Are you new to Medicare? Important reminder from STRS
New Medicare Enrollees Should Notify STRS Ohio
From STRS Ohio News, October 2005
If you’re a new Medicare enrollee, it’s important that you notify STRS Ohio by sending a copy of your Medicare card. Once Medicare coverage is verified, STRS Ohio adjusts your health care premiums accordingly. If you fail to send a copy of your or your dependent’s Medicare card to STRS Ohio, your premiums will be substantially higher.
The month you become eligible for Medicare Parts A & B, your STRS Ohio health plan will not be responsible for paying charges normally paid by Medicare. If you are eligible for Medicare Part B, you must enroll in Medicare Part B or benefits will be reduced by the amount Medicare would have paid.
For information about health care benefits covered by Medicare, call STRS Ohio toll-free at 1-888-227-7877.
