Teamsters self insures through plan premiums. BCBS just administers the plan. Allegiant switched other groups because it's cheaper for them that way.
There are certain other benefits not affiliated with BCBS. For example, free imaging (MRI, CT, PET) when you used their approved vendor. Also free labs when you use Quest. Dental and eyecare are average. One benefit we lost switching to Teamcare is adult orthodontics.
