About this file

The 2025 Retiree Benefits Guide is a comprehensive document issued by the City of Oklahoma City detailing benefit options for city retirees, covering medical, dental, vision, life insurance, and retirement plans for the 2025 plan year. The guide outlines open enrollment dates of October 22-23, 2024, at the Municipal Maintenance Facility, with coverage effective from January 1 to December 31, 2025. Retirees have multiple medical plan options, including an Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO) plan through BlueCross BlueShield, a Medicare Advantage Plan through UnitedHealthcare, and two Group Indemnity Health Plans (PPO) with standard and alternate options. The guide provides detailed information on eligibility, plan features, prescription drug coverage, and associated costs for retirees and their dependents.

The pricing structure varies by plan type and coverage level, with the City contributing 50% of medical premiums for eligible retirees in 2025. Monthly premiums range from $199.78 to $5,413.12 depending on the plan and coverage tier (retiree only, retiree + spouse, retiree + child, or family). Additional benefits include dental plans administered by BlueCross BlueShield, vision coverage through VSP, and a $10,000 group term life insurance policy. The guide also highlights changes for 2025, such as the transition of the 457 Deferred Compensation Plan to a single administrator, Voya Financial, and provides information on Medicare enrollment, prescription drug coverage, and special enrollment rights.

City of Oklahoma City Retiree Benefits Guide

About this Guide This benefit guide was developed to provide information about available benefit options, explain the enrollment and change process, and serve as a valuable resource for information about benefits available through the City of Oklahoma City. We recommend reading this guide before attending the annual Open Enrollment and/or completing enrollment forms. If you are married, please share the information in this guide with your spouse or beneficiary.

The guide is merely a compilation of City-sponsored retiree benefits. It is intended for informational purposes only. Actual benefits available and full descriptions of these benefits are governed in all cases by the relevant plan document, insurance company contracts, ordinances, and/or resolutions of The City of Oklahoma City. If there are discrepancies between this benefit guide and actual plan documents, insurance company contracts, ordinances and/or resolutions; the documents, contracts, ordinances and/or resolutions will govern.

Clerical Error/Delay Clerical errors will not invalidate coverage or cause coverage to be in force. Upon discovery of any such error or delay, an adjustment will be made. The City has the right to collect contributions owed by a retiree. Conversely, the retiree will be reimbursed if an overpayment occurs.

Eligibility Eligibility is determined by requirements stated in the appropriate plan document, insurance policy, plan contract, and/or certificate of coverage for the year in question. Since plans are subject to change at any time, eligibility requirements may also change. If you change coverage from one plan to another, you and your dependent must meet the requirements of the plan you have selected. An eligible retiree cannot be a member and a dependent on the same health and/or dental plan.

If any relevant fact has been misstated, whether intentionally or unintentionally, by or on behalf of any person that results in improper coverage under the Plan, the individual is subject to termination from the Plan and other appropriate action. Upon discovery of such misstatement, equitable adjustment of any contributions or benefits paid will be made.

Monthly Premiums Medical, dental, vision, and/or life insurance premiums are automatically deducted from a retiree’s pension check each month (12 times per year). As an example, for the month of May the health, dental and/or life insurance premium is deducted from the pension check issued on the last day of May. When a pension check is less than the premiums due, deductions from the pension check will cease and the retiree is responsible for the monthly payment.

If you need to meet with Employee Benefits, please call 297-2144 to set up an appointment.

Remember:

If you are not making any changes, you do not have to contact us or submit the enclosed election form.

If you are under age 65 and are Medicare eligible, remember to provide a copy of your Medicare card to Employee Benefits.

If you are Medicare eligible, you must enroll in Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance).

Medicare does not allow participants to be enrolled in more than one Medicare Part D prescription plan.

The City sponsored plans include either a Medicare Part D prescription drug plan or credible prescription drug coverage in lieu of Medicare Part D. If you have a non-City sponsored plan with Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage, you will need to decide which plan you wish to continue.

Things to Know for 2025

**Medicare Advantage Plan (MAPD)** For 2025, the rate for the MAPD plan will remain the same.

For retiree only coverage, your monthly cost is less than $100 per month. Additional information on the MAPD plan is on Page 10.

**457 Plan**

We are moving to a single administrator, Voya Financial. This will lower costs for you, provide greater fee transparency, improve services and simplify account management.

MissionSquare and Nationwide are the current record-keepers for the City of Oklahoma City’s deferred compensation plans. Any account you currently have with either MissionSquare or Nationwide will be transferred automatically to Voya® in December 2024. Please refer to pages 32-33 for more information.

