How The Industry Health Network Works
(For Southern California Only)
If you live in Southern California, a special network that allows you to save
on your health care costs is available to you. Here's the pitch for The Industry
Health Network (TIHN).
- TIHN has five separate Industry Health Care Centers set up for the exclusive
use of entertainment industry members and health plan participants. These
centers are conveniently located in Los Angeles (two sites), Burbank, Woodland
Hills and Valencia.
- You may use these centers for health care services if you participate in
the Regular Plan.
- TIHN benefits range from hospitalization, surgery and anesthesia to primary
care visits, laboratory and radiology services, and well-child care.
- You pay no deductible when you use TIHN providers and facilities.
- If you and your covered dependents use TIHN primary care physicians (PCPs),
providers and health centers, you can potentially save hundreds of dollars
a year because, except for hospitalization, you pay only a copay for each
visit. You don't have a deductible to meet or coinsurance to pay.
- You'll need to call for an appointment to see a PCP at one of the Industry
Health Care Centers. You'll need a written referral for services, such as
specialty care, provided outside the TIHN facilities.
- Without a referral, your standard benefits for the Regular Plan (including deductibles) will apply.
- TIHN benefits are subject to the standard maximums and limitations of the
Regular Plan.
To sum up: This is the best savings opportunity the Fund offers in Southern
California.
