Legal — Filing a Claim

Claims for legal services must submitted within 1 year from the date of service.  If the Plan does not receive a billing within 1 year from the date of service, all of the charges will be denied by the Plan.  See Part I of the General Provisions of the Summary Plan Description for details.
 

To use the Plan and file your claim:

1. Check to see if the services you need are covered by the Plan
   Review the Summary Plan Description or contact the Administrative Office.  If you are unsure about your eligibility or whether the matter is covered, please call the Administrative Office at (907) 276-1246 and ask to speak with a Legal Representative.
    
2. Select an attorney 
   You may use either:
   a.  Participating attorney (from the list of participating Law Firms)
   b.  Non-participating attorney
    
3. Arrange an appointment
   Once you select an attorney, call and arrange for an appointment.  Be sure to let them know you are using the Alaska Electrical Legal Plan.  An attorney will need to file an Attorney Intake Form. A participating attorney will have these forms at their office.  If you choose a non-participating attorney, call the Administrative Office before your appointment to request necessary information to be forwarded to your attorney.
    
4. Complete a form
   You must fill out a Participant's Statement Form and submit it to the Administrative Office.  This form may be downloaded and it is also available at the Administrative Office.
