The
Plan pays directly for, or self-insures, your benefits for prescription, dental
and vision. The Board has contracted with an outside provider to process the
claims for prescription and vision benefits, as described in the appropriate
section of this booklet. When you
submit a claim for a charge for this service, the provider is responsible for
following the schedule of benefits established by the Board of Trustees and
making payment in accordance with that schedule.
The Fund pays the provider a fee to perform these administrative services. The name and address of the
providers that the Board of Trustees has hired to administer the prescription
and vision benefits are:
PRESCRIPTION BENEFITS:
National Medical Health Card
26 Harbor Park Drive
Port Washington, NY 11050 |
VISION BENEFITS:
Group Vision Associates
2811 Lord Baltimore Drive
Baltimore, MD 21244
|
If you disagree with an action taken or a final decision
made by any provider that administers your benefits, you should write to the
Fund Administrator to request a review of the provider's action or decision, as
described in the section titled "Appealing a Denied Claim."
(You must also follow the claims procedure to
dispute a decision made by the Fund about any of your benefits.)
