Retiree Benefits Committee Needs YOUR Feedback

Retiree Benefits Committee needs your feedback to protect our medical benefits ASAP

As you know, the District is attempting to change our medical benefits coverage.  The Retiree Benefits Committee has spent weeks comparing the proposed plans to our existing coverage, and we have many serious concerns.

Please help us by going to the link below and checking if the medications you take or have taken are covered under the proposed plans.

Here’s how to do it:

Go to this link:         https://www.optumrx.com/oe_calpers/prescription-drug-list     

Choose a plan:
Click on the blue down arrow.  Choose either:

  • PERS Select/Choice/Care PPO–Basic:
    Retired, under 65
    Retired, over 65, and have NO Medicare or Medicare A only
        OR
  • PERS Select/Choice/Care PPO-Medicare
    Retired, over 65, and have Medicare A & B

Enter the drug name and see if your drug is there

Click on “Prescription drug list” at the top of the screen to return to the drug search page and look for a new drug

Send us an email at vcccdra@gmail.com and let us know either  “they’re all there” or give us a list of missing medications.
