Welcome!

Did you know? Do you remember?
April 1, 1987 we left the City control health care world to become self-insured and self-administrated. The founding fathers of this great health plan were John Brancheau, Mike Fosnaugh, and Joe Walter. The City laughed at us and watched and waited for us to come crawling back, begging to be reinstated into their health care bureaucracy. Instead, we as a group of concerned shoppers have made this a one-of-a-kind plan in this country.

It is important for us all to remember what a great health care system we have. Ask those newly hired, recently retired, or anyone who has purchased private health insurance in the past. We've got a great thing going. It's our baby! We must not take it for granted, abuse it, nor spend it's money like there 's no tomorrow. Just like our home budgets, we need to shop wisely for the best deals - always trying to get the most bang for our buck.

If ever you're unhappy with a Plan benefit ruling you do have recourse. All written appeals are referred to the review committee on a quarterly basis. Our Board of Trustees consist of four civilian and five firefighters trustees.

Your Trustees are the people who best understand the ups and down, and the legalities and the financial implications of what the Health Plan "can" and "cannot" do. I encourage you to email these people with voting rights to revise policies. A "thank you" for all their work on this unpaid position would certainly be appreciated, too. Read more.
