What’s New for Retirees in 2008!
Effective Jan. 1, 2008, for retirees enrolled in one of the UnitedHealthcare (UHC) Premier and Senior PPO medical plans, the administrator for your prescription drug plan is changing from PharmaCare to Catalyst Rx. For detailed information, go to the Enrollment Information link, 2008 Open Enrollment Retiree Booklet, and locate UnitedHealthcare Plans information. This change does not apply to retirees enrolled in the UnitedHealthcare (UHC) High Deductible Health Plan.
New combo families (mixed Medicare primary and non-Medicare primary) enrollment will be restricted. This means new enrollment to the Presbyterian MediCare PPO and Lovelace Senior Plan is only offered to individuals and families where all family members are Medicare Primary. Families already enrolled in the combination plans (UHC Premier PPO Plan with Presbyterian MediCare, or CIGNA Premier PPO/CIGNA In-Network paired with Lovelace Senior Plan) will be grandfathered.
It’s time again to make your benefit election decisions for the coming calendar year. Retirees must make changes by sending in an Open Enrollment Change Form by November 9. All benefit elections take effect January 1.
