Members keep their active plan while on FMLA or unpaid leave. The amount unable to be deducted is added to your balance due, which is stored in HCM. This balance is automatically deducted in full from your first paycheck upon returning to work. Alternatively, you may pay it before returning or set up a payment plan. To avoid the full arrears amount being deducted from your first paycheck, contact us 2 to 3 weeks before your return-to-work date.
Paying an FMLA balance before I return to work:
Payments may be made via check, money order, or online payment. Electronic invoices are provided by request only. Checks and money orders must be made payable to Teachers Health Trust and mailed to 2950 E Rochelle Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89121.
You can make any payments toward your balance up to 15 calendar days before your return-to-work date.” To help prevent any unexpected charges on your first paycheck after returning to work, we do not recommend making direct payments during the final 15 days of your leave.
Any remaining balance will be deducted from your first check upon returning to work.
Even after you return to work, you may request to pay the balance in installments rather than a lump sum, as long as the request is made within 3 days of you returning to work. To request a payment plan, please call our offices.
What happens if I have a balance and don’t return to work?
If you do not return to work, you must pay the entire amount due to Teachers Health Trust within 30 days of your termination date.
Failure to pay back the missed premiums to Teachers Health Trust will result in retroactive termination of coverage to the effective date of your leave, and health services incurred during your leave will not be reimbursed.
