Health Insurance Age 65 and Over

Mount Holyoke College has provided the opportunity for College retirees and their spouse/partner to enroll in Medicare supplemental health insurance through a College group plan since 2000.

If you choose to participate in one of these group health plans, you will be responsible for paying the full premium. The College will provide the administration for these group plans, but will not provide a subsidy of the monthly premiums.

Currently the College is sponsoring four (4) Medicare supplemental group health plans: Blue Cross Blue Shield Managed Blue for Seniors, Medicare HMO Blue, Tufts Medicare Compliment and Tufts Health Plan Medicare Preferred HMO.

Although the College expects to continue to sponsor these group insurance options so long as similar coverage is not available to retirees on a non-group basis, we cannot guarantee that the coverage options will remain in effect. Matters beyond our control may at some point limit our ability to extend these group plan options. However, if you do elect to enroll, the College will keep you informed about any changes in plan coverage and costs.

Detailed information about the health insurance plans to retirees is available in the Human Resources Department.
