Can my spouse/eligible dependent also be covered under the university鈥檚 Medicare Advantage plans?

If you and your spouse/eligible dependent(s) are eligible for university retiree insurance and are Medicare eligible, then you may elect coverage for yourself and any covered Medicare-eligible dependent(s) under the options for Medicare-eligible members: 

  • The university-sponsored Medicare Advantage Base Plan, or 
  • The university-sponsored Medicare Advantage Enhanced Plan.  

If you are Medicare eligible but your spouse/eligible dependent is not Medicare eligible (e.g., is under age 65), then you may elect coverage for yourself under the options for Medicare-eligible retirees (see above) and coverage for your spouse/eligible dependent under the options for non-Medicare-eligible members: 

  • The Retiree Health PPO, or 
  • The Healthy Savings Plan, a qualified high-deductible health plan. 

If you are not Medicare eligible but your spouse/eligible dependent(s) is Medicare eligible, then you may elect coverage for yourself under the options for non-Medicare-eligible members and coverage for your spouse/eligible dependent(s) under the options for Medicare-eligible members.

If your dependent has previously dropped the university medical coverage provided to you as a retiree, they cannot re-enroll.
