Penn retirees will have the opportunity to make changes to their health benefits during the Retiree Annual Selection Period from Monday, October 29 to Thursday, November 8, 2007. Eligible retirees should have already received personalized enrollment packets at their homes, including information on changes for the upcoming plan year, how to make coverage changes, and specifics about the benefits offered.
An information session will be held on November 1, from 10 a.m.–2 p.m. in the Golkin Room, Houston Hall. Retirees will be able to speak with representatives from Human Resources, Penn’s medical and prescription drug vendors, Medicare and the Social Security Administration.
Medicare-eligible retirees need to be aware of an important plan change this year: beginning January 1, 2008, the Aetna Medicare-Advantage HMO plan will be discontinued and replaced with the Aetna Medicare Open – Private Fee for Service plan. Retirees currently enrolled in the Aetna Medicare-Advantage HMO plan will automatically be enrolled in the Aetna Medicare Open plan if they do not make a new election during the Annual Selection Period.
Retirees must return a Retiree Health Enrollment Form by Thursday, November 8, 2007 in order to make changes to their health benefits for the 2008 plan year (January 1, 2008–December 31, 2008). If you have any questions, please contact Retiree Assist (Penn’s call center for retiree health benefits) at 1-866-789-7366, Monday–Friday, 9 a.m.–5 p.m.
