MEDICARE RE-IMBURSEMENT

 

This reimbursement does not come to you automatically; you must apply in writing when you reach the age of 65. You and your spouse  can be reimbursed going back three years.  The application should be filed before the end of May. The city needs 30 days to process applications. You only have to file one time; the application will always be on file. Only those enrolled in a City health plan are eligible for that benefit. To contact NYC Employee Benefits Office call 212-513-0470.

Send the Medicare Re-Imbursement form to:
NYC Employee Benefits Office
40 Rector St. 3rd Floor
New York, NY 10006

If your check does not arrive by the end of August, contact Cheryl Clark at 212-306-7610.
DO NOT CONTACT HER FOR ANY OTHER REASON THAN A MISSING CHECK

 

  Death of a member will automatically terminate this benefit. No one will inform the spouse that they are entitled to the benefit from the previous year. A sworn Affidavit must be sent to 40 Rector St.

MEDICARE QUESTION FORWARDED ONTO TONY DeNATLE, CHAIRMAN OF THE HEALTH and WELFARE, NATIONAL NYCPD 10-13.

 

One of my questions is, because I am on S.S. Disability and I'll only be fifty-nine (59) years old, will I be entitled to any reimbursement from the City for the Part B payments?

 

Joe,

 

This is Tony DeNatale, Health & Welfare Chairman with the NYCPD National 10-13 Association.  You will be entitled to reimbursement from the city for Medicare part B, as age has nothing to do with it. In all likelihood you will not receive a check for this year, but will get one next August. If your wife is, or when she becomes eligible to receive Medicare she too will be reimbursed.

 

You must notify the city health benefits at 40 Rector St . If you email me your address I will send you the form. Make a copy of your Medicare card to send in with the form. I recommend sending it via certified mail with a request for a return receipt. Any questions feel free to email me tony840@si.rr.com.

 

Thanks,

Tony "D"
