PHIP has excellent medical, pharmacy and dental plan benefits that meet the needs of both Medicare and non-Medicare eligible members. The pharmacy plan for Medicare members is a Medicare Part D prescription drug plan.
As you approach age 65, you have some important decisions to make about your medical plan. To help you understand how participating in the PERS Health Insurance Program (PHIP) can enhance your Medicare coverage, we hope you will attend a presentation in 2024.
PHIP has scheduled New Enrollment Presentations throughout the year for those PERS members who are considering retirement within 90 days or who are already retired and will be turning 65 years of age within the next 12 months. You can choose to attend either in-person or via online webinar.
Please note: Effective December 31, 2024, PacificSource will no longer offer the PHIP PacificSource Medicare Advantage Essentials RX 803 (HMO) plan and therefore will not participate in the 2024 New Enrollment presentations. If you select the PHIP PacificSource Medicare Advantage Essentials 803 RX retiree health plan during 2024, you will automatically move to the selected PHIP Medicare Advantage Plan effective January 1, 2025.
