I understand that if this request is granted, I forfeit and waive any future insurance claims to NNEBT after the cancellation of insurance coverage for the year 2008. Charles J. Cotnoir Member - Teamsters Local 59, since (? May 1999?) Jo Ann Murphy, Notary Board of Trustees Northern New England Benefit Trust Gentlemen, Thank you for allowing me to present my case to you. My name is Chuck Cotnoir and I have Prostate Cancer. I am trying to get it cured. MY HEALTH SITUATION: After looking at all the options, - Surgically removing the prostate (probable results of Impotence and Incontinence), Radiation Seeding (eventually the prostate turns to mush), and Proton Beam Therapy, (no side effects), I chose Proton Beam Therapy, a highly focused beam of radiation that accurately targets just the cancer cells. I want to go to Loma Linda University Medical Center in Loma Linda, California to have this procedure done. Loma Linda University is the originator of this procedure and is the world’s leading facility for these procedures, having treated over 12,000 patients. Even more favorable for me, is that 60% of their Proton Beam treatments are for Prostate Cancer. I have been accepted at Loma Linda Medical Center for Proton Beam Treatment. MY INSURANCE SITUATION: I have three health insurance plans and am a VA disabled veteran. I have Tricare for life (military health insurance), Medicare, and Network Blue from NNEBT. Tricare and Medicare are secondary payors. MY DELEMMA: My NNEBT Health plan does not cover out of network claims (Loma Linda in California). According to the Loma Linda insurance department, my Medicare and Tricare for Life health plans will cover the cost of the Proton Beam Therapy. Over the last three months, Brenda Albin and Caroline Levigne have been patiently helping me explore the various options that are available to me under NNEBT’s plan and at, the same time, trying to help me find a way to go to Loma Linda. They are to be commended for their fine work. The situation comes down to this. According to Loma Linda’s insurance department, I can get the treatment at Loma Linda, but only if I can use my Medicare and Tricare for Life health plans. In order for this to happen, NNEBT’s insurance plan has to be cancelled and a letter of Termination of Coverage has to be issued by NNEBT and submitted to Loma Linda. As we have discovered over the past three months,  EX< B D ] b d n б п с і ќ ] g Œ Й Э г   ) , 1 = > Ѕ к ї ј \ ] ^ ќяхяхялЭМЋЭяžžяляžяƒяƒяrяnjfnjbfjfjfhtіhQРh”Qhіє!hR>yhієB*OJQJ^JphџhR>yOJQJ^J!hR>yhR>yB*OJQJ^JphџhR>yhR>yOJQJ^J!h{j†hієB*OJQJ^Jphџ!h{j†hŒU…B*OJQJ^Jphџh{j†B*OJQJ^JphџhŒU…OJQJ^Jh”QOJQJ^JhR>yhієOJQJ^JhR>y%!DEYZЬ Э р   ) * + , > a b m Є Ѕ ј љ  ] ^ їѕѕѕѕѕѕѕѕѕѕѕысѕѕѕѕѕѕѕѕѕѕѕѕ &dPЦџ &d PЦџ $a$gdR>yЃў^ ƒ “ š   Ё Ф,ЉБЩєѕ;VXZьэ–Љ +,\МНЦYnopЃќјєќјќј№јє№є№є№ь№ь№ьшфшьшрфрмрмишфиhKhh Xh?@Йhlhі+ЪhKЛhn^Џh hЎ9уhen#^ ФХ,ѕіьэ  opЃ§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§&1h:pn^ЏАа/ Ар=!Аа"Аа#а$а%Аœ@@ёџ@ NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH DAђџЁD Default Paragraph FontRiѓџГR  Table Normalі4ж l4жaі (kєџС(No ListЃ џџџџ!DEYZЬЭр)*+,>abmЄЅјљ]^ФХ,ѕіьэ o p Ѕ ˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€p˜0€€˜0€€p˜0€€˜0€€p˜0€€ˆ˜0€€˜0€€p˜0€€p˜0€€p˜0€€ €˜0€€ˆ˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€€˜0€€p˜0€€˜0€€p˜0€€€˜0€€€˜0€€ €˜0€€˜0€€ €˜0€€ˆ˜0€€ˆ˜0€€ €˜0€€˜0€€ˆ˜0€€ˆ˜0€€ €˜0€€˜0€€p˜0€€˜0€€p˜0€€˜0€€p˜0€€˜0€€p˜0€€^ Ѓ ^ Ѓ Ѓ џџќуAœ{ќ§уA{ќўуALЌџуAŒyќфAЌфAДЌфAŒфA c!фA фAdj!фAdg!фAЬk!фAќe! фADp! фAtm! фA”t! фAмn! фAŒa!фA$бёфA,­ђфAЬЌфAє ЌфA|Ќ!>nnsy„Œ––ЂЪЪЯеннтш№KKЅ      5Rrxƒ‹’’ ЌЌЮдппсчяііUUЅ    9 *€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags€State€8 *€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags€City€=*€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags €PlaceType€=*€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags €PlaceName€8*€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags€date€9*€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags€place€ €2008€22€3€Day€Month€Year  BNипЖНu|ЪбэѓœЃ  # * … Œ Љ А х ь Ѕ #трЅ 3!EZЭ),>,ЪѕЅ BNЅ џџValued CustomerхN lKh XenR>yŒU…{j†”Qn^Џ?@ЙKЛQРі+ЪЎ9уієtіџ@€BB ”aaBBЃ А@џџUnknownџџџџџџџџџџџџG‡z €џTimes New Roman5€Symbol3& ‡z €џArial?5 ‡z €џCourier New"qˆ№аh†ВУЦюВУЦ dМч Мч !№ааДД24ž ž 3ƒ№H)№џ?фџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџієџџMarch 22, 2008Valued CustomerValued Customerўџр…ŸђљOhЋ‘+'Гй0€˜АМдрьќ   < H T`hpxфMarch 22, 2008arcValued CustomeralualuNormalCValued Customer13uMicrosoft Word 10.0@XGј @<=.ŒШ@”I5<ŒШМч ўџеЭеœ.“—+,љЎ0ј hp|„Œ” œЄЌД М зф ž A March 22, 2008 Title ўџџџўџџџ ўџџџ"#$%&'(ўџџџ*+,-./0ўџџџ§џџџ3ўџџџўџџџўџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџRoot Entryџџџџџџџџ РFАЖЮP<ŒШ5€Data џџџџџџџџџџџџ1TableџџџџюWordDocumentџџџџ(SummaryInformation(џџџџџџџџџџџџ!DocumentSummaryInformation8џџџџџџџџ)CompObjџџџџџџџџџџџџjџџџџџџџџџџџџўџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџўџ џџџџ РFMicrosoft Word Document MSWordDocWord.Document.8є9Вq
