HEALTHCARE BENEFITS – Gail Womack & Cynthia Pedigo, Co-Chairs
FROM THE INTEL BENEFITS OFFICE
Reminder! In 2021, the IRMP administrator will change from Cigna to Anthem. This change was effective for active employees beginning January 1, 2020. We will provide more information and support during 2021 Retiree Annual Enrollment. While we understand change can be disruptive, we have a commitment to delivering the best overall medical plans for our employees and retirees. Anthem is partnering with us to improve the experience and outcomes while managing cost.
SERMA AUTO-REIMBURSEMENT FOR NON-IRMP PREMIUMS
The SERMA auto-reimbursement feature for non-IRMP premiums saves time and allows for flexible payment and tracking options. Once it’s done, it’s done!
