About Apprentices
An apprentice who entered the Apprenticeship Proper before January 2014 becomes eligible for coverage under this Plan on the month in which he or she has accumulated a minimum of 300 hours of Covered Employment with Participating Employers. The Apprentice remains eligible for this coverage as long as he or she remains in the Apprentice Program whether working or not.
Dental
The Plan provides dental care through an insured arrangement through Ameritas Dental.
Vision
Your vision benefits are provided through VSP. You will get the highest level of care, including a WellVision Exam – a comprehensive exam designed to detect eye and health conditions. When you see a VSP provider, you’ll get the most out of your benefit, have lower out-of-pocket costs, and your satisfaction is guaranteed.
Using your vision benefits:
- Register at vsp.com. Once your plan is effective, review your benefit information.
- Find an eyecare provider who is right for you. The decision is yours to make – choose a VSP provider or any out-of-network provider. To find a VSP provider, visit vsp.com or call (800) 877-7195.
- At your appointment, tell them you have VSP. There is no ID card necessary. If you would like a card as a reference, you can print one on vsp.com.
- There are no claim forms to complete when you see a VSP provider.
