Dear Member:

Santa Barbara County Fire Fighters, Local 2046

PO Box 517, Goleta, CA 93116

Open Enrollment is here again! In the current climate of high increases to 

medical costs and Health Care Reform, we are proud to continue to offer 

our members Union medical plans with greater benefits than County 

plans, at lower rates!

All of our medical plans still include vision c

overage through VSP at no 

additional cost, a LASIK benefit, and the Body Scan benefit for members 

and spouses. Our plans also have lower copays and coinsurance than 

county plans, at a lesser monthly cost. All plans also now include a Mobile 

Health App where you can view all of your benefit information.We are 

also happy to announce that for 2017, retirees with Medicare will have 

access to the low-cost HSA-Eligible PPO plan! 

Please also keep in mind that your union has negotiated UNIT CASH for all 

of our members, to help offset the cost of health insurance.

Finally, we will be holding an Open Enrollment meeting again this y

ear at 

Station 18. Please come out to visit and ask questions about SBCFF

’s plans 

on October 25th, from 9:00 am to noon. We look forward to seeing you 

there!

Sincerely,

Tyler Gilliam
