HEALTH PLAN CORNER

  Greetings, old and new APWU health plan members. I would like to thank you all for returning back this year to the greatest plan available in the Federal Employee’s Health Benefit program. This year our

plan grew in membership. Thanks to the increase in premiums in the other plans.

  New members will be just as pleased as our old members that are returning this year. New members can expect their membership cards in the mail by the printing of this paper. If you have not received your ID/Prescription cards, call 1-800-222-APWU.

  Again I would like to welcome you to the greatest plan available.

  Flexible spending account users, those members that use the flexible spending account, who were enrolled in last year and enrolled this year will be able to extend the filing of claims period, up to March, 2008 for 2007’s benefits.

                                Prescription Druq Proqram

   Back in January the Health Plan changed the 10 Card to protect our privacy by giving us new numbers vs. using our Social Security Numbers. The same card is used for the Prescription Drug Program. If you have not received your new card with a new number(not your SS#), please contact this number, 1-800-841-2734, and order your new card. Here is a great way to use your prescription drug benefit program to save you more out of pocket money. For those of you who take long term medicine, such as high blood pressure medications, or diabetic medicine, listen carefully. If you get a 90-day prescription for your medicine you will now have to get two prescriptions from your doctor, one for 30 days and another for 90 days. Then you would just turn in the 30 day to your local pharmacy and mail in the 90 day.

 Members, your doctor can also call the MEDCO Health help line at the above number and receive a fax form to fax in your prescriptions.

The Pat Davis Scholarship Awards

The Pat Davis Scholarships Award will be awarded at the August Union meeting. We are in the process of contacting the winners to have them be present at our next meeting to receive the awards. They will be announced once contacted. Giving you the information to help you make informed decisions.

In your service as always,

Jo Ann Williams
