Hi Rene & Gary
We wanted to keep you informed regarding an issue with Medicare enforcement with Anthem.
Several retirees have been contacted by Anthem recently and told that they must enroll in Medicare. Burnham has notified Anthem and Anthem is working to correct the change internally for the current plan year. As it involves several departments, it won’t be resolved immediately. However, once the Medicare Coordination of Benefits department receives internal approval they will reprocess any claims that were processed incorrectly.
Please have any affected retirees contact either me or Janice.
We will update you as we receive more information.
Thanks,
Katy
