Provider Connections
At the 1199SEIU Benefit Funds, we value our partnership with you, our participating providers, to help ensure that our members can access quality healthcare. That is why we have made the move to an electronic version of the Provider Connections newsletter — to share important information with you on a more timely and user-friendly basis. We hope you like the new format, and we look forward to any comments or suggestions you may have.
