NEW Benefit
NASCOE Travel
      BENEFITS                                                        by: Becky Zirpel        

    I would like to remind everyone that carries a Cancer policy with J. M. Marketing to take advantage of the wellness reimbursement.  This benefit pays $100
    each year for each covered person for one of the following cancer screening tests performed no matter what your other insurance covers:

    •        Bone Marrow Testing
    •        CA15-3 (blood test for breast Cancer)
    •        CA125 (blood test for ovarian cancer)
    •        CEA (blood test for colon cancer)
    •        Chest X-ray
    •        Colonoscopy
    •        Flexible sigmoidoscopy
    •        Hemocult stool analysis
    •        Mammography, including breast ultrasound
    •        Pap smear
    •        PSA
    •        Serum Protein Electrophoresis
    •        Biopsy for skin cancer

    If you have had any of these this last year make sure you fax a copy of your bill to J M Marketing to collect.  Mr. Mace reported that only a small percentage
    of people that have this insurance collect.  The number to fax to is 1-417-831-3066

      NEW BENEFIT UP AND RUNNING

    We have a new benefit for NASCOE!  It is our very own travel web site – check it out at www.nascoetravel.com .

    When you plan your next vacation or meeting and need to book flight tickets, car rental, motel accommodations you may do so through this site.  This site
    works just like travelocity, expedia, cheaptickets.com, individual airlines etc.  The difference is all travel web sites build in a 5% commission and they keep
    all of it.  This site will reimburse NASCOE on a monthly basis 40% of that 5% commission.  (EX: Ticket costs $500 X 5% X 40% = $10 that goes to NASCOE.)

    Members, non-members, family, friends (everyone) can use this site and we encourage you to use it.  I will be able to use the administrative end of it to
    collect data on how it is used and it is my understanding that we will be able to tract the activity by state and area.  

    This site is not quite complete, but should be in about 2 weeks. The part that is not complete is the little things, such as the logo on the web site, linking it to
    the NASCOE web site and the administrative part that I will be learning.  You can use it as it is and you will not notice any of those things on your part when
    booking your trip. I will soon be linking this site through our NASCOE web site for even more convenience to you.  

    I truly thank Kelly Lunsford from NM for all her information and help in accomplishing this.  Kelly started working on this and gathering information last year
    while she was the SWA Benefits Chairperson and has continued to help me to have it up and running.  Thanks Kelly!  

    An additional benefit of this site is we have our very own agent to contact through YTB Company, which is the source of this site.  They also offer special
    services for group bookings, but I need to learn a little more on that before I explain how it will work.

    So please check it out and please make sure you book your next ticket through www.nascoetravel.com
