Syracuse University Retiree Medical Benefits Plan participants should consider enrolling in a Medicare Part D plan to cover the cost of prescription drugs if:
- They retired on or after Jan. 1, 2006 and are Medicare-eligible; or
- They retired prior to Jan. 1, 2006 and are in the extended retiree medical benefit.
Medicare Part D plan designs are offered by private insurance companies but are highly subsidized and regulated by Medicare. More information, including side by side comparisons of all available Medicare Part D plans in your resident state, is available from Medicare.
Participants who retired prior to Jan. 1, 2006 and are in their “five-year period” with prescription drug benefits though Syracuse University should not enroll in a Medicare Part D plan.
