on "Using an Autoimmune Disease to Inform Immunotherapy,"

In the Mail: Health Plan Cards for 2004
New health plan cards are being mailed to employees'
homes early this month. Last year, Human Resources started
using six-digit Scripps Research ID numbers in place of Social
Security numbers for processing prescription claims. This
year, the ID numbers can also be used for medical, vision,
and mental health claims. The dental plan will continue to
use Social Security numbers for processing claims, but may
begin to use ID numbers in 2005. Employees should discard
their old cards and replace them with the new cards immediately
as the back of the new card contains new claim submittal instructions.
Employees should keep their health plan card with them at
all times. For more information, please contact Benefits,
x4-8487 or benefits@scripps.edu.
Institutional Biosafety Committee Meeting Scheduled
The next meeting of the Institutional Biosafety Committee
will be held on Wednesday, January 14, 2004 in the Tennis
Court Room of the Faculty Club, Building 3300 at 2:30 P.M.
