On March 10, CapCare hosted a webinar about the exclusive healthcare member benefit program available to members of Texas REALTORS®. During the session, Bridget Gielis spoke and answered questions about what the program entails, what it means to become a member of the Local 426 union, and how Texas REALTORS® members can take advantage of this offering.

Here are some of the highlights from the webinar:

  • The program utilizes a national PPO network available in all 50 states plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
  • The program is not available through the commercial market, health insurance brokers, or on the federal marketplace.
  • There is no pre-existing-condition limitation, and coverage cannot be denied. Once becoming a member of Local 426, members are eligible to receive 100% of plan benefits.
  • Members can enroll on the first day of any month, with open enrollment to be completed no later than 30 days in advance. Family and dependents can be enrolled in the program.
  • As an associate member of the Amalgamated Local Union 426, you have access to the member benefit. As an associate member, you do not have collective bargaining or voting rights.
  • Union dues are $35 per month, which are embedded in the plan rates.
  • Rates are not based on factors like age/gender or pre-existing conditions. There are several medical and prescription plan options to choose from.
  • Voluntary supplemental health plans are available, such as accident and specified disease, and hospital indemnity insurance.
  • Plan renewal rates are based on the total plan participants’ experience, regardless of individual claims.