**2025 Essential Health Benefits Maximum Out-of-Pocket Limits** (Retirees and Dependents without Medicare) The Affordable Care Act (ACA) establishes a maximum annual out-of-pocket amount for in-network Essential Health Benefits (EHBs). This provision does not apply to the Medicare secondary plan or the Medicare Advantage plan as outlined in the Affordable Care Act. Copays, coinsurance and deductibles for all in-network plan benefits generally apply toward the out-of-pocket limits. For plan year 2025, the maximum essential health benefits in-network out-of-pocket limits for the City of Oklahoma City’s plans are as follows:

BlueCross BlueShield PPO Plans:

Although your beneficiaries and/or designation of proceeds may not have changed, your beneficiaries address and/ or contact information may not be current. Please take this opportunity to complete the Group Life Beneficiary Designation form located on the retiree website: www.okc.gov/retirees

**Dependent Verification** Employee Benefits may periodically request verification to ensure current documentation for dependents enrolled in the City’s medical and dental plans are on file. You may receive a letter requesting documentation for verification of eligibility. You must comply with the request. Failure to do so may result in loss of coverage for your dependent(s). You do not need to contact Employee Benefits to inquire about your file. If your file is selected for verification, you will receive a letter.

BlueCross BlueShield of Oklahoma administers the City’s Group EPO health plan. Under this health plan you may go to any physician. However, it is to your advantage to go to a network provider to maximize your health plan’s benefits and lower out-of-pocket expenses. For questions regarding the plan or a list of BlueCross BlueShield of Oklahoma PPO providers, visit the account representative on-site during the enrollment period, contact a representative of the Employee Benefits Division or visit the City’s BlueCross BlueShield of Oklahoma web site at www.bcbsok. com/okc.

Prescription Plan

Prime Therapeutics is the pharmacy manager for this Plan. For questions, regarding your pharmacy benefits please contact the 1-877-546-2779. Please visit, www.myPrime.com, or download the MyBlueRxOK app to compare drug costs, prescription refill reminders, search for in-network pharmacies, find drug costs, coverage information and any additional self-help inquires. The City of Oklahoma employees utilizes the Basic drug list for medications approved for use and/or covered by the plan.

The Advantage network does not include CVS pharmacies. If you have prescriptions with CVS, you must transfer your prescriptions to an in-network pharmacy in order to receive benefits.

Specialty Pharmacy

The BlueCard Program

The BlueCard Program allows you to use a BlueCross BlueShield of Oklahoma EPO/PPO Physician or Hospital outside the state of Oklahoma and to receive the advantages of EPO/PPO benefits and savings.

Health Plan Provisions

Coverage is provided only for a service or supply, which is “necessary for diagnosis, care or treatment of a physical or mental condition involved.” Only that part of a charge that is “reasonable and customary” is payable.

Pre-Certification is required for inpatient hospital services, skilled nursing facility services, services received in a Coordinated Home Care Program, and private duty nursing services, at least one day prior to the scheduling of the admission.

Private room limit is the Institution’s semi-private rate. If the institution does not offer a semi-private rate, a semi -search rate will be utilized for coverage.

Medical or dental benefits paid by “other plans” will be taken into account when determining benefits under this Plan. Medicare benefits will be calculated before the medical benefits of this Plan are determined.

Claims

Claims must be filed with the Claims Administrator within twelve (12) months of the date of service. Claims received after twelve (12) months will be denied.

The Claims Administrator will have discretionary authority to construe and interpret the Plans and determine whether a particular claim is covered.

BlueCross BlueShield of Oklahoma has established a process to review your dissatisfactions, complaints and/or appeals. If you have a question or complaint, an initial attempt should be made to resolve the problem by directly communicating with a BlueCross BlueShield of Oklahoma Service Representative. In most cases, a Customer Service Representative will be able to provide you with a satisfactory solution to your problem.

However if a resolution cannot be reached in an informal exchange, you may request an administrative review of the problem through the appeal process described in the Oklahoma City Group Indemnity Healthcare Plan Document.

Right of Subrogation

In the event you are injured in an accident caused by the negligence of a third party, (i.e. automobile accident, supermarket slip and fall, etc.), the Plans will pay eligible claims. However, the Plans reserve the right to recover expenses paid on your or your dependent’s behalf, from the negligent third party or from you if you receive a monetary settlement. You are required to notify the Plan Administrator of all such injuries.

Plan Modification and Amendment

The Mayor and City Council may modify or amend the Plans from time to time at its sole discretion and such amendments or modifications may affect Covered Persons, which could include elimination of any Plan

BlueCross BlueShield of Oklahoma administers the City’s Group PPO health plan. Under this health plan you may go to any physician.

However, it is to your advantage to go to a network provider to maximize your health plan’s benefits and lower out-of-pocket expenses. For ques ons regarding the plan or a list of BlueCross BlueShield of Oklahoma PPO providers, visit the account representa ve on-site during the enrollment period, contact a representa ve of the Employee Benefits Division or visit the City’s BlueCross BlueShield of Oklahoma web site at www.bcbsok. com/okc.

Two PPO Plan Op ons

There are two plan op ons available: Alternate Plan and Standard Plan. Summary charts are available on the previous pages to iden fy the differences.

Medicare

The plan offers re rees and covered dependents to be split par cipants under one plan. Split par cipant coverage is when one or more individual(s) is Medicare eligible and the other covered individual(s) are not Medicare eligible. Premiums reduce to the Medicare rate upon the first individual reaching Medicare eligibility. No further reduc ons in rate occurs for subsequent covered inindividual(s) becoming Medicare eligible.

