If I enroll in Medicare Part D and later change my mind, will I be able to enroll or re-enroll in the SHBP or SEHBP retiree prescription drug benefits through a SHBP or SEHBP health plan?
A. Yes. As long as you have maintained your SHBP or SEHBP medical plan coverage, you will be able to enroll or re-enroll for prescription drug coverage if you drop your Medicare Part D plan. If you notify the Health Benefits Bureau within 60 days of the date your Medicare Part D plan coverage is terminated, you will be able to obtain prescription drug coverage through your SHBP or SEHBP health plan retroactive to the date your Medicare Part D plan coverage was terminated. If you notify the Health Benefits Bureau on or after the 61st day your Medicare Part D plan coverage was terminated, your SHBP or SEHBP retiree prescription drug benefit will be reinstated on the first day of the month following a two (2) month waiting period beginning on the date your request for re-enrollment is received by the Health Benefits Bureau.
