Strike Settlement Guarantees Members Reimbursed for Medical Expenses
As part of the strike settlement agreement, the Union insisted that Boeing make all members whole on their benefits (medical, dental, life, etc). The coverage shall be considered continuous as though there wasn’t a strike. If you paid COBRA premiums, you will get a reimbursement check.
If, during the strike, a member or dependents had medical expenses billed from their doctor, clinic or hospital, simply resubmit the bill to Regence for payment (if they have Selections or Traditional Medical Plan). If you already paid the doctor, go to www.myregence.com or www.regence.com to download the medical claim form and submit along with a copy of the bill paid to Regence.
Once Regence has paid the provider, the money paid will be refunded. You can call Regence for this same information using the 800 number on the back of your medical card.
If you paid for a prescription, how to get reimbursed depends on the plan.
If you have the Traditional Medical Plan (TMP), go to the Medco website at www.medcohealth.com and download from the link, "Forms and Cards" at the bottom of the page or call Medco at 1-800-251-7690. You will need your Medco Card with your ID number to be able to log in.
If you have Selections, go to either www.myregence.com or www.regence.com and download the reimbursement form or call the 800 number on the back of their Selections Medical Card. If you go online, you will need your Regence card and if you haven't previously registered, you will need to do so.
Keep in mind that those in Group Health should not have incurred any expenses since Group Health continued to provide treatment and prescriptions as though coverage continued. Group Health remembered historically in the strike settlement coverage is made whole so they continued treatment and simply held the billing until the strike was settled.
