Greetings Retiree’s and Spouses:

 

Aetna Survey

Recently International retirees on Medicare were sent a survey by Aetna Medicare to fill out.

This survey is confusing and poorly worded.  Aetna says that Medicare requires this survey to be filled out every year since we have gone to a Medicare Advantage Plan (Aetna Medicare).

Fill out section 1 and mark retired and the year you retired in the space asking when you last worked. Also fill out spouse’s name, etc. and mark retired. Section 2 and 3 need not be filled out unless you are still working.

 

Navistar Supplemental Benefit Plan Hearing Plan

Covered services                   Benefit Allowance                  Frequency of benefit

Diagnostic procedures              $30.00

Hearing Aid evaluation  $60.00                                     Once every 36 months

Hearing Aids                            Up to $450.00 per ear

You have the option of using a provider who participates in the National Ear Care Plan (NECP) network.

The advantages of using a NECP provider include:

  • You may go directly to a NECP provider for services—you don’t need a physicians referral
  • You can reduce your out-of-pocket costs. NECP providers typically charge 10% to 20% less for hearing aids than regular providers
  • You have no claims to file

To go to a NECP provider call 1-888-884-6327 for a listing of providers in your area

If you go to any audiologist you wish, you must first get a referral from your physician. You pay for the hearing aids up front and file a claim with Aetna for reimbursement

 

 

Chapter 305 Election of Officers:

At the March meeting nominations were held for Chapter retiree executive board.

Elected by acclimation was as follows:

Chairperson                              Barb Parrott

Vice Chair                                Open

Recording Secretary                 Hazel Sitko

Financial Secretary                   Carol Davis

Sgt of Arms                              Dorothy Ward

 We need someone to fill the Vice Chairperson position, if you are interested please call Barb Parrott

@ 1-419-542-8150

You must be a member of Chapter 305 to be eligible to hold an office in the Chapter.

If you retired from Springfield and have not transferred to Chapter 305 you are then still a member of Chapter 658.

For those retirees who retired from Springfield and wish to be a member of Chapter 305 you need to fill out a request for transfer form. This will transfer your retiree membership from Chapter 658 (Springfield) to Chapter 305. These forms will be available at the May retiree luncheon, or you can call 918-4094 and request one be sent to you to fill out.
