2026 Annual Rate Notification for Medicare-Eligible Retiree Group Participants
The two Annual Rate Notification booklets for Medicare-Eligible Retiree Group Participants, one for those with outpatient prescription drug coverage and one for those in medical-only plans (no outpatient prescription drug coverage through the state program), have been posted on the DHRM website and are available at the following links:
-
Retiree Memo - Includes Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Coverage
-
Retiree Memo - Excludes Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Coverage
There has been a delay in the distribution of the annual retiree notifications due to unforeseen administrative circumstances that have impacted our standard mailing schedule. We recognize the importance of this communication, and we are working diligently to complete the mailing process.
In the interim, if a retiree inquires about the status of the mailing, please refer them to the DHRM website for the most current information. If you have an employee who retires or starts LTD effective January 1, 2026, or later and enrolls in the State Retiree Health Benefits Program, please provide a copy of these materials to summarize 2026 premiums and plan changes for the Advantage 65 plans.
Annual Notice of Change materials provided by Express Scripts Medicare to participants who are enrolled in an Advantage 65 Plan that includes prescription drug coverage will be posted on the DHRM website soon.
Please do not reply to this email. You may send inquiries to the Office of Health Benefits mailbox at ohb@dhrm.virginia.gov.
