Retirees Age 65 or older with Medicare Part B: Benefits and Cost
This chart presents an overview of services that are covered by the Plan when they are provided or authorized by your US Family Health Plan primary care provider (PCP). All specialist visits and hospital admissions must be arranged in advance by your PCP (except for unforeseen medical emergencies). Your prescription copay is due when you receive your medication.
Please note: Medicare Part B is not required for membership in US Family Health Plan (although we recommend it). Individuals who are not enrolled in Part B have the same enrollment fees and copayments as Retirees Under Age 65.

This summary is not an all-inclusive list. Complete details of benefit coverage and exclusions are available by calling our Member Services department at 1-800-818-8589. The benefits and costs are accurate as of October 1, 2011 but are subject to change by the government.
*If an individual is paying into Medicare Part B, there is no US Family Health Plan enrollment fee for that person. No copayments are due for Medicare-covered services.
**Not a DoD Uniform Benefit. Benefit provided as a service of US Family Health Plan.
Catastrophic Cap: Copayment collections will be subject to a catastrophic cap of $3000 per year for retiree families. This means you won’t have to pay more than that for covered medical services received in a single year. The enrollment fee (if applicable) and all out of pocket copayments are included in determining the catastrophic cap, with the exception of out of pocket costs owed under the Point of Service option.
