Health Insurance for Retirees
Town of Scituate retirees who are enrolled in the Town's Health insurance, and are not yet 65, can make changes to their plans only during Open Enrollment in May for July 1st coverage. Please see the Employee Benefit tab for information on these insurance plans.
Medex Open Enrollment is in November for January coverage.
Retirees and their spouses who are turning 65 are required to enroll in Medicare Part A & B and switch to Medex (our Medicare supplemental plan), effective on the first day of the month that they turn 65. Please contact Social Security (www.ssa.gov) to enroll in Medicare.The Medex plan includes prescription drug coverage, so enrollment in Medicare Part D is unnecessary.
The monthly premium for the Medex supplemental plan is $199.99 per person (effective 1/1/2024-12/31/2024).
Contact Julia Kelley for more information about enrolling in Medex. 781-545-8719
