Press Release Date: Tuesday, July 15, 2014 Contact Information: Kentucky Retirement Systems Questions call: 1-800-928-4646 The Kentucky Department for Employee Insurance recently announced that Anthem will be replacing Humana as Plan Administrator for Plan Year 2015. KRS provides access to group health insurance coverage through the Kentucky Employees Health Plan (KEHP) for recipients until they reach age 65 and/or become eligible for Medicare. After a retired member becomes eligible for Medicare, coverage is available through a Medicare eligible plan offered by KRS. Retired Members NOT Eligible for Medicare Your coverage is provided through the Kentucky Employees Health Plan (KEHP), and the Administrator for Plan Year 2015 will be Anthem. KEHP is a self-insured health plan—meaning the KEHP determines your benefit plan designs, not a third party insurance company. A third party insurance company does however contract with the KEHP to administer the medical plans—for example they process claims and maintain a medical network. At this time we do not have detailed information regarding Plan Options. Please see KEHP FAQs for more information https://personnel.ky.gov/Pages/KEHPvendorupdates.aspx. As KRS receives updates, we will post this information under the Insurance section on our website. Retired Members Eligible for Medicare Your Plan Administrator will not change. KRS will continue to partner with Humana to provide coverage for our members who are eligible for Medicare. We expect a passive enrollment period in Fall 2014. You should still read all enrollment materials thoroughly to ensure you have selected the plan that best fits your needs. Insurance Benefits We understand that insurance benefits are very important to our members. We will be hosting a series of insurance informational webinars during October. As soon as the schedule is available it will be posted on our website and Facebook page.
