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
