This is a combinedpremium for your Part D and HCPP Part B Plan & Medicare Part A & B Secondary Plan. Youmust also continue to pay your Medicare Part B premium to remain a member of the plan(unless your Part B premium is paid for you by Medicaid or another third party).Members pay a combined premium for all Medicare Plans each month. Because the premiumsare combined, Iron Road Healthcare members are not eligible for premium withhold from theRRB. Iron Road Healthcare charges a 20 service fee for any premium payments rejected forany reason.There are two ways to pay your plan premium.Option One – pay quarterly: Pay your plan premium quarterly (3 months at a time) by check ormoney order. If you pay by check or money order, we must receive your payment by the first ofthe month of every January, April, July, and October beginning with January 1, 2022.Option Two – pay monthly: Monthly payments must be made through automatic bank accountwithdrawals. We offer payment of your combined Iron Road Healthcare Medicare Plans’premiums monthly if you have the amount automatically deducted from your bank account. Ifyou do not have a checking account, you can use your savings account. We cannot acceptmonthly payments sent directly to us by check or money order for monthly payments.If you have any questions about signing up for the automatic premium payment option, toreceive an authorization form, your plan premiums, or the different ways to pay them, pleasecall Iron Road Healthcare at 1-800-547-0421, Monday - Friday, 7:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. MountainTime.In some situations, your plan premium could be less.There are programs to help people with limited resources pay for their drugs. Chapter 2 explainsmore about these programs. If you qualify for one of these programs, enrolling might reduceyour monthly plan premium.If you are already enrolled and getting help from one of these programs, some of thepayment information in this Evidence of Coverage may not apply to you. You will receive aseparate notice that explains your drug coverage. If you are already enrolled and are gettinghelp from one of these programs and do not receive this notice, please call OptumRx and askfor your “Low Income Subsidy Rider.” The Low-Income Subsidy Rider (LIS) is a separate noticefrom this Evidence of Coverage for people who receive Extra Help, which is a federal programthat pays some of the costs for prescription drug coverage.In some situations, your plan premium could be more.Some members are required to pay a Late Enrollment Penalty (LEP) because they did not join aMedicare drug plan when they first became eligible, or because they had a continuous period of63 days or more when they did not have their creditable coverage. “Creditable” means the drugcoverage is expected to pay, on average, at least as much as Medicare’s standard prescription8

Chapter 1: Getting started as a memberdrug coverage. For these members, the plan’s monthly premium may be higher. It will be themonthly plan premium plus the amount of their LEP.If you are required to pay the LEP, the amount of your penalty depends on how long you waitedbefore you enrolled in prescription drug coverage, or how many months you were without drugcoverage after you became eligible. You can find more information about the LEP in Chapter 4.Note: If you have an LEP, it may be part of your plan premium. If you do not pay the part of yourpremium that is the LEP, you could be disenrolled for failure to pay your plan premium.What happens if you do not pay your plan premiums, or do not pay them on time?If your plan premiums are past due, we will tell you in writing within 15 days. Medicare requiresus to disenroll you from our plan after the second month of failure to pay your past-due planpremiums. If you are disenrolled from our plan for any reason including non-payment of yourpremium, you may not have another opportunity to enroll again. Also, if you are disenrolled forthis reason, you will not be able to enroll in another Medicare Prescription Drug Plan until thenext Annual Coordinated Enrollment Period, unless you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period.If you do not qualify for a Special Enrollment Period or have another source of creditableprescription drug coverage, you may have to pay a late enrollment penalty the next time youenroll in a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan or a Medicare Advantage Plan with prescription drugcoverage.If you are disenrolled from the Part D Plan, you will also be disenrolled from the Iron RoadHealthcare HCPP Part B Plan & Medicare Part A & B Secondary Plan.Many members are required to pay other Medicare premiumsSome people pay an extra amount for Part D because of their yearly income, this is knownIncome Related Monthly Adjustment Amounts (IRMAA). If your income is greater than 88,000for an individual (or married individuals filing separately) or greater than 176,000 for marriedcouples, you must pay an extra amount directly to the government (not the Medicare plan)for your Medicare Part D coverage. If you are required to pay the extra amount but do not, you will be disenrolled from theplan by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and your prescription drugcoverage.If you have to pay an extra amount, Social Security (not your Medicare plan) will sendyou a letter telling you what that extra amount will be.You can find more information about Part D premiums based on income in Chapter 4.

Chapter 1: Getting started as a memberSECTION 5Please keep your member records up to dateSection 5.1How to help make sure we have accurate information about youThe pharmacists in the plan’s network need to have correct information about you.

We protect your personal health information as required by these laws.SECTION 7How other insurance works with our planSection 7.1Plans pay in a certain order that depends on circumstancesWhen you have other insurance (like employer group health coverage), there are rules set byMedicare that decide whether our plan or your other insurance pays first. The insurance thatpays first is called the “primary payer” and pays up to the limits of its coverage. The one thatpays second, called the “secondary payer,” only pays if there are costs left uncovered by theprimary payer. The secondary payer may not pay all of the uncovered costs.10

Chapter 1: Getting started as a memberThese rules apply for employer or union group health plan coverage: If you have retiree coverage, Medicare pays first. If your group health plan coverage is based on your or a family member’s currentemployment, who pays first depends on your age, the number of people employed byyour employer, and whether you have Medicare based on age, disability, or End-StageRenal Disease (ESRD).oIf you are under 65 and disabled, and you or your family member is still working,your group health plan pays first if the employer has 100 or more employees, or ispar of a multiple-employer plan in which at least one employer has more than 100employees.oIf you are over 65 and you or your spouse is still working, your group health planpays first if the employer has 20 or more employees, or is part of a multipleemployer plan in which at least one employer has more than 20 employees. If youhave Medicare because of ESRD, your group health plan will pay first for the first 30months for peritoneal and the first 33 months for hemodialysis after you becomeeligible for Medicare.These types of coverage usually pay first for services related to them: No-fault insurance (including automobile insurance) Liability (including automobile insurance) Black lung benefits Workers’ compensationNote: Medicaid and TRICARE never pay first for Medicare-covered services. They only payafter Medicare, employer group health plans, and/or Medigap have paid.If you have other insurance, tell your doctor, hospital, and pharmacy. If you have questionsabout who pays first, or if you need to update your insurance information, please call OptumRx.Our contact information is on the front cover of this booklet. You may need to give your planmember ID number to your other insurers (once you have confirmed their identity) so your billsare paid correctly and on time.11
