The independent licensee of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida based in Jacksonville, FL will offer a new option to help combat the rising cost of retiree benefits. The new plan will help employers save money on their Medicare eligible retirees and their spouses who are over the age of 65. The benefit is available for employees that qualify for their employer’s plan and are enrolled in Medicare Part A or Medicare Part B. The plans start at $125 per month and typically cover the deductibles, copayments, and 20 percent coinsurance. Retiree’s must also maintain a permanent residence in Florida to be eligible. What are your thoughts on the worth of this newly available health insurance plan?
