Is this insurance plan a PPO or HMO?
This Plan is an HMO plan managed by Union Health Services (UHS). All services must be provided or referred by a Union Health Services physician.
Why does the BCBS insurance card have PPO on it?
The PPO logo that appears on your BCBS ID card is required by BlueCross BlueShield (who issues the card). This card is to be used in emergency situations only. If you have any questions about your benefits or when the use of this card is appropriate, please call the Fund Office at (312) 233-8888 to have your questions answered.
How do I change my beneficiary designation for the death benefit?
The death benefit is only payable to your beneficiary if you are actively employed at the time of your death (does not apply to retirees). You may change your beneficiary designation by completing a Death Benefit Beneficiary Form and returning it to the Fund Office. Click here to access form.
