Important Health Insurance Update
Effective immediately, employees covered under a LLCC health insurance plan will begin receiving their explanation of benefits (EOB) via email rather than mailed to their homes. The EOB is a document that is sent to you each time you use your health insurance to explain how your benefits were applied to the claim. Currently, your EOB will be emailed to your LLCC email address. However, if you wish to change this to a personal email address, you may do so by contacting SISCO at 1-800-457-4726.
