In case you were confused...

As we noted in an earlier post, UCLA Health has created its own Medicare Advantage plan for those eligible for Medicare. However, the UCLA plan is NOT an option for those who are eligible for UC retiree health.

Many UC retirees may have received letters such as this one. At least 6 variants have appeared at the mailing address of yours truly. The fact that the letters say UCLA Health on the top and come at the same time that UC has its open enrollment was confusing. This blog warned its readers that if they were recipients of UC retiree health insurance, they should not sign up for the UCLA plan thinking it was an option.* Furthermore, on the reverse side of the letter shown, there is a cautionary note in small print indicating that those under any kind of employer-based group plan should not be enrolling in the UCLA plan. The UCLA plan is for individuals, not groups.

If you somehow signed up anyway despite these warnings, you will want to undo what you did.
