NON-REIMBURSED

MEDICAL/DENTAL/VISION PLAN

The Non-Reimbursed Medical/Dental/Vision plan will allow members to be reimbursed for otherwise non-reimbursed qualified medical, dental, and vision expenses.  

The reimbursement for Jan 1 - Dec 31 2008 has been increased to $150 per eligible member.

            What’s covered?

·         Prescription co-pays

·         Medical visit co-pays

·         Upgrades to Vision plan not covered by existing benefits

·         Any out-of-pocket medical/dental/vision expenses incurred that are qualified by proper documentation.

            Costs incurred by any of the following people may qualify towards the $150.

·         The eligible member, his/her spouse, his/her domestic partner* and his/her dependents   

You need to complete a claim form, attach your documentation (qualified receipt or  Explanation of Benefits) and send it to NEWMAN COMPANY for review and  reimbursement.

For example: 

1. Your child goes to the dentist and the cost is $900.00.  Your Explanation of Benefits shows that you got less than that amount back from your dental plan, leaving an out-of-pocket patient responsibility. With this benefit, you can now complete a claim form, mail it with your EOB and expect a reimbursement for up to $150.

2. You’ve just used your Davis Vision Benefit and upgraded your choice of frames or lenses. The out-of-pocket upgrade was $60.00.  You can mail your receipt from Davis Vision with the claim form to NEWMAN COMPANY for your $60 reimbursement.

In order to receive this reimbursement, you must fill out a claim form and attach the Explanation of Benefit form (EOB) or qualifying receipt that you received from your insurance company or service provider.

Call the STA office to get these claim forms or click here.

Newman Company will review your claim and documentation. You will a receive reimbursement check up to the maximum amount of $150 per calendar year/per eligible teacher.  If you use your spouse’s health plan, you will also qualify for this coverage by submitting your EOB from that plan.
