Important Notice from Altius Health Plans About Our Prescription Drug Coverage and MedicareThe Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has determined that the Altius Health Plans’ prescription drug coverage is, onaverage, expected to pay out as much as the standard Medicare prescription drug coverage will pay for all plan participantsand is considered Creditable Coverage. This means you do not need to enroll in Medicare Part D and pay extra forprescription drug coverage. If you decide to enroll in Medicare Part D later, you will not have to pay a penalty for lateenrollment as long as you keep your FEHB coverage.However, if you choose to enroll in Medicare Part D, you can keep your FEHB coverage and Altius Health Plans willcoordinate benefits with Medicare.Remember: If you are an annuitant and you cancel your FEHB coverage, you may not re-enroll in the FEHB Program.Please be advisedIf you lose or drop your FEHB coverage and go 63 days or longer without prescription drug coverage that’s at least as goodas Medicare’s prescription drug coverage, your monthly Medicare Part D premium will go up at least 1% per month for everymonth that you did not have that coverage. For example, if you go 19 months without Medicare Part D prescription drugcoverage, your premium will always be at least 19 percent higher than what many other people pay. You will have to pay thishigher premium as long as you have Medicare prescription drug coverage. In addition, you may have to wait until the nextAnnual Coordinated Election Period October 15 through December 7 to enroll in Medicare Part D.Medicare’s Low Income BenefitsFor people with limited income and resources, extra help paying for a Medicare prescription drug plan is available.Information regarding this program is available through the Social Security Administration (SSA) online at www.socialsecurity.gov, or call the SSA at 800-772-1213 (TTY: 800-325-0778).You can get more information about Medicare prescription drug plans and the coverage offered in your area from theseplaces: Visit www.medicare.gov for personalized help.
