Dear Members,

We hope you are all keeping safe and well and complying with all the Covid safety measures. Last Wednesday (28th October) we had our 50th Anniversary General Assembly on a virtual basis, using Zoom technology. For those of you that might have missed the proceedings or would like to relive the event you can see the webcast on the FFOA website: www.ffoa-web.org

We have been informed by Cigna and the RBA Social Security Units that:

COVID-19 related treatment: Extension of BMIP/MMBP full coverage until 31 January 2021

Social Security, informs that under the BMIP/MMBP medical insurance plans, Cigna will further expand coverage for all COVID-19 treatment by waiving participants' cost-sharing until 31 January 2021.

For any member diagnosed with COVID-19, the participant’s cost-sharing will be waived, whether provided in an in-patient or out-patient context, and within or outside of Cigna network, except for care provided in the United States, where the waiver applies to in-network providers only. Please note that Covid 19 tests are only reimbursed if accompanied by a doctor’s prescription identifying the need for such a test. Tests for air travel are not reimbursed.

We hope that this extended coverage will not have to be used.

Keep safe and well, 

FFOA Secretariat
