The NEA® Retiree Health Program’s rates are, on average, lower than the nation’s most popular Medicare supplement program. That means if you already have a Medicare supplement policy, and you switch, you could get extra spending money every month. You can check rates by state with this interactive map.
The NEA Plan is not an HMO. Choose your own doctors and hospitals.
You cannot be turned down due to health reasons! No physical exam is ever required and you don’t have to answer any health questions when you sign up during open enrollment periods or when you’re enrolling in Medicare Part B for the first time.
The NEA Members Insurance Trust selected United American Insurance Company to underwrite this program because of their reliable history serving policy holders with quality insurance since 1947 and their rating of A Excellent as of 7/20.
