Subject: Fwd: Questions about new voluntary plan!

Since I saw an email of ours to Molly on the web today, I thought that maybe you did not receive my questions concerning the new Medicare Advantage plan. So here they are below.
Thank you for a prompt answer,

Dear Mr. Asbury:
As an STRS retiree, I have many questions about this new voluntary Medicare Advantage Plan that was mentioned at the May Board meeting.

1. Who would be the provider for this Medicare Advantage Plan-Medical Mutual or Aetna?

2. Would retirees still be required to pay the Medicare Part B premium?

3. Would retirees be required to use just in- network providers?

4. Is this plan similar to the other Private Medicare Advantage plans that are out for those over age 65?

5. What would STRS's responsibility be in this new plan?

Will have more questions later,

Shirlee Zerkel
