Retired Employee Insurance Plan Information
The insurance plan options for UT Retired Employees vary slightly from the Active Employee insurance package. This section outlines the coverage options with notes about how the coverage transitions. Contact information for all plan vendors is located at the back of this book.
Basic Coverage Package UT and the State of Texas pays 100% of your premiums for the Basic Coverage Package, and up to 50% of the premiums for your dependents’ medical coverage. As a part of the Basic Coverage Package, you and your covered dependents over age 18 are also eligible for the Living Well Wellness Program. UT SELECT MEDICAL (WITH PRESCRIPTION DRUG)
The UT SELECT Medical PPO plan for Retired Employees is the same plan as for Active Employees.
If you have UT SELECT Medical as a Retired Employee, you and anyone covered on your plan that is eligible for Medicare will use Medicare as the primary medical insurance. Medicare-eligible participants should be enrolled in Medicare Parts A and B before you retire. Medicare-eligible retiree plan participants are enrolled in the UT SELECT Part D plan for prescription drug coverage. (See more in the Medicare section of this guide.) Non-Medicare eligible plan participants continue in the same UT SELECT Medical and Prescription Drug plan as Active employees. If your address on file is outside of Texas, New Mexico, or Washington D.C., Out of Area benefits apply. See the UT SELECT Medical Plan Guide for more information.