Once a par cipant becomes Medicare Eligible, Medicare becomes the primary payer. BCBS will process claims and payments based on enrollment in Part A and B. Failure to maintain enrollment in Part A and/or Part B will result in you being responsible for payment of services that would have been covered under Medicare.

Prescrip on Plan

Prime Therapeutics is the pharmacy manager for this Plan. For questions, regarding your pharmacy benefits please contact the 1-877-546-2779. Please visit, www.myPrime.com, or download the MyBlueRxOK app to compare drug costs, prescription refill reminders, search for in-network pharmacies, find drug costs, coverage information and any additional self-help inquires. The City of Oklahoma employees utilizes the Basic drug list for medications approved for use and/or covered by the plan.

The Advantage network does not include CVS pharmacies. If you have prescriptions with CVS, you must transfer your prescriptions to an in-network pharmacy in order to receive benefits.

• Mail Order/Home Delivery If you are taking a covered, maintenance (or long-term) medicine, consider using the home delivery pharmacy service, Express Scripts® Pharmacy. With home delivery, you enjoy the ease of having your maintenance drugs delivered anywhere in the U.S. You could also save time and possibly money.

To start using the home delivery pharmacy service visit express-scripts.com/rx. Click on “Register Now” or “Get Started” to create an account using your Member ID and follow the steps, or you can call (833) 715-0942. Your doctor can send a new prescription electronically to EXPRESS SCRIPTS HOME DELIVERY, or by phone or fax.

• Specialty Pharmacy Specialty medicines are used to treat conditions like multiple sclerosis, hepatitis C and rheumatoid arthritis. These prescriptions that are approved for self-administration (like oral capsules or injections you can give yourself) must be filled through an in-network specialty pharmacy to avoid paying higher out-of-pocket costs. Your drug list may have a mark for specialty drugs, and if it requires prior authorization.

• Prior Authoriza on A prior authoriza on is a requirement that the physician obtain approval prior to prescribing a specific medica on. Your physician will be responsible for submi ng the required documenta on.

• Step Therapy Some medica ons require that alterna ves be prescribed and determined to be ineffec ve or not appropriate treatment op ons. Your physician will be responsible for submi ng the required documenta on.

Group ID# K19574 Employee Information This is a general summary of your benefit d esign. P lease refer t o your dental benefit booklet for other details and for limitations and exclusions.

Eligibility The following eligibility provisions apply:

• Dependent children are covered to age 26. Disabled dependent children can be covered beyond age 26.

• Retirees are eligible for coverage.

Pre-Existing Condition A pre-existing condition exclusion will apply to expenses involving the replacement of teeth that were missing prior to the effective date of the dental contract. This exclusion will not apply to:

• Any participant who becomes eligible on the dental contract date who was covered under a previous group dental care contract by the Employer.

• Any participant who has been continuously covered for 24 months under a group dental care contract with BlueCross BlueShield of Oklahoma, which included prosthetic benefits.

Limitations When the course of treatment will be in excess of $300, a predetermination request should be submitted to BlueCross BlueShield of Oklahoma in advance of treatment. It is the covered persons responsibility to ensure the request is submitted.

Freedom of Choice The dental plan allows you the freedom to choose any dentist you wish. Below highlights the differences between choosing a Contracting Network Dentist and a Non-Contracting Dentist, who is not part of BlueCross BlueShield of Oklahoma’s Dental network

Contracting Network Dentist Regardless of which plan you are enrolled in (Low Plan Option or High Plan Option), when you receive services from a Contracting Network Dentist, you receive the following advantages:

• Reduced out-of-pocket costs due to the provider accepting a negotiated (discounted) allowed amount;

• No balance billing for amounts over the allowed amount. However, you are still responsible for your co-insurance amount;

• No referral needed for specialty dentists;

• Contracting network dentists will submit claims for you.

When you receive services from a Non-Contracting Dentist, your out– of-pocket cost will be greater, as Non-Contracting Dentists do not accept any negotiated (discounted) fees. Therefore, the dentist will be reimbursed based on the Allowed Amount, as determined by the plan, and you are balanced billed for costs exceeding the BlueCross BlueShield of Oklahoma Maximum Allowable Amount.

Please note, there is a difference on how Non-Contracting Dentists are reimbursed, based on the plan you may be enrolled in:

• Low Plan Option:

Claims will be reimbursed at the Maximum Allowable Charge (MAC).

This is where the plan will pay a set dollar amount for each procedure, regardless of the actual billed charge. You will be balance billed for the difference between BlueCross BlueShield of Oklahoma MAC and the total billed charge. You are required to file claim forms.

• High Plan Option:

Claims will be reimbursed at a Usual and Customary (U&C) Allowed Amount, which is based on the geographic location of the rending dentist. The U&C Allowed Amount may be higher or lower than what your dentist charged, so you may be balanced billed for the costs exceeding the BlueCross BlueShield of Oklahoma U&C Allowable Amount.

Please note that our dental plan is a “freestanding” product and can be purchased separately from the health product (i.e., an employee can elect employee only coverage for health, but elect dental for the family).
