Medicare Part B reimbursement notice
If you are a Grand Ronde Tribal member, have reached the age of retirement (65)
or have started to receive Social Security Retirement or disability benefits through
Social Security (SSD), you may be eligible to receive Medicare Part B benefits
through the Tribe. To find out if you are eligible, or to get enrolled in Medicare
Part B, please do the following: call toll-free 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227)
or go online at www.medicare.gov. You will need to request an application for
enrollment in Medicare Part B and return it to your local Social Security Office.
Once you are enrolled in Medicare Part B through Social Security, you will need
to call our office to request a Medicare Part B Reimbursement packet to apply.
As a Grand Ronde Tribal member, the Tribe will reimburse your Medicare Part
B premium each month at the standard rate.
Note: If you are currently on the Skookum Tribal Health Plan it is required
that you accept Medicare Part B when you become eligible. By not accepting
Medicare Part B, your coverage for medical expenses could be drastically
reduced.
If you need a Medicare Part B reimbursement packet sent to you or have
any questions regarding the Tribe's reimbursement program, please call
Reina Nelson in Member Services at 503-879-2223 or toll-free at 1-800-422-0232,
ext. 2223. You may call Barbara Steere with questions regarding
our Skookum Tribal Health Plan coverage at 503-879-2487 or toll-free at
1-800-749-2928. B
