What the health!
We know that understanding the ins and outs of your medical coverage is as confusing as health, so we've provided this page to help. Start with this tip: when in doubt, call BVA Customer Care at 1-855-686-8517. A customer service representative should help with all things related to your medical insurance. If you run into problems, contact your Union's insurance committee chair for assistance.
