Dear Mayor Olson:
I am writing to acknowledge receipt of your letter advising that effective July 1, 2010, the City of Laurel
will be withdrawing from the MMIA Employee Benefits Program. Benefits will terminate for enrolled
employees at 12:01 a.m., July 1, 2010.
The medical plans in which your employees are currently enrolled, state: "Upon termination of the
MMIA Member Entity's participation in the Plan or termination of the Plan, final claims must be received
within three (3) months of the date of termination, unless otherwise established by the Plan
Administrator." Please advise your employees that medical claims must be submitted to Allegiance
Benefit Plan Management by the end of September, 2010 to be eligible for benefit payment.
Dental claims must be submitted to Delta Dental within one year from the date of service to be eligible
for benefit payment.
Vision claims must be submitted to Vision Service Plan within six months from date of service to be
eligible for benefit payment.
Please be advised that pursuant to Section 5 of the enclosed Program Agreement, re-entry into the
Program may be conditioned upon such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors may require (at
the beginning of the plan year following 36 months from the withdrawal date). Re-entry may also be
subject to the payment of a re-entry fee in such amount as the Board may determine in its sole
discretion to the extent permitted by applicable law and such re-entry shall commit your group to be
treated as a new Member Entity for purposes of the Initial Commitment Period.
If you have any questions, please contact us at 1-800-635-3089.
Sincerely,
