NASI NOW OFFERS MDLIVE - 100% COVERAGE
Monday, August 20, 2018
As a participant or dependent of the National Automatic Sprinkler Industry Welfare Fund who is not yet eligible for Medicare, you have access to virtual visits as of June 1, 2018.
Getting sick is never convenient, and finding time to get to the doctor can be hard. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois (BCBSIL) provides you and your covered dependents access to care for non-emergency medical issues and behavioral health needs through MDLIVE.
Whether you’re at home or traveling, access to an independently contracted board-certified doctor is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You can speak to a doctor immediately or schedule an appointment based on your availability. Virtual visits can also be a better alternative than going to the emergency room (ER).*
MDLIVE doctors or therapists can help treat the following conditions and more:
General Health
- Allergies
- Asthma
- Nausea
- Sinus infections
Pediatric Care
- Cold
- Flu
- Ear problems
- Pinkeye
Behavioral Health
- Anxiety/depression
- Child behavior/learning issues
- Marriage problems
The NASI Welfare Fund will cover 100 percent of the cost for MDLIVE doctors and therapists; no part of the MDLIVE expense will be applied to your individual deductible. The standard coinsurance will apply to any prescriptions that may arise from the use of MDLIVE doctors and therapists. The standard deductibles and coinsurance will apply to other services that may arise from the use of MDLIVE doctors and therapists (e.g. if you are advised to go the ER, use of MDLIVE before you go to the ER will not change the coverage for the ER visit).
This 100 percent level of coverage may change in the future, but no change in this benefit is currently contemplated.
