MILA MANAGED HEALTH CARE TRUST FUND 2017 UPDATE: The MILA Managed Health Care Trust Fund is a collectively- bargained, multi-employer health plan. Its Board of Trustees, with representation from both management and labor, administers the MILA National Health Plan to provide medical, dental, vision and behavioral health coverage, as well as prescription drug benefits for more than 75,000 people (active and retired ILA members, their qualified dependents, and certain other nonbargaining unit employees who pay a premium for their coverage). Rising healthcare costs and future trends continue to be a major concern for MILA. The MILA administration, along with the MILA Trustees, successfully negotiated new contracts with the medical, dental and pharmacy vendors, resulting in cost savings over the next three years. Continued focus on high- cost areas has proven beneficial, as MILA's medical and prescription cost increases came in significantly below the national average for 2017. The MILA Board of Trustees and Staff are committed to meeting and exceeding the established standards required to ensure the continued success of the MILA program.
