The Board of Trustees is pleased to provide you with this updated description of your TeamstersCare benefits. The benefits described in this booklet, although authorized by the Trustees and administered by our TeamstersCare staff, are benefits that you have earned—and continue to earn—over the course of your working years.

The Trustees are committed to providing you and your family with high-quality healthcare coverage, including two TeamstersCare HMO options—as well as weekly disability and other benefits.

Besides these basic coverages, you and your family have access to local TeamstersCare inhouse clinical services. Taken together, our Charlestown, Chelmsford, Malden, and Stoughton facilities offer wellness, prescription drug, dental, mental health & substance abuse, and audiology services, in supportive surroundings,
at the hands of our own dedicated TeamstersCare healthcare professionals.

Your new Answerbook is a Summary Plan Description (SPD),
a document designed to outline the basic details of your TeamstersCare benefits. TeamstersCare administers the benefits according to the terms of this SPD and the Agreement and Declaration of Trust of the Teamsters Union 25 Health Services & Insurance Plan.

The Answerbook describes the benefits and services available if you or someone in your family is sick or injured, needs preventive care, or suffers an unexpected loss. Please read this booklet carefully and make certain your family understands how they can use the Answerbook to find important information, both routinely and in case of emergency.

If you have questions on any aspect of your benefits, contact TeamstersCare through Charlestown Member Services, check our teamsterscare.com website, or visit us in person at any of our facilities. Remember: no question you or a dependent may have is too basic to ask—or too much trouble for us to answer.
