The JLMC is pursuing several initiatives for Trust Funds and Benefit Plans, available to JLMC members individually or as an integrated composite program. The Initiatives currently include the creation of a UFCW/JLMC database and a partnership with a group of top-tier vendors.

Objectives of the Trust Fund Initiatives
To identify best practices and to achieve high quality and cost efficiencies

In Detail
UFCW/JLMC Trust Fund Database
Zenith Administrators, led by CEO John Corapi, will build a simple repository of vital Trust Fund information and provide basic reporting back to member Trust Funds. This web-based sysetm will support collection and reporting of over 200 data elements. Each Trust Fund will have the ability to enter its own data, update it as needed, and will be able to general predefined reports.

Top-Tier Vendor Partnerships
  • HMC Companies: Health care cost and care analysis, preventative and wellness programs, disease and chronic care management, and pharmacy benefit management

  • UnitedHealthcare: Offers many options in fully insured and self-insured medical and specialty products, including PPO and HMO medical plans, pharmacy, vision, clinical programs, life and disability

  • informedRx: Begun in 2001, the JLMC Alliance program with informedRx (an SXC Health Solutions Company) currently covers over 225,000 participants. The Alliance has produced pharmacy quality improvements and cost efficiencies.

  • Secondary Networks through CAI and TC3: Product offerings include secondary PPO networks for out-of-network claim discounts, fraud and abuse detection, code edit and duplicate detection, dental cost containment, Medicare supplement, and audit of services.
