Members are reminded that whenever a status change occurs, including, but not limited to, marriage, divorce, legal separation, births, adoption, disability, and death, it is a legal requirement, to avoid fraud, that the member informs the Trust in a timely manner.
*Failure to timely report changes could result in fraud, especially if claims were collected that were not to be allowed or due*
This is the 23rd year of the Trust in providing enhanced benefits to members. The Trust has always been proactive in anticipating changes in the health care industry and we look forward to continued success.
