IU Blue Retiree Plan SummaryThis is a summary description of Medicare and Blue Retiree coverages. For the most current information regarding Medicare coverage and additional details, visit www.medicare.gov on the web or call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227).

Medicare Complement Benefits

When Medicare pays a portion of the cost of a medical service, the Blue Retiree plan coordinates with Medicare to pay all or most of what Medicare does not pay, up to the Medicare-approved amount. Providers who participate with Medicare accept assignment, meaning they agree to accept the Medicare-approved amount as full payment for Medicare-covered services. When other providers are used, the Medicare recipient may have additional costs.

Major Medical BenefitsMedicare does not cover some medical services. The Major Medical Benefit pays some of the costs not covered by Medicare. Also, when services are provided by doctors, facilities, or suppliers that do not accept Medicare assignment (non-participating providers), the provider can bill for excess charges above what Medicare allows. The Major Medical Benefit covers some of those costs.

These benefits have a $100 deductible per person each year and a maximum annual out-of-pocket expense of $600 per person that includes both deductible and coinsurance. There is a $1,000,000 lifetime limit on Major Medical benefits. Since these are not Medicare benefits, Anthem will use its own standards for determining medical necessity and allowed amounts, not Medicare’s.

Covered Services Medicare Pays Blue Retiree Pays Member Pays

Continuous inpatient days beyond an additional 365 $0 80% 20%

Skilled nursing facility after the 100th day $0 80% 20%

Services outside the U.S. $0 100% 0%

Excess charges for providers that don’t accept Medicare assignment1 $0

Up to the limiting charge2 of 115% of the Medicare-

allowable Amount

$0 for services with a limiting charge2

Out-of-hospital skilled private duty nursing, and visiting nurse’s association

$080% up to $5,000 maximum per year

20% and all costs above the maximum benefit

Accidental dental $0 80% 20%

Morbid obesity $0 80% 20%

Doctors’ care including visits in the office or while inpatient

80% 20% $0

1 Providers who haven’t signed a contract with Medicare to accept assignment can charge you for amounts in excess of Medicare’s Allowed Amount. Most doctors, providers, and suppliers accept assignment, but you should always check to make sure.

2 There is a limiting charge on what non-participating providers can bill Medicare enrollees—15 percent over what Medicare pays the nonparticipating provider. The limiting charge does not apply to all Medicare-covered services, like some durable medical equipment.

PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY AND KEEP IT WHERE YOU CAN FIND IT.

This notice has information about prescription drug coverage available for people with Medicare Part D. If you are not already enrolled in Medicare D prescription drug coverage, it can help you decide whether or not you want to enroll. If you are enrolled in Medicare D, it will give you information about when you can change your Medicare D plan. The end of this notice provides resources where you can get assistance to make decisions about your prescription drug coverage.

1. Medicare prescription drug coverage became available in 2006 to everyone with Medicare through Medicare Part D and Medicare Advantage Plan that offers prescription drug coverage. All Medicare drug plans provide at least a standard level of coverage set by Medicare. Some plans may also offer more coverage for a higher monthly premium.

2. The Blue Retiree health care plan sponsored by Indiana University does not provide prescription drug coverage. This allows you to take advantage of a Medicare prescription plan.

3. Most Indiana University Retirees covered under the Blue Retiree health care plan have already enrolled in Medicare prescription coverage. If you are not enrolled, you have decisions to make that may affect how much you pay for that coverage, depending on if and when you enroll. Read this notice carefully - it explains your options.

PAGE 1 OF 2

Important Notice from Indiana University AboutPrescription Drug Coverage and Medicare

IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY ENROLLED IN MEDICARE PRESCRIPTION DRUG COVERAGE – CONSIDER ENROLLING NOW.

Because the Indiana University-sponsored Retiree medical plan coverage does not include prescription drug coverage, you should consider enrolling in a Medicare drug plan if you have not already done so. Individuals can join a Medicare drug plan when they first become eligible for Medicare and each year from October 15th through December 7th. Dependents leaving employer/union coverage may be eligible for a two (2) month Special Enrollment Period (SEP) to join a Medicare drug plan.

If you decide not to join a Medicare drug plan when you are first eligible you may pay a higher premium (a penalty) if you join a plan later and you may pay that higher premium as long as you have Medicare prescription drug coverage.

If you go 63 continuous days or longer without prescription drug coverage, your premium may go up by at least 1% of the Medicare base beneficiary premium per month for every month that you did not have that coverage. For example, if you go nineteen months without creditable coverage, your premium may consistently be at least 19% higher than the Medicare base beneficiary premium. You may have to pay this higher premium (a penalty) as long as you have Medicare prescription drug coverage. In addition, you may have to wait until the following October to join.

If you are not already enrolled in Medicare D Prescription Coverage, you need to make a decision.

When you make your decision, you should also compare your current coverage, including which drugs are covered, with the coverage and cost of the plans offering Medicare prescription drug coverage in your area.

If you are already enrolled in Medicare D Prescription Coverage, you may want to take this opportunity to evaluate your current coverage.

You may want to review the prescription plans that will be available for 2020 and their cost so you can decide if you want to keep your current Medicare prescription coverage or change to another prescription plan. If you wish to change plans, you can only do so during Medicare’s annual enrollment period each year between October 15 and December 7.
