Our "Fund" acting as a customer,
purchases services on our behalf, to provide coverage for us.
They
purchase: Medical services, legal counsel, vision services, prescription drug
care, fund consultant services, and corporate office building housekeeping
services, just to name a few.
There
are many companies that offer these services and the "Fund" selects
the best ones to provide service for us.
In
order for all bills to be paid, when we the members use one of these companies
the "Fund" has selected, paperwork is filled out for the services
used, and sent to the provider. There are NO longer vision or dental forms. The
medical claim forms are extinct with the exception being if it concerns an
accident. We have some of these accident forms in the hall. Remember that once
(1) time a year they will send you a form to complete in regards to your information.
It is imperative that this be filled out promptly and returned to NECA. Failure
to do so will only hold up any claim you may have.
