Retirees and/or dependents who are Medicare-eligible will be enrolled in the Cigna True Choice Core Medicare (PPO) plan. This is a Medicare Advantage Plan administered by Cigna. Retirees on this plan should utilize providers that accept Medicare assignment and are willing to bill the Cigna Medicare Advantage Plan.
Medicare eligibility begins for a retiree or dependent when they turn 65 or at such time they become eligible due to Social Security disability. It is the retiree's responsibility to apply for Medicare and submit a copy of the Medicare card showing enrollment in Parts A & B to Employee Benefits. Medicare recommends starting the enrollment process for Parts A & B three months prior to the Medicare eligibility start date or loss of active coverage. Visit website for additional information about applying for Medicare.
