Retiree Medical Insurance Plan (RMIP) and Medicare FAQs

 

 

 
We had received many questions from retirees for the Nov 1 RMIP seminar.  HR has now provided us with written answers to these questions which we are sharing with you.

1818 Society Member Questions from November 1, 2011 Medical Seminar

The 1818 Society continues to get queries from members about the the Retiree Medical Insurance Plan (RMIP) provision requiring members in RMIP to join Medicare upon reaching age of 65. HRS normally sends reminders (including a flyer on RMIP and Medicare FAQs) to members during the three months preceding their 65th birthday. We are posting the FAQ prepared by HRS on our website for members ready reference and hope that this will be helpful. If you have any Quetsions and/or Comments, you can post it on Members' Corner under Medical Insurance or click here.

We have also received several inquiries about the changes mandated by the U.S. health care legislation and how they would be reflected in the RMIP. Some retirees have been especially interested in coverage for dependents under 26 years of age. We have followed up with HR and have received clarifications given below from Maureen Brookbank, Director of Employment and Compensation. Click here for more information.
