Common use of Through December Clause in Contracts

Through December. 31, 2014, those plans and the benefits they provide will be substantially the same as those available to Bargaining Unit Faculty as of January 1, 2014. Through December 31, 2014, the monthly premiums paid by TET Bargaining Unit Faculty will be as those specified in the October 12, 2011 – June 30, 2014 CBA for TET faculty; and the monthly premiums paid by NTE Bargaining Unit Faculty will be same as those they paid effective January 1, 2014. However, the following improvement will be effective upon execution of this agreement: If a Member receives medical services at an in-network hospital, and is subsequently charged out-of-network co-pays, co-insurance and/or deductibles (e.g., an out-of-network physician) for services they received at the in-network hospital then the Member can submit a request to Xxxxx for reimbursement that would render the Member’s costs to in- network rates. The only exception to the foregoing is when the Member explicitly and knowingly chooses an out-of-network provider from whom to receive a service at the in- network hospital.
