- Dreyer Home Medical Equipment Showroom Update - Dreyer HMO patients who purchase their medical supplies from the Dreyer Home Medical Equipment (DHME) Showroom are no longer required to pay for their supplies at the time of purchase. DHME will request reimbursement from Blue Cross Blue Shield on their behalf.
- Blue Cross Blue Shield HMO Update - If you are a Blue Cross Blue Shield HMO patient and an unexpected medical situation arises, and your primary care physician is unavailable, you should visit a Dreyer Walk-In Care facility. Other immediate/urgent care facilities are not a covered benefit, and payment will become your (the patient’s) responsibility. If you are traveling outside of the area and an urgent medical situation occurs, you should visit the nearest Emergency Room.
- Fit Kids Program Now Available! - Dreyer Medical Clinic and the Kane County Health Department will be offering a series of eight classes to educate families on the health risks associated with childhood obesity.

- The classes are open to all Dreyer patients, and will begin on January 17, 2009.
