• Cigna and Student Health Services

Several grad employees have reported having visits to Student Health Services treated as out-of-network by Cigna. OSU Human Resources have confirmed that Student Health Services is in-network and said that Cigna is reprocessing claims where Student Health Services was incorrectly treated as out-of-network. If you have this issue you can reach out to Cigna and they should be able to help. You can also reach out to us and OSU Human Resources.

• Bargaining Committee (meets Wednesday 11-1pm @WestM): Like everything else CGE does, the impact bargaining team is made up of members - that’s you! If you are interested in learning more about or even joining the Bargaining Committee please email vp_bargaining@cge6069.org with a non-OSU email indicating your interest. Anyone can attend bargaining committee meetings, even if you are not a member of the team. We are especially interested in making sure that we have representation from masters students, international students, humanities students, queer students, students of color, and any other group of students who face challenges that can be addressed through contract negotiations. No prior experience in research/negotiations is expected or required.
