“There for me”

When Tiffany Ray started her new job at Hollenbeck Pest Control, she wasn’t sure what to expect from CDPHP, her new health plan. After years of working in local government with a large, nationally known insurance carrier, she had never heard of CDPHP. And, as someone who is proactive about her health and sees her doctors regularly, the transition made her uneasy.

That uncertainty became even heavier when Tiffany received news no one is ever prepared for: a breast cancer diagnosis.

“I was nervous about how everything would be handled,” she shared. “But from day one, CDPHP was phenomenal.
