The Management Benefits Fund
Superimposed Major Medical Plan
The Management Benefits Fund is pleased to offer supplemental (last-payer type) medical coverage to its members through its Superimposed Major Medical Plan (SMMP).
This plan supplements primary health insurance coverage by providing additional coverage to members who incur substantial qualifying out-of-pocket medical expenses that remain after all other health coverage has been applied. After an individual calendar year deductible is satisfied, the plan reimburses 90%* of non-reimbursed covered medical expenses at Reasonable and Customary (R&C) allowances until out-of-pocket expenses reach $2,500.
* Reimbursement is at 80% of R&C for out-of-pocket costs incurred for prescription drugs.
