How The Plan Works…
As a Non-Medicare participant you and your eligible spouse may choose from two retirement medical plans. All options provide discounted prescription benefits.
What You Need To Do…
As an eligible spouse of a retiree you must complete an enrollment form for the plan of your choice. As a retiree you are automatically enrolled in the Trust Indemnity Plan and life benefits. If you elect a PPO option you can do so by filling out a PPO enrollment form available here, and returning it to: G.M.P. – Employers Retiree Trust – PPO Enrollment 5245 Big Pine Way, S.E. Fort Myers, FL 33907-5998 Phone (239) 936-6242.
As a Non-Medicare participant in the Trust Indemnity Plan, initially you may change to a PPO option at any time. If you elect the PPO and later want to opt out, you can do so at any time, and return to the Trust Indemnity Plan. You must notify the Trust office in writing of your intent to terminate your PPO coverage. If you choose to re-enroll in the PPO option at a later date, you must wait two years from January 1 following the date you drop out of the PPO option. For instance, if you decide to drop the PPO option effective February 1, 2017, the first time you would be able to re-enroll in the PPO option would be January 1, 2020. (You would be covered by the Trust Indemnity Plan for the remainder of 2017, and all of 2018 and 2019.)
