HEALTH & BENEFITS – Tom Piete, Chairperson
CATASTROPHIC RX HRA – CAPPING YOUR OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS UNDER MEDICARE PART D
We received a recommendation from an Intel retiree to inform other retirees of the Intel YSA catastrophic RX program. There is evidence that it is not well known and is underutilized. This retiree utilized the program for extremely high cost of medications, that ran into the catastrophic category last year. The Catastrophic RX HRA is not tied to your IRMP enrollment or SERMA. You simply need to be enrolled in a Medicare Part D plan and be an Intel eligible retiree or dependent to request reimbursement. Click here for details.
VOLUNTEER AND DONATION COMMITTEE – Ben Manny & Annette Bachmeier, Co-chairs
