Welcome to the Web site of the Teamsters Local 170 Health and Welfare Fund.

It is with great pleasure that we present this Summary Plan Description. This SPD is intended to describe the benefits available through the Teamsters Local 170 Health and Welfare Fund for eligible members, including their eligible spouse and dependent children.

The Health & Welfare Fund offers you a choice for medical plan options! Choose the one to enroll in that best serves the needs of you and your family.

Your choice of medical plan option is binding until open enrollment, at which time you have the option to change medical plans.

This Summary Plan Description describes the benefits to which you are entitled, the eligibility rules, and the procedures you should follow in order to obtain benefits through the Plan. We urge you to become familiar with the benefit program and to bookmark this Web Site for future reference.

The more detailed provision of your available medical benefits, including the terms and conditions, may be found in Blue Cross Blue Shield's Summary Plan Descriptions or The Fallon Community Health Plan's Summary Plan Descriptions – whichever is your carrier choice.

The Fund Office is ready to help you at all times. We hope that you will enjoy good health at all times, but it is gratifying to know that help is available when needed.
