Report National Health Plan Enrollment

 

Summary

Retiree Medical Insurance Plan (RMIP) participants are required to join the National Health Plan (NHP) for which they are eligible and in which they can participate on the same level as other nationals of their country of residence. The NHP program, Medicare, applies to U.S. citizens and U.S. permanent residents.

Effective 01/01/2016, U.S. based retirees enrolled in Medicare will have to enroll in the Employee Group Waiver Program (EGWP) if they wish to continue the pharmacy coverage through the World Bank Group. Non-enrollment in EGWP plan will result in cancellation of pharmacy coverage from the Medicare effective date after 1/1/2016.

Attention:

NHP enrollment for self, spouse, or registered domestic partner must be reported to HR Operations.



A staff member in the U.S. participating in Medicare will receive the following discount or premium reimbursement based on his/her NHP enrollment:

  • U.S. Medicare Part A: No discount**
  • U.S. Medicare Part B: Full Reimbursement of standard premium and, if applicable, Income Related Monthly Adjustment Amount (IRMAA) Part B
  • U.S. Medicare Part D: IRMAA Part D
  • Other National Health Plan: 40 or 20 percent discount per participant based on the selected RMIP coverage

Note:

**The amount of the discount/reimbursement is subject to change.


For a retiree enrolled in the Dual Plan or Family Plan, the discount would be one-half of these amounts for each retiree and spouse/domestic partner participant who is enrolled in NHP. For the Medicare Part B premium, each retiree and each spouse/domestic partner will receive full reimbursement.
