Non-Medicare Retiree Plan
The inpatient Substance Abuse and Rehabilitation benefits are administered by the Plan's hospital and medical benefits carrier for inpatient rehabilitation. If you utilize a participating facility for these services it will be covered in full. If you utilize a non-participating facility for services you will be responsible for any deductible and co-insurance and you can be balance billed for charges in excess of the negotiated rate paid by Anthem.

FAQs
How do I add my newborn child to my plan?
You must provide the Fund Office with a copy of the child’s birth certificate within 90 days of birth to enroll your child with the applicable date (child’s birthdate). If you fail to do so, within the applicable 90-day period, dependent coverage will not be available under the Plan for your new dependent child until the first of the month following the date in which you provide the Fund Office with the required documentation or any other verifying information requested. A Coordination of Benefits Form must be completed if your child has other coverage. You should also visit the Life Events page on this site to see what you need to do for your other benefits.
