Through Promise Labor Benefits (PLB), union retirees who have no option except buying their Medicare coverage on the individual market now have access to three Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug (MAPD) group plans -designed exclusively for union retirees. These plans utilize the collective bargaining power of the largest labor coalitions in America to deliver outstanding coverage and at the best pricing.
Key benefits include:
- Plans that start at only $48.62/month.
- Nationwide Coverage: Members may see any Medicare-eligible doctor, hospital, or provider in the United States without paying a higher out-of-network rate.
- Prescription Drug Coverage for 99.6% of all Medicare-allowed Part D drugs.
- Hearing, vision, and dental benefits, as well as home visits and gym memberships.
- Continuous Open Enrollment: Funds and retirees may adopt or enroll at any time, with no annual enrollment window required.
These plans are voluntary and fully retiree-paid, allowing funds to offer meaningful benefits without incurring additional cost. Full plan administration services are included in the premiums, and all regulatory requirements are the responsibility of PLB, not the offering fund.
To clarify, Promise Plans are not a replacement for group Medicare plans already provided by your Fund. Promise Plans are explicitly for Medicare retirees who do not have access to a Fund sponsored group Medicare plan.
