Don’t fall for Medicare Open Enrollment solicitations

The Medicare Open Enrollment period is now through December 7. During this time, you may receive solicitations urging you to enroll in various Medicare Advantage plans. If you’re enrolled in the 1199SEIU Aetna Medicare Advantage plan, you do not need to take any action to remain enrolled and covered in this plan. In fact, if you want to retain your 1199SEIU Aetna Medicare Advantage plan, you should not enroll in another plan.

You cannot be enrolled in two Medicare Advantage Plans at once, and signing up for another plan could jeopardize your 1199SEIU retiree health benefits. It can be confusing to receive these solicitations, so please contact the Retiree Services Center at (646) 473-8666 if you have any questions.
