To be medicare eligible you must be at least 65 years old. There are some cases where we have members who are eligible. Here is some info:
-If you or your spouse are eligible you should elect medicare as soon as you become eligible. The premiums you pay are based on when you enroll, so waiting will start you at a higher premium.
-If you or your spouse sign on for medical benefits through medicare you should submit your premiums to the Board for reimbursement based on our contract:
Article 8 Section A.8 Medicare
The Board will also provide Medicare coverage as elected by those 65 and over.
medicare will be paid annually to the individual.
-If you or your spouse have medical coverage through medicare then the board benefits are your primary coverage and medicare
becomes secondary coverage.
