Dear Local 95 Welfare Fund Plan Participant:

We are pleased to inform you that the Fund has partnered with the MagnaCare PPO Medical Network and ClaimsBridge Connect, which will now be administered through IDA, our new Third-Party administrator. This new arrangement brings a host of benefits, ensuring a seamless and efficient healthcare experience for you.

The new Network will be available on May 1st. We want to assure you that the transition will be smooth and hassle-free. As previously informed, the DC 37 Local 95 Welfare Fund will retroactively reimburse any eligible claims for services incurred during the Empire termination, February 1-April 30th, 2024.

With MagnaCare’s PPO network, The Fund will no longer require a Primary Care
Physicians to direct your healthcare service, and participants will have a greater
selection of in-network providers. However, all Plan design features remain unchanged, including the requirement for in-network services Only.

 * A New Medical Identification Card will be mailed in the coming weeks prior to the May 1st Live date; please be on the lookout for future mail from the Fund office. If you recently moved or relocated, please make sure that the Fund office has your new address on file.

In the meantime, if you have incurred any expense that you wish to have reimbursed, please download and complete a claim form from the Welfare Funds website, www.dc1707l95wf.net. The form can be downloaded under the Forms or Resources tab. Once downloaded, please complete sections 1-13 and have your provider complete sections 14-33. You can also obtain the claim form from the provider's office.

These changes do not include your Prescription benefit or Dental plan,  which is provided through a separate contract with Navitus Rx and HealthPlex and will continue uninterrupted.

 

Sincerely yours,
THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
