Retiree Medical Benefits and Medicare

Your medical options depend on your Medicare eligibility. To enroll in any of the Stanford retiree medical plans, you must enroll in Medicare Parts A and B. Eligible dependents who are age 65 and over, or who receive Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) also must be enrolled in Medicare Parts A and B.

Non-Medicare Eligible (Under Age 65)

If you and your dependents are non-Medicare eligible, you receive active employee medical benefits.

Medicare Eligible

If you and your eligible dependents are Medicare eligible, you will receive the benefits described in this section.

Split Family

In some cases you and your covered dependents may not all be eligible for Medicare. When this occurs you will cover yourself and your dependents with the same medical provider. For those who have Medicare, the coverage will be on a Medicare plan. For those without Medicare, coverage will be provided by the corresponding non-Medicare plan (where applicable) and vice versa.
