Firefighter Criteria Changes
The IMWCA Firefighter criteria have been in place since 2001 and have helped reduce the number of fatalities and severe injuries to firefighters during that time. Over the last 20 years several changes to the firefighting service occurred, such as Firefighter I and Firefighter 2 certifications, that have made certain aspects of the criteria redundant. The IMWCA Board of Trustees has adjusted the criteria at the June 2022 meeting to reflect the current situation.
In addition, the requirements for physicals for firefighters have also been updated to reflect IOSHA interpretations and to clarify what will qualify as an acceptable physical for IMWCA compliance as of October 1, 2022, and how they will be documented.

Pharmacy Provider Change
Splashlight RX Merges with Prodigy RX

With this merger, pharmacy benefits will now be administered by Prodigy RX effective November 1st. Going forward, employees will receive pharmacy cards and information on utilizing Prodigy RX. Employees who currently have a prescription card through Splashlight RX will receive a new card from Prodigy RX along with an informational letter.
