What I've learned so far is that not only can we not use Baptist Hospitals (not new) but now any doctor affiliated with Baptist is excluded under the new plan option. This narrows the field of doctors significantly ranging from internists to oncology to surgeons regardless of what other hospitals they have privileges at.
Laura Ladd Beard10/23/2015
Peggy i got a letter a few weeks ago from Baptist Medical Group. It indicated that if you have a Cigna plan other then LocalPlus, you can continue to see your Baptist Medical Group physician. It said if you are a FedEx employee, you need to choose Cigna Open Access Plan. Not sure if this applies to retirees or if is related to what you mentioned above.
Subject: I have about 6 months till I must transition to Medicare.
Jimmy Glenn Burk10/21/2015
I have about 6 months till I must transition to Medicare.For anyone of you have morphed from FedEx Retiree Insurance to Medicare & a Supplemental plan.....I know there is a window when you have to sign up, how many months before did you sign up?
Was the transition good or bad?
Did you save any money over paying for FedEx insurance?thanks for any info
Jack Brown10/21/2015
Per Medicare.gov: For example, if you're eligible for Medicare when you turn 65, you can sign up during the 7-month period that begins 3 months before the month you turn 65, includes the month you turn 65, and ends 3 months after the month you turn 65. https://www.medicare.gov/sign-up-change-plans/get-parts-a-and-b/when-sign-up-parts-a-and-b/when-sign-up-parts-a-and-b.html
I have about 6 months till I must transition to Medicare.

Pat Greenish, he was later re-org'd to Director and put under Winn's org, so Winn then became the VP, Intl

Carl Wayne Hardeman10/28/2015
Help! Trying to file for me and my wife Your Spending Account reimbursement for the $85 per month Medicare premium. Office has moved from Omaha to El Paso. Telephone number no longer works.
Website only shows my Health Spending Account and not the Medicare reimbursement account.Thanks!
John McCorkle10/28/2015
Carl, are you talking about the www.yourspendingaccount.com/fedex ??
Carl Wayne Hardeman10/28/2015
Yes. It only shows the Health Spending Account and we have to file separately for the Medicare premium reimbursement. We have done it by mail and now no address or telephone number available.
John McCorkle10/28/2015
I think you want to use the OneExchange for that. I show a 1-866-682-4741 number
Debora Williams Waller10/28/2015
Call FedEx Benefits before you call OneExchange. OneExchange will just have to submit an action for FedEx Benefits Dept. You should get something in the mail when you turn 65 but call to verify.
Don Rose10/28/2015
Debora, I am eligible for this $85 per month reimbursement? This is the first I have heard about it and I've been paying Medicare out of SS for 2 years.
Debora Williams Waller10/28/2015
Get on that phone Don! Get your money honey.
Charlotte Benton Hieronymus10/28/2015
I agree with Debora. If you retired from FedEx and have turned 65, and are on Medicare then you qualify.
Don Rose10/28/2015
Who do I call? I turn 67 on Sunday, and I could sure use the money.
Charlotte Benton Hieronymus10/28/2015
It's basically a spending account. You can use it to help with Medicare payments, supplemental insurance, prescription drug coverage, etc.
Debora Williams Waller10/28/2015
Don Rose I'll PM you phone number in a second.
Charlotte Benton Hieronymus10/28/2015
The last phone number I have is 800-888-5622 (employee benefits).
Debora Williams Waller10/28/2015
correct number
Don Rose10/28/2015
Thank you ladies. I assume they are closed now since it's after 5:00, but I'll call them tomorrow morning.
Debora Williams Waller10/28/2015
Note to all, the benefits book says you must activate your HRA within 120 days of the medicare date.
Debora Williams Waller10/28/2015
Also note that your spouse may be eligible for the spending account if covered by group health plan. I don't want to post policy on FB but give enough info for you to research.
Don Rose10/28/2015
I haven't seen a benefits book since I retired 10/01/2003. How was I to know about this benefit? I have received nothing in the mail.
Mary Drummond10/29/2015
You gotta keep your address updated with Fedex Retirement. Every time I move, have to figure out how to update.
Don Rose10/29/2015
They have my address. The only thing I see from FedEx is a monthly notice saying my check was deposited.

Subject: Walking the Haunted Halls
Jimmy Glenn Burk10/31/2015
Walking the Haunted HallsI've been back to the WTC twice since I retired about 7+ years ago. Last year and this year for their Halloween thing for kids. The employees do an excellent job for the children with lots of candy and several Haunted Houses.As I walked the halls, I saw about 4-5 people I knew, and I looked at nameplates on the offices and cubicles as I walked with Capt America, Princess Rapunzel & Princess Sofia the First.I only could recognize a few names in the 100+ namplates I looked at. With the last buyout, I guess the mantle has changed and there are lots of new & younger blood walking these haunted halls.It was a Blast being there again. I can only hope that this new age of Fedxr's can have half the fun we had 20+ years ago.

Laura Ladd Beard11/3/2015

Terrie Hoerning11/3/2015
If you find out anything, please let me know. In the meantime I'll keep trying 😊
Laura Ladd Beard11/3/2015
Roy is enrolled in One Exchange and that prevents my being able to access anything on line. Benefits said I will never be able to access anything on line or make my selections on line. So, Terrie, if Bill is 65+, that's why you can't get in
Terrie Hoerning11/3/2015
Bill is too. Now I'm not sure how I will enroll. It looks like I'll be calling too. Thanks for the info.
Laura Ladd Beard11/3/2015
They said we should receive the hard copies in the mail by Friday. If we make no changes to our coverage, then no action is required. Otherwise, you have to call them. They also said they could not give me costs until Friday.
Terrie Hoerning11/3/2015
