BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVES FURTHER IMPROVEMENTS TO DENTAL PLAN Effective July 1, 2024, the Board of Trustees of the NYCDCC Welfare Fund made the following improvements to the dental plan through Anthem BlueCross BlueShield (“Anthem”): - The Annual Benefit Maximum for Active Participants/Dependents increased to $4,000 (previously $2,500). - The Annual Benefit Maximum for Retired Participants/Dependents increased to $3,000 (previously $1,500). - Coverage provided by Anthem BCBS under the “Dental Complete” network increased to 100% (previously 80% or 50% in certain instances). This brought the “Dental Complete” network in line with the “XPO” network.

If you have any questions regarding these changes, please contact Anthem at 1 (844) 852-1553.
