Your coverage will now be offered through Independence Administrators (IA).

Should I have receive new insurance cards?
Yes, you should have received a new card in the mail prior to January 1, 2019 with a new Identification Number and the new Plan Name to give to your providers for any services after that date. Please destroy your old Horizon Blue Cross card and begin using the Independence Administrators Card for all medical services.
You will receive a card for yourself and one for every eligible family member on file. Please note, these cards may come in different envelopes.
There is nothing you need to do to be enrolled in the plan, this will happen automatically.
If you have any additional questions about your coverage and what you are entitled to, please contact the Medical Department of the Fund Office at (800) 624-3096
