Our Health Programs

Care Management Program

Health changes can be scary, and they can be even scarier when you’re facing a chronic ailment or serious medical condition you know nothing about. That’s why here at WEA Trust, we provide care management programs to ensure that you are never alone. Our managers will make sure you receive care that is up to national medical standards.

Health Benefit Coverage

We administer the state’s Uniform Health Benefits as directed by the Employee Trust Funds (ETF). You can find a Summary of Benefits for our ETF plans here. For more information on specific benefit coverage, state employees and retirees should refer to ETF's Uniform Benefits. Local government employee benefits vary slightly by plan: Local Traditional, Local Deductible, Local Health Plan, and Local High Deductible Health Plan.

Preauthorization

To help contain costs and ensure that the services paid for by your health plan are medically necessary and appropriate, some services require our authorization before you receive them. See services requiring preauthorization.
