Aetna Medicare Plan

Effective January 1, 2024, the Rochester Area School Health Consortium (RASHP I) will provide coverage through Aetna. As a result, Medicare Advantage plans through Excellus and MVP will no longer be available to Webster retirees this January. Please note, those enrolled in a Classic Blue Plan are not impacted by this change at this time.

The good news about this change in health insurance is that you will NOT need to complete a new enrollment form. To make the transition seamless for our retirees, you will be automatically enrolled in a plan that most closely aligns to the Excellus and MVP plans.  

The next steps in this transition include in-person and virtual meetings that you are encouraged to attend to learn more about Aetna and its benefits. General questions are encouraged at these meetings. Any specific questions regarding your personal coverage should be asked at the virtual meeting or directly to an Aetna Medicare Advantage Plan Liaison. Additionally, in the middle of October, you will be receiving an informational packet from Aetna to review before these meetings.

All in person meeting dates have passed or are full. One of the new benefits to the Aetna plan is a dedicated customer service line for Monroe County school district retirees which specializes in Medicare.  If you have questions about your new Aetna Medicare Advantage plan, please call Aetna at: 1-833-771-9476 (TTY: 711), 8:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m. EST, Monday - Friday.  

If you have any questions that are district specific questions such as premium rates, contributions, and invoicing, do not hesitate in contacting Tracy Tasinas (tracy_tasinas@webstercsd.org) at 217-5403 or Ashley DiLorenzo (ashley_dilorenzo@webstercsd.org) at 216-0072  for more information.
