OPEIU is pleased to now offer our Medicare-eligible union retirees comprehensive Medicare Advantage plans through a trusted national partner, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield. These plans are available exclusively to retired OPEIU members and their spouses/partners and cannot be found or bought on the open Medicare market.
These plans offer enhanced services compared to the Individual Medicare market, brand name prescription drug benefits and gap (“donut hole”) coverage, nationwide access and value-added programs (like SilverSneakers® gym membership, telehealth, hearing and more).
Open enrollment ends Dec. 7.
To help you learn more about the program and decide if it’s right for you, you can watch a webinar hosted by OPEIU Oct. 6
here. You can also visit
retireehealth.unionplus.org or call the Anthem First Impressions Welcome Team at 1-833-371-1160, TTY: 711, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. ET, except holidays.
Benistar Admin Services, your plan sponsor’s administrator, will be handling everything related to enrollment in the plan and questions related to premiums.
