To HHH NYSHIP Retirees on Medicare:

WARNING ABOUT CHANGING MEDICARE PLANS

It happens every year… You will receive messages from Medicare, see many ads on television, and hear them on the radio.  Changing your healthcare coverage from your current NYSHIP (or HIP) Supplemental Policy through HHH to another is always an option.  However, I would like to make you aware of the following:

 1.     Only retirees with a healthcare policy through HHH are eligible for the Medicare Part B Reimbursement Program from HHH.

 2.     "SilverScript State of NY" obtained through NYSHIP is your Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Coverage.  Individuals can only have ONE Medicare Part D Plan.  If your Medicare Eligible Dependent (i.e., spouse) signs up for another Part D Plan, he/she will be dropped from your NYSHIP policy.  If you sign up for another Part D Plan, your entire NYSHIP policy will be cancelled – including your dependents.

 3.     If you are satisfied with your current plan – don’t change it.

At the end of every year, I receive questions about changing to another Medicare Supplemental or a Medicare Advantage plan.  I hope you find this information more helpful than confusing.
