All dental, vision and excess major medical insurance inquiries
The Valley Stream Teachers’ Association Welfare Fund was created in 1976 as a result of negotiations between the Valley Stream Teachers’ Association and the four Valley Stream school districts for the purpose of providing dental insurance for most of the staff of the four districts. As the years went on, excess major medical insurance and vision care coverage were also offered. Through collective bargaining, a specific sum of money is paid by the four districts to the Welfare Fund each month to defray the cost of the insurance premiums. Currently, VSTA members with individual coverage pay no additional monies towards the Fund; while members requesting family coverage pay $15.00 per month to the Fund, regardless of the number of dependents. Our dental insurance plan is self-funded by the Welfare Fund, with J.J. Stanis & Co. our plan administrator, processing our claims and paying claimants from monies in the Fund’s account. Our excess major medical insurance and vision care coverages are provided through policies from the First Rehabilitation Insurance Company, with J.J. Stanis & Co. as our agent. All dental, vision and excess major medical insurance inquiries regarding enrollment, coverage and claims issues should be directed towards the offices of J.J. Stanis & Co. at 516-465-3900 or toll-free at 1-877-470-3715 from 8:30 AM until 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Additional information may be found on J.J. Stanis & Co.’s website. All claims should be sent to: J.J. Stanis & Co. 100 Jericho Quadrangle, Suite 101 Jericho, New York 11753 Changes in enrollment status, name and address changes and updating dependents should be submitted to your district’s health benefits office, using our “Enrollment/Change” form available from that office or downloaded from this website.
