The Plan is administered by a Board of Trustees consisting of eleven (11) Trustees representing Employees and three (3) representing the Employer. The Board of Trustees meets on the second Wednesday of each month at the offices of HealthComp Administrators. The Fresno City Employees Health and Welfare Trust Plan is designed to give participants control of their own health care. Participants have freedom of choice in choosing the Hospital and Physician they wish to use. However, the Plan offers a considerable financial advantage to participants if the provider selected has contracted with Blue Shield of California.
