Annual Health Plan Re-enrollment for Year 2000
Each year employees covered under the Railroad Employees' National Health & Welfare Plan living in areas in the country that have the Managed Medical Care Program (MMCP) have the opportunity to change benefit plans for themselves and their dependants. This year employees residing in Managed Care areas approved by the plan will be mailed materials to enroll in either MMCP or CHCB effective January 1, 2000. By October 11, 1999 enrollment kits will be mailed to all railroad employees living in areas of the country where the Managed Medical Care Program is available.

The re-enrollment process provides employees with a chance to change their benefits for the coming year to update personal information on themselves and their dependants and to obtain the latest up-dated Provider Directory.

The enrollment kit will include:

  • Enrollment letter
  • Enrollment brochure
  • Pre-filled enrollment form
  • Updated Provider Directory
  • Questions and Answers for the MMCP

Enrollment forms must be returned by November 12, 1999.

Employees who will remain in the Comprehensive Health Care Benefit (CHCB) and wish to obtain updated information on Preferred Providers may do so by calling member services. United Healthcare has a feature on its toll free number (800-842-5252) which enables a caller to select a Provider Directory specific to a thirty (30) mile radius of a zip code. Employees can continue to request a free directory through member service representatives.
