When Can You Join a Medicare Drug Plan?


               You can join a Medicare drug plan when you first become eligible for Medicare and
                                                              th
                                            th
               each year from October 15  to December 7 .

               However, if you lost your current creditable prescription drug coverage through no fault
               of your own, you will also be eligible for a two (2) month Special Enrollment Period
               (SEP) to join a Medicare drug plan.

                         What Happens to Your Current Coverage if You Decide to Join

                         a Medicare Drug Plan?


               If you decide to join a Medicare drug plan, your current Members Credit Union
               coverage will be affected.

               The prescription drug plan option available in conjunction with the medical program is
               outline below:


                                Prescription Drug Type:                 UHC Rx 2V
                              Tier 1                                         $10
                              Tier 2                                         $35
                              Tier 3                                         $60



               If you do decide to join a Medicare drug plan and drop your current Members Credit
               Union coverage, be aware that you and your dependents will be able to get this
               coverage back at annual enrollment.
