25 IU Retiree Status Medical Election / Premium Examples Anthem Blue Retiree Plan

26 Scenario #1 Kate, age 65, is an IU employee when she leaves IU with IU Retiree Status. Her spouse, Mike, is a retired high school teacher age 63 and is on Kate s IU employee medical and dental plans. Kate and Mike both elect IU Retiree coverage. Kate enrolls in the 65+ IU Blue Retiree plan Mike enrolls in the Under 65 Anthem HDHP plan When Mike turns 65, he switches to the 65+ IU Blue Retiree plan the same plan as Kate

27 Kate and Mike s Monthly Premiums (2018) Plan Kate s Premium Mike s Premium Medicare A $0.00 $0.00 Medicare B* $ $0.00 Medicare D (Rx)** $30.00 $0.00 Blue Retiree $ $0.00 PPO HDHP $0.00 $ Total $ $ Total: $679/month *Medicare B rates for 2018 **Medicare D plans vary in coverage and premium: $15 to $152

28 Scenario #2 Paul and Jane both work at IU, each with IU coverage. Paul is age 66 when he leaves IU with Retiree Status. Jane, age 62, will continue working until age 65; no IU Retiree Status Jane puts Paul on her IU plan when he retirees (he delays Medicare). When Jane leaves IU at age 65, she and Paul each enroll in Medicare A, B, and D and the IU Blue Retiree plan. (Paul has IU Retiree Status and he s been continuously covered by an IU plan.)

29 Jane and Paul s Monthly Premiums (2018) Plan Jane s Premium Paul s Premium Medicare A $0.00 $0.00 Medicare B* $ $ Medicare D (Rx)** $30.00 $30.00 Blue Retiree $ $ Total $ $ Total: $698/month * Medicare B rates for 2018 **Medicare D plans vary in coverage and premium: $15 to $152

30 Scenario #3 Dave, age 66, terms from IU with IU Retiree Status. His spouse, Wes, also works at IU. Wes puts Dave on his IU plan when Dave retires Wes later takes a job with Lilly. He and Dave could enroll in IU retiree coverage at that time, (since Dave maintained Continuous IU Coverage), but instead they enroll with Wes new employer. When Wes leaves Lilly at age 65, neither he nor Dave are eligible for IU-sponsored retiree coverage. Dave has IU Retiree Status, but was not continuously covered through IU.
