Overview

The Retiree Medical Insurance Plan or RMIP is a comprehensive health insurance plan operated by the World Bank Group for former Headquarters staff and their eligible dependents. The RMIP assists members in meeting medical expenses of certain treatment/services, facilities and supplies. The MIP is a self- insured plan funded by Bank Group and member contributions.

The MIP contracts with Insurance Administrators who have fiduciary responsibility for reimbursement of the plan benefits. The basis for most MIP claim decisions is medical necessity and determination of medical necessity is solely the responsibility of the Insurance Administrators, currently Aetna (for US based members) or Vanbreda (for non-US-based members) and Medco for prescription drugs purchased in the US.

See Checklists for eligibility and enrollment details on all plans.
