Benefi ts at
Your Fingertips
Ah, the joys of the technological age! You can get pretty much anything you need
online these days — from buying furniture to getting groceries, it seems like there
is nothing you can’t do with a few taps on your smartphone or tablet. And, when
it comes to managing your benefi ts digitally, the ARTA Retiree Benefi ts Plan is no
exception.
Manage Your Benefi ts
With Ease
With the ARTA Members Health
Care Account, everything you
need to make the most of your
benefi ts is at your fi ngertips.
Wondering if a new medication
you have been discussing with
your doctor is covered? Just log
in and visit Drug Enquiry to fi nd
out! Curious to know if a recent
claim has been processed? Check
out the Claims History feature.
You will even fi nd information
about your level of benefi t
coverage, be able to print a new
ARTA Benefi ts ID card and
manage your contact and banking
information. It really is that easy!
Tax Assistance
Another great feature of the
ARTA Members Health Care
Account is the ability to access
your yearly Premium & Claims
Summary no matter where you
are in the world. As long as you
have access to the internet, you
are good to go! With tax season
just around the corner — and
many of you snowbirds heading
to warmer climates for the
winter — this access is vitally

important. Just remember
that your Premium & Claims
Summary is simply meant to
be a reference tool to help you
reconcile your medical expense
records in preparation for your
income taxes. You should use
your Explanation of Benefi ts
Statements and pharmacy and
other health-related expense
receipts when calculating medical
expense totals, as these are
considered offi cial tax receipts
— your Premium & Claims
Summary is not.
Your 2019 Premium & Claims
Summary will be available on
the ARTA Members Health Care
Account in February 2020.
More Helpful Services
While the ARTA Members
Health Care Account currently
off ers many great benefi ts to
ARTA Retiree Benefi ts Plan
members, there are even more
useful services on the horizon.
Over the past year, ARTA has
been reviewing a number of
services they could adopt to
off er the convenience of online
claims to its members. After
careful consideration, they have
decided to once again partner
with us here at ASEBP to create
a custom-built platform to allow
members to submit claims online
through their ARTA Members
Health Care Account. We are
excited to work on this project
and look forward to being able to
update you all once we get closer
to a launch date.
