12. New on January 1, 2015 Employer Sponsored Medicare Part D Pharmacy Plan Also called EGWP (egg-whip)

13. New on January 1, 2015 The City will provide a self-insured group sponsored Medicare Part D plan to its Medicare eligible retirees. The City will receive a direct subsidy from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) that will be larger than the retiree drug subsidy currently received.

14. Key Points • Medicare eligible retirees and their Medicare eligible dependents will automatically be enrolled in this employer provided Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plan. • IMPORTANT REMINDER! • Retirees and their enrolled dependents are required to enroll in Medicare Part B as soon as they are eligible and provide a copy of the Medicare card to the Benefits Office.

15. Key Points • DO NOT ENROLL in MEDICARE PART D! • Your enrollment in the City of Phoenix medical and pharmacy drug coverage will automatically be considered to be Medicare Part D enrollment. • If you are enrolled in another Medicare Part D Plan or a Medicare Advantage Plan with or without prescription drug coverage, Medicare will disenroll you from the City’s plan.

16. Key Points • You have the same co-pay structure: • $10 Generic • $25 Preferred Brand Name • $40 Non-Preferred Brand Name • $40 Specialty Drugs • Your prescription drug list will be bigger than the standard Medicare Part D list. • There will be no “Donut Hole.”

17. Key Points • CMS requirements may cause disruption with • 1-2% of the current prescriptions.
