Retail health clinics will be considered in-network for URMBT’s Traditional, PPO groups, beginning Jan. 1

Effective Jan. 1, 2015, the UAW Retiree Medical Benefits Trust will cover medical claims for services performed at retail health clinics. These clinics will be considered in-network for URMBT’s Traditional and PPO members. Providers should only bill for the services allowed within their scope of practice.

It’s also important to note that:

  • Vaccines and vaccine-related administration services at retail health clinics will be covered at 100 percent if they are submitted as a separate claim.
  • Vaccines and vaccine-related administration services billed with other services at retail health clinics will be subject to copays.

We’ll be providing more detailed information on this topic in The Record later this year.
