Coordination of benefits process modified for some UAW members

Effective Aug. 1, 2013, some UAW and UAW Retiree Medical Benefits Trust members who are eligible for the Major Medical program will receive new ID cards.

The cards will indicate that the members have Master Medical coverage, giving health care providers an easy way to identify that a medical claim can be submitted for these patients. The group number affected is 70605.

Previously, these members had to submit documentation to the UAW Employee Benefits & Pensions Department to be reimbursed for any coinsurance or deductibles they paid for medical services.
