If you meet the eligibility requirements for Retired Plan A, B, or C, and you are not eligible for Medicare, you may choose to enroll yourself, your spouse, if under age 65, and eligible dependents for group medical, prescription drug, dental, and vision benefits. There are four options available to you:

1. You may choose the Retired Trust Plan's medical and prescription drug benefits only if you do not reside in the Providence or Kaiser service areas. If you reside in the Providence or Kaiser service areas, you must enroll in one of these plans for your medical coverage.

If the Retired Trust Plan provides your medical benefits, Kroger Prescription Plan provides prescription drug benefits and VSP provides vision benefits. You also have the option of obtaining dental benefits through the Retired Trust Plan, Willamette Dental or Kaiser (you must reside in the Kaiser service area).

2. If you reside in the Providence service area and enroll in Providence, your medical and prescription drug benefits will be provided by Providence. VSP provides vision benefits. You also have the option of obtaining dental benefits through the Retired Trust Plan, Willamete Dental or Kaiser (you must reside in the Kaiser service area).

3. If you reside in the Kaiser Permanente service area, your medical, prescription drug and vision benefits will be provided by Kaiser. You also have the option of obtaining dental benefits through Kaiser or the Retired Trust Plan.

You can obtain information about Providence, Kaiser Permanente or Willamette Dental by contacting the Plan Administrator.

You may change enrollment from one plan to another plan offered by the Harrison Trust for which you qualify during the open enrollment period held annually during the month of November for new coverage effective January 1. If you change plans during the open enrollment period, you must complete an enrollment form and return it to the Plan Administrator at 1220 S.W. Morrison Street, Suite 300, Portland, Oregon 97205.

If you are considering changing plans, you should consult and refer to the benefit packet offered by Providence, Kaiser or the Retired Trust Plan for the eligibility requirements to participate in the Plan, the schedule of benefits, exclusions for preexisting conditions, and the claims procedure.
