The Professional Musicians Local 47 and Employers\u2019 Health & Welfare Fund (\u201cFund\u201d) has determined eligibility for benefit coverage effective January 1, 2016. Important enrollment information has been mailed out by the Fund to all eligible members. If you don\u2019t complete and return this information on a timely basis it could negatively affect your ability to enroll or qualify for coverage with the Fund. A delay in the submission of your enrollment form and co-premium may affect your coverage and benefits.<\/p>\n

Participants eligible to enroll in Blue Shield: you must complete an enrollment form selecting a Blue Shield participating provider. The Fund\u2019s website at pacfed.com\/musicians<\/a> has a link to select a Blue Shield participating provider: simply go to the \u201cProvider Page\u201d and click the link to blueshieldca.com\/networkhmo<\/a>. It is important that you complete and return your enrollment form as soon as possible. In order to have your Blue Shield ID card prior to January 1st, your completed application must be received by the Fund Administrative Office prior to December 8th.<\/p>\n

If you are enrolling in Blue Shield and do not have your enrollment form submitted prior to December 8th, you will not receive your ID Card by January 1st ; however, you may be able to view your ID card by using Blue Shield\u2019s mobile app. The Blue Shield mobile app not only allows you to view your ID, but also, claims information, benefit information, as well as find an urgent care facility, and much more.
