Learn about your new Medicare Part D plan
Beginning January 1, 2025, UMP Classic Medicare, Kaiser Permanente NW Senior Advantage, and Kaiser Permanente WA Medicare Advantage all have Medicare Part D coverage.
What does this mean for my coverage?
- If you were previously enrolled in UMP Classic Medicare, you were automatically enrolled in UMP Classic Medicare with Part D (PDP).
- If you were previously enrolled in Kaiser Permanente Northwest Senior Advantage, you were automatically enrolled in Kaiser Permanente Northwest Senior Advantage with Part D.
- If you were previously enrolled in Kaiser Permanente Washington Medicare Advantage, you were automatically enrolled in Kaiser Permanente Washington Medicare Advantage with Part D.

I didn't know about this change. How was it shared with members?
The PEBB Program mailed the following materials to all affected retiree members:
- October For Your Benefit PEBB retiree newsletter – mailed and emailed on October 9, 2024
- PEBB Retiree Open Enrollment letter and FAQ - mailed on October 16, 2024

Are my Part D premiums separate from my medical plan?
No, your PEBB plan monthly premium includes both your medical and Part D premium.
How much will my prescriptions cost?
Please contact your plan to learn about formularies and out-of-pocket costs.
Why can't I use manufacturer coupons for my prescriptions anymore?
Federal subsidies and manufacturer discounts cover a significant portion of drug costs for Medicare Part D plans, therefore you cannot use manufacturer coupons with a Part D plan.
Why do I have to pay another IRMAA now?
If your income is above a certain level, the Social Security Administration (SSA) determines the Income Related Monthly Adjustment Amount (IRMAA) you may pay in addition to your Medicare Part B and Part D premiums. Please contact the SSA directly for specific information on your IRMAA. You can also visit Medicare Interactive: Part D costs for those with higher incomes to learn more about IRMAA.
