Final data report
The final data report, which was released on January 14, is available through the Message Center. The report was provided to all cooperatives in the NRECA Medical Plan and to those that sponsor a health reimbursement arrangement administered by Cooperative Benefit Administrators. Report notifications were sent through the Message Center to the primary benefits administrator, as indicated in NRECA’s records, for the subgroups he or she administers.

If you haven’t done so already, check the Message Center for your co-op’s report.
