Welcome to Kaiser Permanente Presenting Medicare 101 and the Kaiser Permanente Medicare health plan Michelle Stoll Retiree Consultant 2019 Plan Benefits

What Is Medicare? Medicare is a federally funded health insurance program. It includes Part A and Part B (known as Original Medicare). Medicare was established in 1965. Medicare is administered by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).

Who Can Join Medicare? Medicare beneficiaries include: People 65 or older if they or their spouses are eligible for Social Security People under 65 who are disabled Must be eligible for Social Security disability Requires a 2-year waiting period People of any age with end-stage renal (kidney) disease (ESRD) Permanent kidney failure that requires dialysis Needing a kidney transplant People with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) 

Medicare Part A Medicare Part A is hospital insurance that covers: What does it cost? Inpatient hospital care Skilled nursing facility care Hospice care Home health care No premium if you or your spouse has worked for at least 10 years and paid Medicare taxes. If you worked fewer than 10 years, there is a monthly premium up to $437, which is set by a Medicare formula.

Medicare Part B Medicare Part B is medical insurance that covers: Doctor and other health care provider services Outpatient care Lab Radiology Durable medical equipment Dialysis Some preventive care services

Medicare Part B What does it cost? If you’re married but file a tax return separately from your spouse 2019 Medicare Part B Monthly Premiums* YOUR YEARLY INCOME† YOU PAY Single-Standard‡ $85,000 or less Married couple-Standard‡ $170,000 or less $135.50‡ Single $85,001 – $107,000 Married couple $170,001 – $214,000 $189.60 Single $107,001 – $133,500 Married couple $214,001 – $267,000 $270.90 Single $133,501 – $160,000 Married couple $267,001 – $320,000 $352.20 Single $160,000 - $500,000 Married couple $320,000 - $750,000 $433.40 Single Above $500,000 Married couple Above $750,000 $460.50 YOUR YEARLY INCOME† YOU PAY $85,000 or less-Standard‡ $134.00‡ $85,000 - $415,000 $433.40 Above $415,000 $460.50 *You must continue to pay your Medicare Part B premium and any other applicable Medicare premium(s), if not otherwise paid by Medicaid or another third party. †Modified adjusted gross income as reported on your 2016 IRS tax return. ‡You will pay this Standard amount if you 1) enroll in Part B for the first time in 2019, 2) do not get Social Security benefits, 3) are directly billed for your Part B premiums. See medicare.gov for complete details. Note: Some people who get Social Security benefits will pay $130 on average in 2019.

Medicare Part B Additional payment and cost information Your monthly premium is usually deducted from your Social Security check. Late enrollment penalty: Premium goes up 10 percent for each 12-month period that you decline coverage. Not a one-time penalty, but continues throughout enrollment. Not imposed if you continue to work for — and get your health coverage from — an employer or trust fund of 20 or more. (You have up to 8 months after your employment ends to enroll.)

Medicare Coverage Options Here are some ways you can get Medicare: You can get Original Medicare through Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) You can supplement Original Medicare by enrolling in a MediGap Plan. Kaiser Permanente does not offer MediGap plans You can sign up for a Medicare Advantage, known as Medicare Part C, through private insurance companies In some parts of the country you can sign up for Medicare Cost plans, also offered through private insurance companies

Part C — Medicare Advantage Plans Medicare Part C, Medicare Advantage, covers: All the services Original Medicare covers* With most plans, medical benefits and services in addition to Original Medicare Services under a network of providers that you must use for care Different types of Medicare Advantage plans: Health maintenance organization (HMO) plans Point-of-service (HMO-POS) plans Preferred provider organization (PPO) plans Private fee-for-service (PFFS) plans Medical savings account (MSA) plans  *Except care for some clinical research and hospice care (Original Medicare covers hospice care even if you’re in a Medicare Advantage Plan).

Part C — Medicare Advantage Plans (continued) Payment and costs: Medicare pays an amount for your coverage each month to these private health plans. Some plans have additional monthly premiums; in many plans, you pay a copay for covered services. If you choose an out-of-network provider, you’ll be financially responsible, except in the case of an emergency or urgent care.

Medicare Part D Part D covers outpatient prescription drugs. You have 3 options for enrolling in Part D: A Medicare Advantage plan that includes Part D prescription drug coverage A stand-alone Prescription Drug Plan that offers prescription drug coverage only Coverage through an employer or union Unlike with Parts A and B, you sign up for Part D directly with your plan. Part D is not directly offered by Medicare or Social Security.

Medicare Part D Medicare Part D Income Related Monthly Adjustment Amount (IRMAA) The Part D higher-income premium is in addition to the annual Part B premium adjustment and is determined according to formulas set by federal law. 2019 Medicare Monthly Premium Adjustment YOUR YEARLY INCOME* YOU PAY (MONTHLY) Single $85,000 or less Married couple $170,000 or less No premium adjustment Single $85,001 – $107,000 Married couple $170,001 – $214,000 $12.40 Single $107,001 – $133,500 Married couple $214,001 – $267,000 $31.90 Single $133,501 – $160,000 Married couple $267,001 – $320,000 $51.40 Single $160,000 - $500,000 Married couple $320,000 - $750,000 $70.90 Single Above $500,000 Married couple Above $750,000 $77.40 *Modified adjusted gross income as reported on your 2017 IRS tax return.

Medicare’s Extra Help Program: Low-Income Subsidy For Medicare beneficiaries with limited income and resources. Provides extra help with Part D premiums and outpatient drug copays. Degree of help depends on income and resources. Additional facts about extra help: Apply at Social Security or state Medicaid office. Administered by your plan, for CMS. You must be enrolled in a Part D plan to get help.

Pre-Enrollment Considerations Considerations when evaluating Medicare Plans Where you will live / spend time Travel International Coverage will change when you migrate to a different plan Copays/Co-insurance Network Pharmacy Pre-Existing conditions Some plans may require referrals to see specialists Level of risk certainty Have you considered all of your coverage options?

How to Enroll Initial Enrollment Period If you’re already getting benefits from Social Security, you’ll be automatically enrolled in both Part A and Part B starting the first day of the month you turn 65. If you do not already get benefits from Social Security, you’ll need to contact Social Security. You can enroll over a 7-month period, which starts 3 months before your 65th birthday, known as the Initial Enrollment Period. You may be able to enroll online at socialsecurity.gov. If you don’t sign up for Part A and Part B when you’re first eligible, you can sign up between January 1 and March 31 each year, for a July 1 effective date Note: Completing the application form and submitting it doesn’t automatically enroll you in Medicare Part B. Social Security must first determine if you’re eligible.

How to Enroll Special Enrollment Triggered by certain events, such as loss of employment or retirement, that allow you to change plans Period held by employers when you can disenroll from your current plan and switch to a Medicare Advantage plan Cobra is not considered Qualified coverage Part B Late enrollment penalty Premium goes up 10 percent for each 12-month period that you decline coverage. Part D Late enrollment penalty The penalty is 1 percent of that year’s Part D base premium per month that you do not maintain creditable coverage.

High Medicare Star Quality Ratings You Can Depend On* A smart way to compare Medicare health plans There’s a smart, easy way to compare Medicare health plans. It’s called the Star Quality Ratings. The ratings are given out by Medicare — which rates Medicare health plans each year in categories that include preventive care, prescription drug services, member satisfaction, and more. * Every year, Medicare evaluates plans based on a 5-star rating system.
