This year marks the 11th year of the plan. For the last ten 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 2009 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 your in or out of state Question and Answer).
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.
- 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 capped 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.
