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. D
