IAFF Local 587 Health Insurance
You may or may not know that for years the Union has been trying to break away from the City's medical, dental and vision plans. We have always believed that we could provide better benefits for our members and retirees, and in 2018 we had the chance to do so. Since then, we bundled medical, dental and vision benefits for less than what our members had been paying for just medical. We continued to offer our Active Employees the Cigna NPOS plan bundled with Vision and Dental at a minimal cost increases. Our Non-Medicare Retirees and our Medicare Retirees not eligible for Medicare Parts A & B or with dependents were also offered the Cigna NPOS bundled plan with reduced monthly contributions. Our Medicare Part A & B Retirees and those with spouses also enrolled in Medicare Parts A&B, were offered the option to enroll in either Cigna or Aetna for supplemental insurance. In addition to these premium decreases, the following benefits had been added or improved upon to lower health insurance costs while providing more services and preventative care:
-
Cardiac CT Calcium Scoring at In Network provider covered at 100% / Out of Network covered at coinsurance after deductible
-
Breast Ultrasounds at In Network provider covered at 100% / Out of Network covered at coinsurance after deductible
-
Pharmacy Savings for Tier 1 Retail Prescriptions $10 co pay or Free 90-day supply via Cigna’s mail order
-
Orthodontic Coverage increased to a lifetime maximum of $2,500.00
-
Hearing Aids are covered at 100% with a maximum allowance of $2,000 per pair and limited to once every 3 years
-
Lasik Procedures will be covered with a maximum allowance of $1,000 per eye on a reimbursement basis paid directly to the Member by the Trust since this is not be covered by Cigna. Member will need to submit an invoice and proof of payment.
So what's new for the 2022 year? We're happy to announce that premiums for retirees will be decreasing by 30% this year for both the Cigna coverage and Aetna Medicare Advantage plan. The Trust also voted to increase several benefits to continue reaching the goal of making our members healthier, happier, and to lower your health insurance costs, overall. This includes a new Health Reimbursement Account (HRA), a Wellness Program and increased Dental Coverage.
- Health Reimbursement Account: To help off-set your Medical Costs, we are introducing a new HRA with a Debit Card and Direct Deposit option that can be used for co-pays, out of pocket costs, prescription drugs, and other IRS approved expenses. A Single coverage member will receive $500, Member and Spouse or Member and Child(ren) will receive $1,000, and Member with Family will receive $1,500 to spend prior to December 31st, 2022. There are important rules that must be followed when using this card, so please read the material carefully and be sure to save receipts for all qualified purchases. You must sign up for the HRA to receive the Debit Card or get Direct Deposit into your bank account. Details will be contained in the Open Enrollment Package or download the HRA packet here.
- Wellness Program: To help us reach the goals, we are introducing a new Wellness Program that will help each covered member try to reach a healthier, happier lifestyle. The Wellness Program will start off by allowing you to establish a baseline of your current health and lifestyle. Afterwards, it will introduce incentives and programs for you to take advantage of in order to make those small changes that will lead to improving your overall health. You will be able to track your progress towards your goals via a web portal or on your phone.
- Increased Dental Coverage: The Calendar Year Maximum Benefit will be increased from $1,500 to $2,000 for Calendar Year 2022. This is for those enrolled in the Cigna Dental Program only.

Open Enrollment will be from 10/25/2021 - 11/12/2021

In addition to previous years’ enhancements and benefits increases, the Board of Trustees voted to provide the following additional benefits to our program effective on January 1st, 2022:
- Dental Benefits – The Calendar Year Maximum benefit will increase from $1,500 per year to $2,000 per year.

The HRA will be administered by Diversified Administration in combination with a mySource MasterCard. It can be used to pay for or reimburse for any IRS Code Section 213(d) Eligible Medical Expenses. We are working hard to get this program up and running on January 1st, 2022. More information can be found in the attached.

Health Reimbursement Account (HRA)
The IAFF Local 587, has established a plan to reimburse you for any eligible IRS permitted medical, dental or vision expense.

Once you become a Participant, a reimbursement trust account will be maintained in your name, to keep a record of the amounts available to you for certain eligible expenses.

As you incur eligible expenses, you may be required to provide supporting documentation. Cash register receipts, canceled checks, credit card slips or credit card bills will not be accepted. If the expense is eligible, you will receive a reimbursement and the amount will be recorded in your account. If the reimbursement request is rejected as not eligible, you will be notified why.
