ARTA Extended Health Care Members
BY JERRY STEFANYK | Director , Member Services
As you may have noticed , the cost of almost everything is either going up or has already gone up . These price increases include prescription drugs , medical services and many other items of concern to ARTA ' s members .
In the past , the ARTA Health Benefits Committee has received letters and emails from members with ideas of how the ARTA Extended Health Care Plan can save money . For example , members have suggested covering repairs , where possible , to medical equipment such as orthopedic insoles and wheelchairs instead of purchasing new ones . These recommendations were later implemented .
Other members have shared thoughts about how we could maintain long-term sustainability of plan rates and benefits because when the plan saves money , the members save money . When efficiencies are achieved in the plan , expenses are minimized , meaning each dollar you pay in premiums goes farther to pay for medically necessary expenses .
If you , as an ARTA member on the Extended Health Care Plan , have ideas about how the plan could save money , please pass those suggestions on to the ARTA Health Benefits Committee . The committee will evaluate the feasibility of each suggestion you send .
Email your ideas to info @ arta . net or mail them to 409- 11010 142 Street NW , Edmonton , AB T5H 4M7 .
We thank you in advance for your input .
As of October 11 , 2016 , ARTA ’ s plan administrator ASEBP will be located in a new office building .
HERE ’ S OUR NEW ADDRESS
Allendale Centre East Suite 301 , 6104-104 Street NW Edmonton , AB T6H 2K7
