Injunction issued for retiree prescription drug coverage

Mon, 15 Oct 2018 11:11:22 -0400

We received an update from the Department of Budget and Management Employee Benefits Division regarding prescription coverage for Medicare eligible retirees. Specifically, in response to the court order issued on October 10, 2018 prescription drug coverage for Medicare-eligible retirees will extend beyond December 31, 2018.

This means impacted retirees DO NOT have to enroll in a Medicare Part D plan for 2019 and may continue the coverage they have now into 2019 and at the same premium they are currently paying. Details will follow in a notice mailed to retirees' homes.

We will continue to provide updates in the open enrollment section of the Human Resources website as they become available.
