NOTE: Action is required in order to maintain health plan coverage for your dependents.
The Dependent Verification deadline has been extended to September 3, 2010
|
The UFCW & Employers Benefit Trust (the Trust Fund) has partnered with HMS Verify Solutions, an outside auditing company, to conduct a confidential Dependent Verification Review of the health care plan (the Plan). Providing coverage to ineligible dependents increases healthcare costs for you and the Trust Fund. This review ensures that coverage is only extended to those who are eligible for plan benefits.
The Trust Fund appreciates your cooperation in this important effort to keep healthcare costs down.
|
Reporting Eligible Dependents
By September 3, 2010, you must send proof of eligibility for dependents that are eligible for the Plan.
Reporting Ineligible Dependents
By September 3, 2010 you must also report any ineligible dependents. Amnesty- If you report the ineligible dependents during this period, you will not be required to pay the Plan back for claims already paid. No additional claims will be paid for the ineligible dependents.
Failure to Respond
If you do not send in all the required proof for a dependent (s) or report ineligible dependents to be removed from coverage, the dependent (s) will be removed from the Plan and no additional claims will be paid. In addition, you will be required to pay the Plan back for claims already paid on these dependents.
