IMPORTANT: Our group is a member of the Blue Cross Participating Provider Option (or PPO). Failure to use a Provider within the program will result in a lower benefit and therefore higher cost to you.

New dependents must be added within 30 days. Contact the Fund Office when you get married, divorced, have a baby or wish to change your beneficiary.

Most hospitals and doctors will file a claim directly with Blue Cross Blue Shield if you use your PPO Blue Cross Blue Shield I.D. Card (excludes Dental/Vision/Hearing Reimbursement Benefit). FOR A REPLACEMENT CARD PLEASE CALL BLUE CROSS AT 800 810-2583 OR VISIT THEIR WEB SITE AT www.bcbsil.com. 

If you are ill or have had an accident that will prevent you from working, contact the Fund Office for Loss of Time benefits. Also, please notify the Fund Office if you are receiving Worker’s Compensation so that we may give you credit toward your insurance coverage.
