Utilizing a healthcare provider that participates with our networks, will result in a negotiated discountedrate for services rendered.
Hospital/Surgical Centers
The Fund encourages
members to select
participating hospitals/surgical
centers. Doing so will result in
a discounted rate. However,
choosing a NON-participating
hospital or surgical center
affiliated with a NONparticipating hospital would
result in NO discount and a
larger balance.
Emergency Room
If you or a member of your family
has an emergency, go to the ER!
An emergency is a life
threatening or serious condition
that occurs suddenly and may
include acute trauma, prolonged
vomiting, trouble breathing, a
broken bone, chest pain,
poisoning, severe burns, wounds
that need stitches, or any other
severe condition that you think
may be life threatening.
Urgent Care
There are times when going to the
Emergency room is not appropriate.
If you are sick, and your life is not in
danger, call your regular doctor or
visit what is referred to as an Urgent
Care Center
Some reasons for going to an
Urgent Care may include back pain,
earache, sore throats, runny noses,
seasonal allergies, sprain or bruise,
small cuts, mild headache,
moderate fever, or minor accident
