Disclaimers
The International Brotherhood of Teamsters Voluntary Employee Benefits Trust is a PDP with a Medicare contract. Enrollment in Teamster Plus Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Program (PDP) depends on contract renewal. Plan sponsors can choose not to renew their contract with CMS
and CMS may also refuse to renew the contract, thus resulting in a termination or
non-renewal. This may result in termination of the beneficiary's enrollment in the
plan. In addition, the plan sponsor may reduce its service area and no longer offer
services in the area where the beneficiary resides.
Eligibility Requirements
Teamster retirees, spouses, and surviving spouses who are entitled to Medicare Part A and/or enrolled in Medicare Part B and live in the plan's service area qualify for Teamster Plus Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Program (PDP).
Participation is not automatic—you
must enroll in Medicare Part D to receive benefits. You are entitled to this program
regardless of your health history or the drugs you take.
Important Information
You may only be enrolled in one Part D plan at a time.
If you are enrolled in a Medicare Advantage (MA) plan, you may not enroll in Teamster Plus Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Program (PDP) unless you are a member of a Private Fee-for-Service (PFFS) or a Medical Savings Account (MSA) plan.

If you qualify for Extra Help for your Medicare prescription drug plan costs, the amount of your premium and costs at the pharmacy is less. Once you are enrolled in Teamster Plus Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Program (PDP), Medicare tells us how much assistance you receive. We then send you information on the amount of premium you will pay.
