  • IBEW 76 Health & Welfare Trust COVID-19 Update
    Updated On: Mar 26, 2020

    In light of the outbreak of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in our area, the Trustees are implementing this coverage change effective March 15, 2020.  Benefits under the   IBEW Health & Welfare Trust of Southwest Washington have been temporarily modified as follows:

    1. The Trust will waive any medically necessary out-of-pocket costs associated with testing for COVID-19 for both PPO and non-PPO providers.  This includes both the cost of the test as well as office visits or other provider charges related to the testing. NOTE: Treatment of COVID-19 is still subject to applicable cost sharing and PPO/non-PPO benefit levels depending on the provider’s status.

    1. The Trust will temporarily suspend any prior authorization requirement for treatment or testing of COVID-19.
    2. The Trust will allow a one-time early refill on prescription drugs. (This early refill allowance will not apply to certain controlled substances).

    Teladoc Benefit

    You also have access to a doctor through TELADOC, a benefit that allows you to connect with a Doctor 24/7 for remote care of issues such as cold & flu, allergies, and more.

    It is important to remember that the benefits provided to you by this Trust are self-funded. These benefits are not being provided by an insurance company.
