2022 benefits options for retirees ages 65 and older

There are many Medicare Supplement plan providers in the marketplace from which to choose. If you wish to consider a UnitedHealthcare Medicare solution, refer to the enrollment packet from UHC or contact them at 877-791-9964 for assistance with enrollment and supplemental plans.

If you are eligible to receive the retiree reimbursement, you must participate in a UHC Medicare solution. LCRA will contribute to Retiree Reimbursement Accounts (RRAs) for those eligible to participate at the following rates in 2022: up to $120 each month for a participating retiree and up to $95 for a participating spouse. For assistance with the UHC RRA, call 877-298-2305.

Dental insurance through MetLife provides you and your dependent(s) coverage for routine cleanings and other dental services. Staying in-network saves you money. If you use an out-of-network provider, you will pay more out-of-pocket since those providers do not have negotiated rates with MetLife. Your dentist will call MetLife to verify medical coverage. The calendar year maximum benefit per person is $2,000. View a summary of the plan benefits.

Dental information is also available through the MetLife mobile app to keep track of claims, retrieve electronic ID cards and more.

Vision insurance through EyeMed includes coverage for eye exams, frames, lenses and contacts. Two plans are available.

The standard plan offers a maximum frames allowance of $125 every 24 months and eye glass lenses every 12 months. If you choose contact lenses in lieu of eye glass lenses and frames, the maximum benefit is $120 per year. Participants pay a $10 copay for an eye exam once every 12 months.

The enhanced plan offers a maximum allowance of $150 every 12 months for either eye glass lenses and frames or for contact lenses. Participants pay a $0 copay for an eye exam once every 12 months.

You won’t receive a vision insurance ID card. Your optometrist will call EyeMed to verify coverage.
