Health Care Reform: What it Means 
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act signed into law has significant implication for employers, like NU, that offer comprehensive health benefits to employees, retirees, and their families. NU is reviewing the final legislation to determine what changes to its health plan design may be required and will work diligently to adopt any changes required in a timely manner. The bill contains a number of provisions that are of interest to retirees and employers—such as a temporary reinsurance program that would reimburse the Plan for part of pre-65 retiree health expenses, the phasing-out of the Medicare Part D “donut hole,” the establishment of health insurance exchanges, and the expansion of coverage eligibility for dependent children. NU will keep retirees informed as details emerge, and will provide communications well in advance of any change that will impact the NUSCO Retiree Health Plan design or benefit enrollment choices. As we work through the details, we continue to uphold our commitment of providing quality health care benefits to retirees—and will work to incorporate any required changes in a way that delivers the most value. Communication regarding any known plan changes will be consolidated and included within the annual benefits Open Enrollment materials planned for distribution in October.
