Medicare retiree dental cost

Medicare retiree major dental benefit How does the Medicare retiree major dental benefit differ from that of active employees and non-Medicare retirees? Maximum Annual Benefit Medicare Retiree is $1,500 Actives/Non-Medicare retirees is $2,000 DHRM will investigate the premium impact to increase this benefit Major dental/complex restorative benefit Medicare Retiree is 5% of the allowable charge for covered services Actives/Non-Medicare retirees is 50% of the allowable charge for covered services Benefit added for the first time in 2011 Adding a 50% benefit would result in a more significant premium increase. Because the 5% benefit coverage is small, there was no significant increase in premium cost. However, because there is now a covered benefit, costs for covered major dental services are limited to the contractual rate negotiated by the claims administrator with potential savings of significant out-of-pocket expense for users of the benefit—and without the additional premium cost affecting all participants.

Medicare retiree vision cost 15.9% increase ($66,462) in vision claims between FY14 and FY15 Due to the relative small size of this benefit, the resulting change in the vision premium for 2016 was minimal at $.06
