Pre-Medicare benefit recipients

As a Pre-Medicare benefit recipient, you can enroll in any medical plan you choose. Although it's not required, if you are looking for a medical plan, we highly recommend exploring coverage options with the OPERS Connector. Via Benefits is a resource that helps benefit recipients understand and navigate individual and family health plan options.
Via Benefits isn't an insurance carrier. It's a company that provides:

• Consulting – Via Benefits helps you understand your funding options. If you qualify for a federal subsidy, Via Benefits will walk you through a side-by-side comparison to help you decide between taking advantage of the federal subsidy or opting in to the OPERS HRA if eligible. By law, you can't have both at the same time.
• Education, support, and assistance – Via Benefits provides these services to benefit recipients and their dependents when selecting and enrolling in individual or family coverage options.
• HRA administrative services – Via Benefits reviews claims and issues reimbursements for all eligible recipients that opt into the HRA.
• Ongoing benefit recipient support after medical plan enrollment – Via Benefits is an experienced, informed, and unbiased Connector that will help you understand your medical plan details at any time and help you re-evaluate your needs on an annual basis.
