Retiree Medical Coverage to Change
Beginning Sept. 1, Emory will change the way retiree medical coverage will be provided for current Medicare-eligible retirees. Emory University and Emory Healthcare retirees, and their covered spouses or same sex domestic partners (SSDPs) who are over the age of 65, will transition from Emory's medical plan with Aetna to a Medicare health insurance exchange. This change will allow retirees to shop for and purchase an individual plan that works with their Medicare coverage.  Read more.
