Welcome, UAW Retiree Medical Benefits
Trust Member!

Get more out of your UAW Trust health benefits!

The UAW Retiree Medical Benefits Trust (the "Trust") provides health care benefits for eligible UAW retirees and their dependents. Aetna, in partnership with the Trust, is pleased to offer the Aetna Medicare^SM Advantage PPO Plan.

Through the Trust, you have an opportunity to enroll in a health plan that offers coverage with additional benefits not included in your current plan-and programs to help improve health and wellness, all at a lower cost. This Medicare Advantage plan is designed to do more to help meet your coverage needs.

 

For all members who enroll in the Aetna Medicare Advantage plan for 2013, the Trust will waive your monthly contribution for the entire year!

 

Are you wondering if you are eligible to enroll in the Aetna Medicare Advantage PPO Plan?

 

If you don't reside within the Aetna Medicare PPO network area, you may be eligible for the Aetna Medicare^SM Advantage PPO plan with an Extended Service Area (ESA). This Aetna Medicare PPO plan with extended service area option is available if the zip code where you live is located outside of our approved Aetna Medicare PPO network service area. If this is the case, you will receive the Aetna Medicare Advantage PPO ESA plan. The PPO ESA plan allows you to see any licensed doctor as long as they accept your PPO plan and are eligible to receive payment from Medicare.

 

The Aetna Medicare Advantage plan offered by the Trust is available in the following states: Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Maryland, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and Texas.
