Frequently asked questions about the switch to Healthplex: Why did I get 2 new Healthplex cards with my name on it? The ID cards list the members name and Benefit Fund number. This is the information needed to check eligibility. A dependent can carry your extra card but, as always, you and your dependents do not need a card to receive benefits.... What phone number to I call for Healthplex & what are their hours of operation? For Active, Cobra & Enhanced Retirees please call 1-866-717-1869. For No-Cost Basic Retirees please call 1-866-935-9047. Their hours are Mon-Fri 8am to 6pm EST ( Eastern Standard Time). I have a dependent who is under 26 that should now be eligible. Do I need to do anything? No, you do not. They automatically became eligible as of 1/1/2021. I am a No-Cost Basic Retiree & would like to look into the Self-Pay plans. Where can I get that information? It is listed on our website, www.scmebf.org, under Fund News called Self-Pay Enhanced Retiree Plan Packet & Forms.
