IATSE Local 728 COVID-19 Workers’ Compensation Update

Since St Joseph’s Medical Center is frequently used by members using Anthem Blue Cross from MPIPHP, they send us updates to pass on. 
They want to share some important information that could be beneficial to our health and well being.
On April 22, 2020, Gov. Gavin Newsom lifted restrictions at hospitals, allowing surgical procedures to resume.
This was welcomed news to many members who have been unnecessarily living in pain or discomfort from issues that could be surgically treated but unable to have done. We can now reach out to our physicians to schedule surgery.
