Subject: A tale of two stories?????? Which is it..."routinely mailed" or "hand delivery?"

This quote re. Medical Mutual's lost disks comes to us courtesy of www.marketwatch.com: http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/Ohio-Health-Insurer-Investigates-Missing/story.aspx?guid=%7B1986D81E-510B-45F6-BAC0-1B1299A3C4E2%7D "Medical Mutual said it was notified by the retiree systems when the disks failed to arrive at their Columbus offices. The disks were contained in packages routinely mailed monthly by Medical Mutual for claims reconciliation purposes to the affected parties' central offices in Columbus from the health insurer's Columbus offices."

and...this story comes to us courtesy of the OFT newsletter:

http://oh.aft.org/index.cfm?action=article&articleID=33127d79-24f0-47a0-bfb2-42924181aaf3 "Medical Mutual said it was notified by the retiree systems when the disks failed to arrive at their Columbus offices. Although Medical Mutual’s release indicated that the disks were contained in packages routinely mailed monthly to the affected parties’ central offices in Columbus, STRS officials said prior to this month such disks were received by hand delivery. The information is provided to the retirement systems for claims reconciliation purposes."

Methinks that someone is stretching the truth!
