Drug Plan on Double secret probation, you can chan |

Medicare: If you purchased the Cigna Saver Prescription drug plan in the last 2-years or so, you may have discovered Cigna is now Healthspring and your monthly premium went from $15.70 to $65.70 if you did not change your Part D Prescription Drug Plan (PDP) last fall. The OP-F broker did not notify. Please remember to look at your drug plan every year as OP-F allows alight to steer you away from all your options to extort your business for the stipend. In 2026 there are 10ea Part D plans available, OP-F allowed alight to ban four of those plans. One is a ZERO dollar plan.
THE GOOD NEWS: (short version) Healthspring is on double secret probation as a 2.5 star plan so, you can move your drug plan anytime in 2026 to the Wellcare Saver $7.60 (3-star) plan. If alight/AON is your agent of record, sold you the plan, contact them and tell them you would like to use the star-rating and enroll in another plan (3-star or better) if appropriate for you. We have made the alight change and it does work, you may need to ask for an alight supervisor. |

ACA Marketplace update: 17FEB |
|
Tuesday,
December
1,
2026
|
ACA Marketplace, like many of us our premiums have doubled waiting on Congress to do their job. The government shut-down last fall was over extending market place benefits.
Currently the House has approved a 3-year extension. The senate has not moved on anything as we look at another shut-down. In the meantime 1.2 million souls have flat out lost health care as their premiums have jump from the $800s to over $1650/month for crappy HMO insurance. From what I have read our own Freshman senator: Senator Moreno appears to have put himself in charge of the process. Emails from him are the standard "I want to hear from constituents", not responding to my emails. Our other Senator: Jon Husted was not elected by the people, he was placed in JD Vance's seat by Dewine after JD went to Washington. Senator Husted seat is up for election during mid-terms this fall. They can be contacted:
Bernie Moreno: 202-224-2315 or https://www.moreno.senate.gov/contact/
Jon Husted: 202-224-3353 or https://www.husted.senate.gov/contact/contact-jon/
Please remember the Ohio Police and Fire Pension as well as Ohio Public Employees System have brought this down on us. The pensions are the problem.
Stay safe and look out for one another... no one else will. |

This does not affect Medical Supplement Plans
This means the Ohio State Wexner Medical Center and The James services, physicians, care teams and facilities will be out of Humana�s network beginning Thursday, Oct. 1, 2026.
Humana has a 90-day legal obligation to cover after 1OCT. This will take you through Medicare Open Enrollment 15OCT to 7DEC2026 to change Advantage plans for the 2027 plan year.
Please note: If you only have a Medicare Advantage Plan (Part C) through alight, due to OP-F extortion rules, you will are required to change plans through the alight to protect your stipend and of course, alights commissions. (agent of record).

2027 Medicare Drug plans OP-F/alight steering |
|
Monday,
December

2026
|
There are 9 Medicare Part D drug plans available for 2027. OP-F allows alight to steer you to only 4 plans toward your stipend.
They appear to be the most expensive and all 4 have the lowest quality star ratings from Medicare.
If you like your current plan... "as long as the insurance company is offering the plan next year and you are up to date on premium payments, you can keep your plan. You must be enrolled in either a medical or prescription drug plan through Alight in order to be eligible for the stipend. https://op-f.org/RetiredMembers/ALIGHTHRAFAQ
Example: alight banned the Wellcare Value script again for the new member 2027 stipend eligibility. If you already have that plan you can keep it and the premium went down to $5.30/month.
New members choices will be one $15.70 plan or the other 3 plan premiums that start over $127 and go to $200.4 per month.

Today's Featured Biography
Robert Smith
Retired from Dayton Fire Dept. after 36 years and 3 months of service. What an amazing experience. I wouldn't have traded one minute of it. I already miss that great big DFD family I lived with every third day. The most talented and wonderful people on the planet. That time went by way too fast, so enjoy each other every day. Thanks for all the great memories.
Bob
