This is to compliment Beacon Medicare for the excellent service it has provided.
You have always quickly responded to my questions. One time I sent an e-mail on a Sunday morning and you answered on Sunday afternoon! On two or three occasions your office contacted our doctors here in South Carolina to straighten out billing questions.
I really appreciate your service and hope the Retired Salaried Employees Association continues to keep you as our agent.
~Frank Cinami Electric Boat Retiree
This year marks the 12th year of the plan. For the last eleven years, we have had the pleasure of working with your Electric Boat Representatives - the MDA, the MTC, the Retired Salaried Employee’s Association and Electric Boat to design, communicate, implement, and service a Retiree Medical and Prescription Drug Plan for Electric Boat Retirees, widows and spouses who are age 65 or older and covered under Medicare Parts A & B. At the present time, there are over 2,700 Electric Boat retirees and spouses throughout the country participating in the program.
The program has over five different medical plans, two different prescription drug plans and two dental plans in 2010 depending on your residence in the US.
Important things to remember prior to enrolling into the Electric Boat Medical and Prescription plan programs:
-
To participate in any of the following Medical programs you must be enrolled in Medicare Part A and B.
-
The Prescription Drug plan is available in conjunction with any of the Medical programs that are being offered. * Please note the unlimited drug plan is offered at initial time of enrollment, unless a retiree has been covered under an employer group benefit plan through a spouse (please see more detail in the Question and Answer section below).
Other situations or questions:
-
If I currently have other coverage through an employer or through my spouse, can I elect not to participate in the Electric Boat Medical and Prescription Drug plan, and will able to elect coverage at a later date?
- Yes, you will be able to waive coverage and enroll at the time you lose your existing coverage. This is the only exception for participation in the unlimited drug plan.
- If I enrolled in another Medical and Prescription plan and would like to cancel that coverage and join the EB plan, what are my options?
-
You can elect enrollment into the program, if you chose not to participate at the time of our eligibility through EB, you can enroll in any medical plan but are only allowed to join the limited Prescription drug program.
Our hope is to provide you with enough insight and enough information into the pros and cons of the different plans so that you may make an informed decision about which plan options are most appropriate for you.
