NOTE: This section is only applicable to participants enrolled in the UnitedHealthcare Traditional network offered through December 31, 2019. Effective January 1, 2020, the only UnitedHealthcare network offered to participants is UnitedHealthcare Harmony Network.

UnitedHealthcare has contracts with certain designated medical groups that will only allow new participant enrollment on an annual basis. At the present time, the following medical groups fall into this category:

  • UCLA
  • Loma Linda
  • Cedars-Sinai

UCLA, Loma Linda and Cedars-Sinai will only accept new participants who will be effective January 1st of each year. If you want to enroll in one of these medical groups, you should contact the Trust Fund Administrative Office during the month of October for a change date to be effective January 1st.

The list is subject to change and you may contact the Administrative Office for up to date information at any time.

If you are enrolled in one of the above listed medical groups, and wish to change to another medical group or to another Plan offered, you may do so only under the terms of the Rolling 12-Month Open Enrollment Procedure described above.
