Forms

You can download and print the TBT forms posted below. Contact the TBT Plan Administration Office if you are not sure which forms apply to you.

Address Changes

Keep your address current, so you’ll receive up-to-date information about your benefits. Remember, TBT keeps one address for each participant. If your spouse or covered dependents don’t live with you, make sure they know that all TBT mail is sent to your address.

Enrollment Materials

The TBT Plan Administration Office automatically sends a new participant enrollment packet to you (at the address provided by your Employer when Plan contributions are sent to TBT on your behalf). If you need to enroll and have not yet received your enrollment materials, contact the TBT Plan Administration Office.

Enrollment for you and your eligible dependents is not automatic. If you don’t send in the required enrollment forms within 30 days after you and your covered dependents become eligible, the coverage may be delayed—or even denied if you choose an HMO.

For your convenience, TBT enrollment forms are posted below. Download the enrollment forms that apply to you, fill them out, and fax or mail to the TBT Plan Administration Office.

TBT Coordination of Benefits (COB) Questionnaire

If you or any of your eligible dependents have TBT medical benefits and are also covered by another group plan, the benefit payable by this Plan may be reduced. Benefit payments are coordinated between the plans so that you do not receive payment for more than 100% of the Usual, Customary and Reasonable (UCR) medical expenses for the covered treatment. The benefits payable under the Plan will not be greater than the actual amount that would have been paid if there were no other group plan involved.

Coordinated benefits cannot be determined and claims will NOT be paid until you complete the Coordination of Benefits (COB) Questionnaire (posted below) and return it to the TBT Plan Administration Office. If you have questions, please call 800-533-0119 and ask for the Claims Customer Service Unit.

A new Coordination of Benefits Questionnaire must be re-submitted every 12 months to TBT at the address shown on the form.

Extension of Benefits Disability Claim Form

If you are eligible but rendered unable to work because you become totally disabled as a result of an illness or injury, coverage for you and your covered dependents will continue for up to three months. Coverage is not automatic. You must apply for the extension of benefits by sending all the required forms and documentation to the TBT Plan Administration Office as requested. Call (800) 533-0119 and ask for the Disability Call Center as soon as your doctor determines that you will be out on disability.
