Healthy Hank - Health Fund Overview
The Operating Engineers Local #49 Health and Welfare Fund is a self funded, multi-employer Health Plan with approximately 36,000 participants. The Operating Engineers Local #49 Health and Welfare Fund was incepted in December 1967 and is overseen by a Board of Trustees made up of both Labor and Management. The Trustees are committed to providing you and your family with the tools, information, and programs you need to take control of your health. In order for you to get the best health care, the health fund has implemented several programs to help you and your covered dependents take control of your health. These programs often work together, in coordination, behind the scenes to make sure the total health of you or a covered family member is being considered when engaged directly with the program. Please make sure you engage with these programs and thoughtfully consider the information you receive from them. Remember, these programs are provided as part of the health plan offering and are available at no cost to you and your covered dependents. The Trustees of the Operating Engineers Local #49 Health & Welfare Fund hire Wilson-McShane Corporation to perform various functions associated with administration of the Fund. If you have questions regarding employer contributions, eligibility, Plan benefits, or claims payments, do not hesitate to contact Wilson-McShane Corporation at: Wilson-McShane Corporation 3001 Metro Drive – Suite 500 Bloomington, MN 55425 (952) 854-0795 toll-free (800) 535-6373
