When you retire, you have the option to enroll in an ICUBA Medicare Supplemental Plan from AmWINS, which will provide supplemental Medicare coverage at a lower cost.
You may review or download their coverage package HERE.
(Rates will be added April 1st, 2024)
You can enroll in a Medicare plan after retirement.
If you want to shop options, you can go to https://www.medicare.gov/health-drug-plans/health-plans or contact SHINE (Serving Health Insurance Needs of Elders) at 954-745-9779 or by email at information@elderaffairs.org for free and confidential one-on-one assistance in Medicare, Medicaid, and health insurance questions.
You will be offered a Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) package which is automatic for benefits eligible employees separating from the university to continue your NSU benefits for up to 18 months.
Notification for eligibility to continue coverage under the provisions of the (COBRA) will be sent to you via US Mail within 14 days of your last date of employment directly from ICUBA's COBRA administrator.
Continuation of coverage under COBRA is retroactive but not seamless. Continuing insurance under COBRA is retroactive from your date of eligibility once you make an election and pay your premium, but you may experience a gap in coverage until your premium is paid.
