FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Can you provide me with a letter of credible coverage? You can request a letter of credible coverage by emailing benefitsadministation@icuba. org Does my retiree health insurance coverage change when I, or my covered dependent, reaches age 65? Yes, when you and/or your covered dependent reach age 65, you must apply for Medicare A & B, which will become your primary health insurance coverage. Your ICUBA medical plan insurance plan will be your secondary coverage. Note: an active election is required to continue medical coverage beyond the age of 64.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS I will be turning 65 soon, what is the difference in the two plans offered to me? The Medicare supplemental plan acts a supplemental coverage, the plan will usually cover all expenses not covered by Medicare after your deductible and OOP has been met. The ICUBA medical plan functions not as supplemental but secondary coverage; once the claim has been processed by Medicare it will be sent to BCBS and the claim will be processed in line with ICUBA plan benefits.
