What's Happening

AMMP scholarships
Members of the Association of Multicultural Members of Partners (AMMP) are eligible to apply for scholarships to assist in the pursuit of degrees and other relevant training. Current employees of the MGH, Partners HealthCare and Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital are eligible to apply. The application deadline is June 8.

cvegabarachowitz@partners.org or visit www2.massgeneral.org/ammp.

New Delta Dental ID cards
Next month, Delta Dental will mail plan participants new ID cards featuring a system-generated ID in place of a Social Security number. This change will help ensure the security and privacy of membership information. Some cards may reflect a more current name for the subscriber's Delta Dental plan if the plan's name has changed during the past year, but all benefits will remain the same. New ID cards will be sent to the subscriber and covered family members, if applicable. New cards can be used immediately once they are received and old ID cards should be discarded. Subscribers should show their new card to their dentist so records can be updated with the new subscriber ID number. Plan participants who already have a card with an alternate, non-Social Security number will not receive a new card. For more information, call (800) 872-0500.
