Wanted to join the Webex meeting this morning....

My spouse & I attended a wk ago. It said the mtg was 2 hrs but was only 1 hr & they didn’t answer any of the questions we posted so still need to make calls. I’m unclear about how much of the $3k HRA we still get (6k since we’re an IBM couple). I’m assuming we still need to pay SS for Part B (+ IRMMA if applic) AND pay the $131.50 + copays. Does anyone know??

When I went through the sign-up process I was told since I wanted the Enhanced plan, I've be getting a $131.50 subsidy? from IBM and my monthly cost would be $0. My wife, has 'access only' and no IBM Subsidy will pay the $131.50. So that subsidy is $1,578 this year. Add to that, the one-time IBM contribution for an HRA of $1,200, and those 2 are less than $3,000 I was getting.
What is unknown is IF IBM is saving any money? Was VIA paid money by IBM to service us, or was there even a kick-back to IBM. Same goes for UHC, IBM paying them to 'craft' a special plan for IBM'ers (I am not sure as a neighbor who worked for the State of NY has a 'special' UHC plan that is similar to what IBM is providing for us) or even getting some money for getting them new customers, One thing is sure, next year IBM will be paying less to us as there is no longer the 'one-time' payment replacement. Each individual will have to make a selection on the plans, and depending on where they are on the chart the subsidy it appears will be different, and well as the one-time payment. Still, over-all, to me, I think we'll come out ahead vs. this years cost for 2 secondary's, 2 Plan D's, with Dental plan, and no eyeglass subsidy. We'll never be sure though until around this time next year though. Although with the Enhanced plan there is a $750 max out of pocket for medical co-pays, there are limits on the Dental. It is possible some other things will hit us that we didn't realize, but for now, we think this will save us money? |
