2010 Information Update Form Needed

Recently the 2010 Information Update Form was mailed to all of our members. This form needs to be completed and returned as soon as possible to Mo-Kan. The information you provide ensures Mo-Kan has the most up-to-date information on file to better serve you as our member. This is the only resource for obtaining other insurance information about you and your family. If Mo-Kan does not receive this form back, claims on your account will be denied for missing information. Once the appropriate information is received, claims will be processed as usual. If you need assistance or have questions about the for, please contact the Fund office at 816-531-0334 or 1-866-531-5488 and one of our representatives will be glad to help you. Can't find the form, you can download the form HERE.

**Please keep in mind if you do not fill out the form with the correct information and The Fund is made aware that another insurance carrier is responsible for your claims, you may be required to refund any and all monies paid for claims on your behalf. Your benefits could also be suspended until the full amount owed to The Fund is recovered.

Prescription Drug Plan

Mo-Kan Sheet Metal Workers Welfare Fund has added a new benefit for over-the-counter medications under the prescription drug program.  Members are now able to purchase certain over-the-counter medications at $10.00 retail co-pay and $20.00 mail order copay.  In order to receive the appropriate generic co-pay, you must present a prescription from your physician, for the over-the-counter product, to your pharmacist to process the claim. 

You may have heard in the news, many prescription brand medications now have an over-the-counter alternative that have the same, or similar, active ingredients.   Just a few examples are listed below.  OTC options can offer you, the member, significant savings. 

We certainly hope you take advantage of this new, cost savings benefit.  If you have any further questions, please contact us at 816-531-0334 or 1-866-531-5488.
