Central Massachusetts Verizon Retirees- a call to action. In recent months UMASS Memorial Healthcare has been sending letters urging United Heathcare Medicare Advantage Plan holders (us and AARP) to switch to " their participating plans" list. They have sent out another round of letters saying you have a limited time, until March 31, to switch coverage to a plan they participate in- Blue Cross Medicare HMO, Fallon, or Harvard Pilgrim Stride. Apparently they are booting us out UHC covered patients. I am tired of them harassing my disabled wife every time we walk through the door with " WE don't take that insurance " routine and then receive a captulation and a "okay, we take that for now". To be publicly vilified for going to the dr is rediculous.
Verizon Retirees that are affected please call Jack Cohen at Association of Belltel Retirees if you are affected. He needs NUMBERS in order to act on this. If you are affected call BELLTEL RETIREES AT 631-367-3067.
