State Health Plan/Medicare Part D and YOU!

Beginning January 2006, the Federal Government began offering a prescription drug benefit Medicare Part D, to all who are Medicare eligible. For employees who are currently on the State Health Plan, the Plan's prescription drug benefit offers a much richer benefit than the benefits being offered by Medicare or any Medicare Prescription Drug Plan. With the State Health Plan you have no deductibles for prescription drugs and your total out of pocket limit (dollar amt. of co-pays you must pay) is $2,500 annually. As a State Health Plan member, you do not need to sign up for any Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plan. The State Health Plan will continue to provide its current prescription drug benefit plan for all members who are Medicare eligible. Your State Health Plan prescription drug benefit is much richer than the Medicare Part D benefit. If you have questions, please call customer services at 800-422-4658.
