IBEW members at PG&E on Jan. 1, 2014 will begin their new Health Account Plan (HAP) through Anthem Blue Cross or Kaiser. Members who have questions are reminded to utilize the resources available through Provant to help navigate the new health plan.
Provant – a wellness provider jointly agreed to by IBEW and PG&E – will be the “one-stop shop” for health and wellness. Provant conducts on-site health screenings at PG&E locations to help identify health risks and set goals to keep you healthy.
Additionally, the health screenings earn you credits towards your Health Account, which helps offset medical expenses under the Health Account Plan. For more information on how the new plan works, medical plan billing, dental or vision plans, or questions about the health screenings and health accounts, contact Provant at 1-866-271-8144. Representatives are available to assist you Monday through Friday from 5 a.m. –5 p.m. Pacific Time. You may also email them at PGEsupport@provanthealth.com.
PG&E also established www.mypgebenefits.com to provide details on the new health plan, including what to expect the first time you visit the doctor or pharmacy in 2014. The website also has all of the free medication and lab test lists, as well as short videos on how the plan works. Family members can also view this site to help better understand how the new plan works.
PG&E will hold a lunchtime conference call on Thursday, Jan. 16 from noon to 1 p.m. for employees and family members to learn how to use the new HAP for the first time in 2014. Because of limited phone lines, PG&E employees with Company system access are encouraged to listen over the intranet by visiting wmsapp01wmsshareaudio.asx. Please note there may be no pre-conference audio on this link. The conference call audio will begin at the start of the actual meeting. Family members may listen to the call by dialing 1-866-814-1912.
