Retiree Coverage

Non-Medicare-Eligible Retiree Medical Coverage

As a retired member of the Teamsters Security Fund for Southern Nevada – Local 14, you have access to retiree health care coverage through Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield until you become eligible for Medicare.

Here’s an overview of how the Retiree Plan works:

  • For care received at a Family Wellness Center: You’ll pay $0, even if you haven’t met your deductible yet!
  • For care NOT received at a Family Wellness Center: You’ll first have to meet a deductible, except for preventive care.
    • Once you meet the deductible, you and the Plan will share in the cost of services. For care received at an in-network provider, you’ll pay the copay shown in the table below.
    • You and the Plan will continue to share the cost of services until you meet the out-of-pocket limit. Once you meet this limit, you’ll pay $0 for covered services for the rest of the plan year. Note: There are separate out-of-pocket limits for medical and prescription drug expenses.
    • If you need to fill a prescription, you must use an Elixir in-network pharmacy, which includes Walgreens, CVS, Costco, Raley’s, Safeway, Vons, and Smith’s pharmacies. If you see a doctor at the Family Wellness Center, certain generic drugs may be available at no cost.

There is an annual benefit maximum of $1 million per retiree per year—meaning that, once the Plan spends $1 million on your care for that year, you’ll be responsible for any additional expenses.

This is just a brief overview of some of the covered services. See the Retiree Plan Document for a complete benefit table, including what you pay for care received out-of-network.

Options for In-Network Care

Our Retiree Plan is all about bringing you a wide provider network. That way, you can make your own decisions about where to get care.

The Family Wellness Centers – Your First Stop for Care

The Teamsters Local 14 Family Wellness Centers offer retirees and their covered dependents high-quality, confidential medical and preventive care. From physicals to condition management for chronic illnesses, the centers are here to support you with services provided by board-certified primary care physicians (PCP), including:

Primary and preventive care: Annual physicals and checkups, sick visits, flu shots, health coaching and goal development, and help with managing chronic conditions

Lab and blood work: Test for allergies and determine diagnoses

Medical prescriptions: Approximately 50–75 generic medications available onsite

Care received at the Family Wellness Centers is FREE. Appointments are required, but generally, same-day appointments are available. When necessary, Wellness Center providers will refer you to cost-effective, high-quality specialists and outside services.
