How retiree health insurance works for union members

Many union members and retirees with Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) coverage are looking for additional insurance to help limit out-of-pocket costs.
 

Union Plus has partnered with eHealth, a licensed health insurance agency  to help you navigate your Medicare Plan options and choose the right Medicare plan for you and your spouse, based on your budget and needs. eHealth can provide information about many different insurance companies and Medicare plans at no additional cost to you with no obligation to enroll. 

Union members, retirees and their families can now easily search and shop for Medicare plans using eHealth’s recommendation tool or by speaking to an eHealth licensed insurance agent. You have the option to find plans in your area online, compare plans and select one based on monthly premium, annual deductible, as well as copayments and coinsurance for various services.

Plans are insured or covered by a Medicare Advantage organization with a Medicare contract and/or a Medicare approved Part D sponsor. Enrollment in the plan depends on the plan's contract renewal with Medicare.
