[QUOTE="ski or die, post: 1486440, member: 52818"] I retired with exactly 30 years to the day on the last day of the month. Received my first pension check the very next day. When I turned 65, I enrolled in Medicare with a Supplement policy. I continued to pay the premiums with our company for my spouse. After six months, UPS sent me a letter wanting to know why I had additional insurance. I called the number on our insurance card and was told that I would have to cancel my new policy because "I was covered for life with UPS". I received that statement from 3 different people. It turns out I (as well as you) was dealing with a third party who is contracted to administer the plan. Well, I cancelled my new policies. The very next month I received the new booklet for Teamcare. Found two separate articles stating my insurance indeed was supposed to expire on myself at age 65. I finally had talk with someone at UPS and not the third party to correct the problem. Then more problems, I had to have proof of insurance to reinstate my previous policy because it had been over 6 months since I turned 65 and the person with UPS refused to help me. I actually had to go through Corporate Office of UPS to straighten out the mess. So, just be aware, this is a third party administering this plan who don't have a clue. [/QUOTE]
