New Dental Insurance means More Choices!

Now we'll have more options when it comes to choosing a dentist.

775NW home care workers enrolled in our Health Benefits Trust are getting a new dental plan, with the same quality benefits and an extended network of dentists!

 
Effective August 1, 2007, Premera Blue Cross will be offering dental coverage for home care workers currently enrolled in the 775 Multiemployer Health Benefits Trust. Premera Blue Cross is replacing Standard insurance for dental insurance.

Premera has a much larger network of preferred dentists. Currently two out of three dentists inWashington state are on the Premera Preferred Dentist list. In fact, the dentist you are using now is probably in the network. Remember, when you use a dentist on the Preferred Dentist list, you receive the highest level of benefits.

There will be no significant changes to your current dental benefits with the move to Premera Blue Cross (refer to the Dental Benefits Overview chart below). There are some improvements to certain services with Premera Blue Cross.

Premera ID cards will be mailed to you in early August. Be sure to present your new ID card any time you see your dentist beginning August 1, 2007.

Not Enrolled? Please contact the Health Benefits Trust office at 1+888-771-7359 (toll-free). They can tell you whether you’re eligible for health care insurance and help you sign up. If you work for a home care agency, please contact your Employer.
