Dear Members,
HEALTH BENEFITS NETWORK
PROVIDER UPDATE
The company is no
longer going to allow a choice of medical providers for 2010 but
is offering two(2) options. (1) forward a list of your medical
providers to the Company to try to get them enrolled with the
new insurance carrier; or, (2) designate a "Benefits Address"
with the Company in a state where your preferred network will be
in place in 2010. The Company allows you to have two addresses
on file, one for Payroll and Residency purposes, and a second
one for your Benefits. Your Benefits Address does not impact
your state of residency for payroll taxes, but it does drive the
insurance network. If this is the option you are choosing,
please be sure to designate an address where you can pick up
your new insurance ID cards, flexible spending account
reimbursements, and any other benefits-related mailings (your
Fidelity retirement statements are mailed to your Payroll
address).
Instructions for
designating a Benefits Address:
