Delta Dental gives you the freedom to visit the dentist of your choice and to select any dentist on a treatment by treatment
basis. It is important to remember your out-of-pocket costs may vary depending on your choice. You have three options and
the information below describes what you can expect depending on whether you receive services from a Delta Dental PPO
dentist, a Delta Dental Premier dentist or a non-participating dentist.
In PPO Network
1. Delta Dental PPO Network
Comprised of a select panel of dentists, over 287,389 dental offices participate in the Delta Dental PPO program. Delta Dental
will provide the highest level of benefits (see benefit highlights) for covered services when care is received from a Delta Dental
PPO dentist. These dentists agree to:
∙ Accept payment based on the applicable PPO Maximum Plan Allowance – reducing your out-of-pocket expenses.
∙ Submit dental claims for members and abide by Delta’s policies.
∙ Charge members only their deductible, co-insurance, and costs for non-covered services at the time of visit because Delta
Dental pays the dentist directly.
Your out-of-pocket expenses will be lowest when you see a Delta Dental PPO dentist.
In Premier Network
2. Delta Dental Premier Network
Comprised of over 363,417 participating dental offices, Delta Dental Premier offers you greater access to dentists while still
offering the advantages of a network. These dentists have participating agreements with Delta Dental which require them to:
∙ Accept payment based on the applicable Premier Maximum Plan Allowance – which means no balance billing on any charges
that exceed Delta’s contracted amount.
∙ Submit dental claims for members and abide by Delta’s policies.
∙ Charge members only their deductible, co-insurance, and costs for non-covered services at the time of visit because Delta
Dental pays the dentist directly.
If your dentist is not a Delta Dental PPO dentist but is a Delta Dental Premier dentist, your benefit will be based on the
Premier benefit level; however, you will receive the cost control and claims filing advantages noted above.
Non-Participating Dentist
3. Non-participating Dentist
If you receive services from a non-participating dentist (does not participate in either Delta Dental network) benefits for covered
services are based on the applicable Maximum Plan Allowance for non-participating dentists :
∙ You will be responsible for filing your own claim forms.
∙ Delta Dental’s benefit payment will be made directly to you.
∙ Benefit payments will be based on Delta’s maximum plan allowance.
∙ You will be responsible for the difference between the dentist’s charge and Delta’ maximum plan allowance.
Your out-of-pocket expenses may be more when you use a non-participating dentist.
Locating a Participating Dentist…
To determine if your dentist participates with Delta Dental or to select a participating dentist in your area:
∙ Ask your dentist if he or she participates in the Delta Dental PPO or Delta Dental Premier program

United Healthcare Medicare Advantage Plan, Pages 12-37
The UHC Group Medicare Advantage is a Medicare Advantage PPO Plan with a Medicare contract. To join this plan, you must be entitled to Medicare Part A, be enrolled in Medicare Part B and live in the defined Service Area list in the full benefit summary. You have the “choice” to visit any doctor within the Medicare Complete Network without referrals. However, this option also includes coverage for out of network benefits. The chart included provides summary information. Please contact UHC for complete details.
The following plan options are associated with Medicare and are only available to those eligible for Medicare. Included are the Benefit Summaries from UHC and Transamerica along with their enrollment forms. Once enrolled in the below plan(s), changes in plan election will not be allowed until the following open enrollment period
Transamerica Medicare Supplement Plan, Pages 38-44
The Transamerica Medicare Supplement Plan is another option for Retirees. Premiums are based on age and billed directly to you. When you contact Transamerica to enroll you will need to inform them that you are with the Pattonville School District. If you choose to enroll in this plan, please consider also enrolling in a Part D Prescription Drug Plan.
Question | Answer |
What is the main difference in these two plans? | The Transamerica plan is a supplement that pays secondary to Medicare. Your provider network is the national Medicare Any Willing Provider Program. See here for provider details: https://www.medicare.gov/forms-help-resources/find-compare-doctors-hospitals-other-providers. Note that this supplement does not include drug coverage. You will need to purchase a standalone Part D plan. The UHC plan is a Medicare Advantage plan. The provider network is local-only and designed by UHC. Please go here for details: https://www.uhcretiree.com/. The UHC plan includes drug coverage, as well as additional dental and vision benefits. The other noteworthy difference is cost. Transamerica has a monthly premium depending on your age, whereas UHC has a $0 premium. (For both plans, you must still pay your monthly Part B premium to Medicare/Social Security of at least $164.90 in 2022.) |
Am I covered under Part D? | See above- Transamerica gives you the freedom to choose a Part D plan that fits your list of prescriptions and includes your preferred pharmacy. Costs vary for Part D plans. UHC includes drug coverage in their Medicare Advantage plan at no additional charge. Please review the formulary carefully. |
Are their networks nationwide? | Yes for Transamerica, through Medicare’s Any Willing Provider Program. Coverage is available only for emergencies outside of the local St. Louis network on the UHC Medicare Advantage plan. |
What if I don’t like this coverage, can I re-elect my previous coverage? | Yes, as long as you maintained enrollment in one of the plans listed in this guide, at each annual open enrollment you can switch plans. |
Medicare Options
Blue MedicareRx (PDP) Pages 45-53
The Anthem Blue MedicareRx Plan is another option for Retirees. Monthlypremiums are billed directly to you. When you contact the First Impressions team to enroll you will need to inform them that you are with the Pattonville School District. This is a Part D Prescription Drug Plan.

“Medicare Advantage” is also known as Medicare Part C.
These plans have all the benefits of Medicare Part A
(hospital coverage) and Medicare Part B (doctor and
outpatient care) plus extra programs that go beyond Original
Medicare (Medicare Parts A and B).

Plan information

How your Group Medicare Advantage plan works
Medicare has rules about what types of coverage you can add or combine with a group-sponsored
Medicare Advantage plan.
One plan at a time
• You may be enrolled in only 1 Medicare Advantage plan and 1 Medicare Part D
prescription drug plan at a time.
• The plan you enroll in last is the plan that Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
(CMS) considers to be your final decision.
• If you enroll in another Medicare Advantage plan or a stand-alone Medicare Part D
prescription drug plan after your enrollment in this group-sponsored plan, you will be
disenrolled from these plan(s).
• Any eligible family members may also be disenrolled from their group-sponsored plan.
This means that you and your family may not have hospital/medical or drug coverage
through your former employer or plan sponsor.
Remember: If you drop or are disenrolled from your group-sponsored retiree
coverage, you may not be able to re-enroll. Limitations and restrictions vary by
former employer or plan sponsor.

not opted out of or been excluded or precluded from the Medicare Program.

How your prescription drug coverage works
Your Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage includes thousands of brand-name and generic
prescription drugs. Check your plan’s drug list to see if your drugs are covered.
Here are answers to common questions:
What pharmacies can I use?
You can choose from thousands of national chain, regional and independent local retail pharmacies.
What is a drug-cost tier?
Drugs are divided into different cost levels, or tiers. In general, the lower the tier, the less you pay.
What will I pay for my prescription drugs?
What you pay will depend on the coverage your former employer or plan sponsor has arranged and
on what drug-cost tier your prescription falls into. Your cost may also change during the year based
on the total cost of the prescriptions you have filled.1
Can I have more than 1 prescription drug plan?
No. You can only have 1 Medicare plan that includes prescription drug coverage at a time. If you
enroll in another Medicare Part D prescription drug plan OR a Medicare Advantage plan that
includes prescription drug coverage, you will be disenrolled from this plan.

Ways to save on your prescription drugs
You may save on the medications you take regularly
If you prefer the convenience of mail order, you could save time and money by receiving
your maintenance medications through OptumRx® Home Delivery. You’ll get automatic refill
reminders and access to licensed pharmacists if you have questions.
Get a 3-month1 supply at retail pharmacies
In addition to OptumRx® Home Delivery, most retail pharmacies offer 3-month supplies for
some prescription drugs.
Ask your doctor about trial supplies
A trial supply allows you to fill a prescription for less than 30 days. This way, you can pay a
reduced copay or coinsurance and make sure the medication works for you before getting a
full month’s supply.
Explore lower-cost options
Each covered drug in your drug list is assigned to a drug-cost tier. Generally, the lower the
tier, the less you pay. If you’re taking a higher-tier drug, you may want to ask your doctor if
there’s a lower-tier drug you could take instead.
Have an annual medication review
Take some time during your Annual Wellness Visit to make sure you are only taking the
drugs you need.
The UnitedHealthcare Savings Promise
UnitedHealthcare is committed to keeping your prescription drug costs down. As a
UnitedHealthcare member, you have our Savings Promise that you’ll get the lowest price
available. That low price may be your plan copay, the pharmacy’s retail price or our
contracted price with the pharmacy.
1 Your former employer or plan sponsor may provide coverage beyond 3 months. Please refer to the Benefit Highlights
or Summary of Benefits for more information.

Plan information
Marsh & McLennan Agency LLC
What is IRMAA?
The Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount (IRMAA) is an amount Social Security
determines you may need to pay in addition to your monthly plan premium if your
modified adjusted gross income on your IRS tax return from 2 years ago is above a
certain limit. This extra amount is paid directly to Social Security, not to your plan.
Social Security will contact you if you have to pay IRMAA.
Call Social Security to see if you qualify for Extra Help
If you have a limited income, you may be able to get Extra Help to pay for your
prescription drug costs. If you qualify, Extra Help could pay up to 75% or more of
your drug costs. Many people qualify and don’t know it. There’s no penalty for applying,
and you can re-apply every year.
Call toll-free 1-800-772-1213, TTY 1-800-325-0778, 8 a.m.–7 p.m., Monday–Friday, or
call your local office.
What is a Medicare Part D Late Enrollment Penalty (LEP)?
If, at any time after you first become eligible for Medicare Part D, there’s a period of
at least 63 days in a row when you don’t have Medicare Part D or other creditable
prescription drug coverage, a penalty may apply. Creditable coverage is prescription
drug coverage that is at least as good as or better than what Medicare requires.
The LEP is an amount added to your monthly Medicare premium and billed to you
separately by UnitedHealthcare.
When you become a member, your former employer or plan sponsor will be asked
to confirm that you have had continuous Medicare Part D coverage. If your former
employer or plan sponsor asks for information about your prescription drug coverage
history, please respond as quickly as possible to avoid an unnecessary penalty.
Once you become a member, more information will be available in your Evidence
of Coverage (EOC). Your Quick Start Guide will include details on how to access
your EOC.

Your care begins with your doctor
• With this plan, you have the flexibility to see doctors inside or outside the UnitedHealthcare
network
• Even though it’s not required, it’s important to have a primary care provider
• You may pay a larger share of the cost when you see an out-of-network health care provider
• With your UnitedHealthcare Group Medicare Advantage plan, you’re connected to programs,
resources, tools and people that can help you live a healthier life
Finding a doctor is easy
If you need help finding a doctor or specialist, just give us a call. We can even help schedule that
first appointment.
Why use a UnitedHealthcare network doctor?
A network doctor or health care provider is one who contracts with us to provide services to
our members. We work closely with our network of doctors to give them access to resources and
tools that can help them work with you to make better health care decisions. You pay your copay or
coinsurance according to your plan benefits. Your provider will bill us for the rest.
An out-of-network provider does not have a contract with us. With the UnitedHealthcare Group
Medicare Advantage (PPO) plan, you can see any out-of-network provider as long as they accept the
plan and have not opted out of or been excluded or precluded from the Medicare Program. We will
pay for the rest of the cost of your covered service(s), including any charges up to the limit set by
Medicare. If your provider won’t accept the plan, we will contact them on your behalf.
If a provider refuses to directly bill us, they may ask that you pay the full allowable amount upfront.
In that case, you can pay the doctor and then submit a claim to us. You’ll be reimbursed for the cost
of the claim minus your cost share.
Filling your prescriptions is convenient
UnitedHealthcare has thousands of national chain, regional and independent local retail pharmacies
in our network.1

By enrolling in this plan, I agree to the following:
This is a Medicare Advantage plan and has a contract with the federal government.
This is not a Medicare Supplement plan.
I need to keep my Medicare Part A and Part B, and continue to pay my Medicare Part B and, if
applicable, Part A premiums, if they are not paid for by Medicaid or a third party. To be eligible
for this plan, I must live in the plan’s service area and be a United States citizen or be lawfully
present in the U.S.
This plan covers a specific service area. If I plan to move out of the area, I will call my
plan sponsor or this plan to disenroll and get help finding a new plan in my area.
I may not be covered while out of the country, except for limited coverage near the U.S.
border. However, under this plan, when I am outside of the U.S. I am covered for emergency
or urgently needed care.
I can only have one Medicare Advantage or Prescription Drug plan at a time.
• Enrolling in this plan will automatically disenroll me from any other Medicare health plan.
• If I enroll in a different Medicare Advantage plan or Medicare Part D Prescription Drug
Plan, I will be automatically disenrolled from this plan.
• If I disenroll from this plan, I will be automatically transferred to Original Medicare.
• Enrollment in this plan is for the entire plan year. I may leave this plan only at certain times
of the year or under special conditions.
My information will be released to Medicare and other plans, only as necessary, for
treatment, payment and health care operations.
Medicare may also release my information for research and other purposes that follow all
applicable Federal statutes and regulations.
For members of the Group Medicare Advantage plan.
I understand that when my coverage begins, I must get all of my medical and prescription
drug benefits from the plan. Benefits and services provided by the plan and contained in the
Evidence of Coverage (EOC) document will be covered. Neither Medicare nor the plan will
pay for benefits or services that are not covered.
