UT Medical Coverage - Retired Employees

UT Medical Coverage Monthly Premium Rates (includes prescription coverage)

*Basic Coverage includes UT medical and prescription coverage plus the cost of retiree $10,000 Basic Life Insurance

For UT Retired Employees who Return to Work in a Benefits-Eligible Position at a UT Institution:

• If you (or one of your dependents) is Medicare eligible, UT SELECT will be your primary insurance and work much the same as that of a regular active employee only with a secondary insurance through Medicare.
• If you and your dependents are not Medicare-eligible, your UT SELECT Medical plan works the same for you as it does for a regular active employee.

For Retired Employees no longer employed at UT in a benefits-eligible position:

• If you (or one of your dependents) is Medicare eligible, you (and/or your dependent) will be enrolled into the UT CARE Open Access Medicare PPO plan. It is very important that you are enrolled in Medicare Parts A and B if you are eligible for it. We recommend that you begin the enrollment process for Medicare Parts A and B at least 90 days prior to when you will no longer be employed in a benefits-eligible position. You can read more here about the importance of enrolling in Medicare at the appropriate time.
• If you and/or your dependents are not Medicare-eligible, your UT SELECT Medical plan works the same for you as it does a regular active employee.
