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 Secu
rity, 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 re
quired 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
