MEDICAL BENEFIT
CHANGES
Effective November 1, 2022, the medical and prescription
drug benefits will be fully insured and will be administered under Alliance
Health & Life (“HAP PPO AND AETNA PPO”).
(HAP PPO) combined with AETNA
National Network of Doctors and Hospitals. The network under HAP and Aetna includes most
of the same providers that you have access to today. Visit www.hap.org/find-a-doctor to find
and verify that your doctor or hospital is in the network.
If you are unable to locate your provider on
the portal website, it is important that you notify the Benefits Office at
(800) 772-0459. Be ready to provide the full contact information of the
provider or hospital facility that you are inquiring on, and the Benefits
Office will work with HAP and/or Aetna to try to add the provider to the
network.
HAP Rx will provide your Prescription
Drug Coverage. HAP Prescription Drug coverage is replacing Cigna
(Express Scripts) as the Fund’s prescription drug provider. The coverage is
comparable to the current level, so most participants will not be affected by
this change. However, if your medication
will be changing, you will be notified directly by the Plan and your medication
will be grandfathered for 30 days so that you have time to work with your
doctor regarding any change to your medication.
Visit www.hap.org/prescription-drug to
better understand how your prescription drug coverage works. Visit www.hap.org/prescription-drug/home-delivery for
mail order.
Benefits Comparison. While
the new coverage is comparable, there are some benefit changes, including many
improvements that will save you and your family money on medical expenses. See the table below, which highlights in bold
those areas where the coverage is improved.

amounts applied toward your deductible since January 1, 1022 will
carry over from Cigna to HAP for the remainder of 2022. The same applies to your maximum co-insurance
limit, and any amounts applied toward your co-insurance will
apply to claims you incur under HAP for the remainder of 2022. Please watch your EOB’s from HAP, and contact
the Benefits office if there is any discrepancy.
