Business Reporter Jennifer Miele has response from Trigon.

Jean, Trigon WAS Carilion's original partner.
Sources tell us Trigon wasn't happy with the new partnership offer, so no new discount agreement was worked out.
Without mentioning anything about the Carilion episode, Trigon said today it created three new health plans to help control costs.
(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=03-Roanoke;]
The plans are called "Health Keepers," and they'll be available come July first.
What they are is co-insurance where, for example, you pay 20 percent of a doctor's visit and Trigon pays the other 80 percent.
Since Trigon and Carilion already have a partnership, Trigon customers will continue to get that discount until January of 2003.
Carilion's hoping to work out an agreement by then.

Those four new partners are Aetna, CIGNA, Southern Health Services and Unicare.

Maina's maternal instinct for her puppy is so strong she won't allow her owner to approach.
The owner says Maina lost her own baby, but soon began to shower love and attention on an adopted puppy as though it were her own.
Now the story of this loving monkey and her puppy is traveling the streets of Dhaka, drawing onlookers every day.
