Take it from one of our longtime Relief Association members, Retired LAFD Captain II Rick Godinez, the Los Angeles Firemen’s Relief Association’s PPO Medical Plan is one of the best available. Watch as he explains why.
He’s done it all. Serving as a senior chaplain, a captain II, a Relief Association Trustee, the 2019 Firefighter of the Year, and much more! Rick is dedicated and passionate about firefighters helping firefighters.
With 36 years of dedicated service to the City of Los Angeles, Rick also served on the Incident Management Team where he held positions of Plans Manager, Public Information Officer, and Public Affairs Specialist. During this time, he responded to numerous deployments including the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks, Salt Lake City Winter Olympic Games, Haiti Earthquake, and Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Gustav, Hannah, Ike, Harvey and Irma. If anyone knows how important a medical plan should be, it’s Rick.
Since 1906, Los Angeles City Firefighters have entrusted the L.A. Firemen’s Relief Association to be there for them and those they leave behind. The needs of firefighters are unique because the profession poses many dangers and consequences. Founded on the mission of “firefighters helping firefighters,” the Relief offers programs and assistance for firefighters and their families.
The LAFRA PPO Medical Plan is designed by our LAFD firefighters for our LAFD firefighters. No insurance company gets in the middle of your care or decides what your coverage looks like. Enrollment for a firefighter member, along with one dependent is FREE. And you do not need to meet a high deductible before benefits apply.
The plan offers extraordinary coverage, including long-term care, plus a wellness plan with free gym memberships and more. It is your chance to make sure you have the best medical coverage at the lowest possible cost. The plan allows you to use any provider and offers an unlimited lifetime maximum.
The plan covers most in-network benefits at 100% after a minimal $15 copay. If you or your qualifying family members are not already covered by the Relief PPO Medical Plan, be sure to sign-up during the next Open Enrollment period, usually held each April and October.
