Introduction

About the DePaul Emeritus Society

DePaul University values its ongoing connections with its faculty and staff retirees, as it values their past contributions to the university’s mission. The DePaul University Emeritus Society was founded in 2008 with the merger of the Staff Emeritus Society and the Emeritus Professors Association. The Society is sponsored by the University’s Office of Mission and Values.

The purpose of the DePaul Emeritus Society is to provide a means for ongoing connection, communication, and socialization between the university and its emeritus faculty and staff, and between individual retirees whose professional lives were for so many years dedicated to university service.

Photos, events, and information of interest to members of the DePaul Emeritus Society will be posted to this blog. Please take a look, add your comment, offer to be an "author" or just enjoy.

Overview of Retiree Benefit Changes for 2012

Human Resources will be conducting two sessions on the upcoming retiree medical plan changes for 2012. 
  • Wednesday, October 12, 9:30 - 10:00 a.m., LPC Student Center, Room 325
  • Wednesday, October 12, 1:30 - 2:00 p.m., Loop DePaul Center, Concourse Level
The changes include:

§ Enhanced Mail-Order Prescription Drug Program. Effective January 1, 2012 the mail order prescriptions (90-day supply) will be based on the following co-pay structure:
Co-Pay/Generic Drug -- $20
Formulary Drug -- $50
Non-formulary Drug -- $80

§ Blue Cross Blue Shield to Out-of-network services. Starting January 1, 2012 BCBS is changing its reimbursement rates for services by Non-PPO/non-contract providers to match Medicare reimbursement rates. This may result in retirees being responsible for additional out-of-pocket expenses if they use out-of-network services.

§ Streamlined Billing and Collection of Retiree Medical Premium. The administrative function for billing and collection will be changing in 2012 to better serve retiree medical plan participants. Retirees will receive details and instructions for submitting payment in a separate mailing. We are asking retirees not to send their 2012 medical premium payment with the enrollment materials.
