Medical Benefits

There are five Medical Plans available to the Electrical Workers Local 357 Health & Welfare Trust Fund members. The options are described briefly below. Detailed information regarding each plan can be obtained on this website or by calling the Trust Fund Office at (702) 415-2188.

Your medical benefit network is provided by Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. To get the most out of your benefits, it is best to use a provider that participates in the Anthem network. To locate a participating provider, please log into www.Anthem.com or call the Trust Fund office for assistance. If a provider is not contracted under the applicable network, your claims will be processed as Out of Network, and benefits will be reduced. Remember for the best benefits, when accessing care you should always use an Anthem provider. For primary care services, UFHC and Flex Plan participants must use the Union Family Health Center or services may not be covered.

PPO Plan (the participant must live outside of the Local 357 jurisdiction or in the Preferred Plan Service Area but does not wish to enroll in the Preferred Plan) – The PPO Plan contains lesser benefits (higher out-of-pocket costs) than the Preferred Plan, but does not require the participant to select a Primary Care Physician or follow the rules and guidelines set forth by the Preferred Plan. If you do not select a Plan upon eligibility, you will automatically be enrolled in the PPO Plan. Non-adult children of parents covered under the Preferred Plan will be enrolled in the PPO Plan.

Union Family Health Center Plan (UFHC) (mandatory for newly eligible Active Employees residing in Clark County or portions of Nye County, specifically Pahrump, who have not had coverage under the Electrical Workers Health & Welfare Fund for a period of five or more years are required to enroll in the Union Family Health Center Plan for the first two years of coverage and also available for participants who reside within the Preferred Plan service area) – The Union Family Health Center Plan requires that you obtain all primary care services from the Union Family Health Center, and requires referral for specialist care.  Eligible Dependents under the age of three years old are not required to obtain primary care services from the Health Center, nor are referrals required for specialist care.  The Plan contains the same calendar year deductible as the Preferred Plan, and has the following additional features:

• No out-of-pocket cost sharing for primary care physician services
• No out-of-pocket cost sharing for diagnostic and lab services at the Health Center
• No out-of-pocket cost sharing for limited generic prescription drugs

Flex Plan - The Flex Plan is offered to employees working under contracts where the Flex Plan has been negotiated. This plan is similar to the UFHC Plan, with a slightly different benefit structure.

Medicare Retiree Plan (available to retired employees receiving a pension benefit from the IBEW Local 357 Pension Trust) – The Medicare Retiree Plan offers PPO benefits, secondary to Medicare, designed to provide coverage for most of the out-of-pocket expenses after Medicare. In some cases, the benefit may not cover 100% of the balance due after Medicare.

Anthem Medicare Advantage Plan with Rx (MAPD) (available to retired employees receiving a pension benefit) - This plan is a fully-insured Medicare Advantage Plan with Prescription Drug coverage.
