DENTAL/VISION/HEARING REIMBURSEMENT BENEFIT

 

The Dental/Vision/Hearing Reimbursement Benefit has been in effect for each insured member and his/her family since September 1, 1994.

 

Under this benefit, the member may submit PAID dental, vision and/or hearing bills incurred by the member or the member’s dependent(s) to BAC Local 56 Welfare Fund and be reimbursed for the cost of those expenses up to the annual family maximum.  Insurance deductibles do not have to be met in order to use this benefit.  The health care provider may not submit claims on your behalf - they will be rejected.  Unpaid bills will also be rejected.  Effective February 23, 2000, there is a $400 maximum paid per pair of eyeglass frames (not including lenses).

 

The annual family maximum is the single amount available to the member for all of the member’s and the member’s dependents’ dental, vision and hearing expenses incurred for the calendar year.

 

THE FAMILY ANNUAL MAXIMUMS ARE AS FOLLOWS:

 

Effective July 1, 2006:                          1)  Plan A coverage  -  $3,000.00

                                                            2)  Plan B coverage  -  $2,500.00        

                                                                                   

 

 

CLAIMS MUST BE SUBMITTED WITHIN NINETY (90) DAYS AFTER THE END OF EACH PLAN YEAR (ON OR BEFORE MARCH 31).   Example:  2006 claims will not be paid after March 31, 2007.

Requests for claim forms and inquiries regarding your claim(s) should be directed to Local 56 Welfare Fund (630) 653-5930, ext. 2.  In answer to many questions:  YES! - You may use photocopied claim forms.  Claim forms are also available on the internet at www.bac56il.org NO! – claims forms do not have to be on the same color paper that we print them on.

 

Please note:  only bills that indicate the provision of dental or vision or hearing services and show that all amounts on the bill have been paid, along with billing codes, and an explanation of services, will be considered for reimbursement.  In addition, only dental/vision/hearing benefits, which are described in Section 213(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 will be available for reimbursement.  This would exclude reimbursement for services that are performed primarily for cosmetic reasons (including teeth whitening).

 

CORRECTIVE VISION SURGERY (LASIK, LASEK, PRK) IS ALSO COVERED BY THE PLAN EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2006.  This benefit is separate from the Dental/Vision/Hearing Benefit annual family maximum. There is a $1,000 lifetime benefit available for each member, spouse and covered dependent – all age 21 and over.  The $1,000 must be paid first, then you will be reimbursed OR if you make monthly payments, you may submit those payments for reimbursement also.  USE THIS FORM!
