Update
from Cone Insurance on Med Supp G:
2019 Important Transamerica Supplemental Retiree Plan Design
Clarification
|
|
Transamerica Supplemental
Retiree Medical
Plan G with $20 Copay for Doctors Visits in 2019
|
|
Retirees enrolling in the
Transamerica Plan G for 2019 will pay up to a $20 for an
office visit copay, other than when they are having a preventative care
checkup. This is contrary to what we have communicated to you for the
Plan G in 2019.
As you will recall, on the
Medicare Conference calls, as well as other communications for the 2019
plan year, we have stated there was no $20 copay required in the Plan G in
2019. That was incorrect. The information received from Benistar
regarding this issue by Cone Retiree Healthcare was addressed and while
Benistar verified this was a Plan G, they did not make us aware that the
"Transamerica Plan G" does not exactly follow the "Standard
Plan G" outlined by Medicare causing this confusion on our part. Just
as some Plan F plan designs you find on the individual market contain a
deductible and are known as a "High Deductible Plan F" plans.
Cone Retiree Healthcare Group will be posting "Transamerica Plan
G" plan design we received from Transamerica for the 2019 plans on our
website, www.mymedplans.com clearly
outlining what is covered and what is not. The only difference in what has
been communicated and what you will see is the addition of the $20 copay
for the doctors visits for the Transamerica Plan G.
We realize that for some of
you, this was one of the reasons you may have changed from a Plan F to the
Plan G for 2019 and want to make it clear there will be a $20 copay
required if you remain enrolled in the Plan G for 2019 for doctors visits
outside the preventative care checkup. Transamerica has told us the $20
copay was also part of the plan in 2018, therefore it was not a new
addition to the cost of the plan for those enrolled in the Plan G for 2019.
If you have based your decision on moving or selecting the Plan G through
one of the Trust for 2019 and would like to change your selection, you can
contact Benistar and they will be happy to assist you in selecting another
options. There contact information is 1-800 236-4782.
We sincerely apologize for
the mistake that was made in communicating this information on the
Transamerica plan design provided during the 2019 enrollment process. Since
we have just recently received the full plan design in a document, we have
identified the mistake. We have had discussions with both Transamerica and
Benistar and learned that Transamerica has their own "Plan G' that
does have this variation from the "Standard Medicare Plan G" referred
to in the individual market by other Medicare providers. We will be posting
the plan design for your review this afternoon, in its entirety on the
website, showing the $20 copay and no other deviation from what we have
described in our past communications to you.
We recognize this is late
notice in providing you this important information and apologize for the
late notice of this change to the plan design previously communicated
however, we were just made aware of the difference in what has been
communicated and what the plan design shows for the "Transamerica Plan
G". If you have any additional questions or would like to speak to
someone regarding this clarification or make a change to your plan
selection in 2019, please contact Benistar, the call center at 1-800-236-4782.
We appreciate your
understanding, it was never our intention to provide you with inaccurate
information and we had gone to great lengths to make sure we got it right,
before passing it on to you, we thought!
Thanks again for your
continued support and as always, you can contact me, Cathy Cone with any
issues you may have regarding this matter at 713-541-8842. While I will not
be the party to contact to change your benefit option, that is Benistar, I
can certainly answer any questions you may have regarding the issues of
this notification.
