There are some big Medicare plan changes ahead

What plans are changing?

Beginning January 1, 2025, Uniform Medical Plan (UMP) Classic Medicare, Kaiser Permanente Northwest Senior Advantage, and Kaiser Permanente Washington Medicare Advantage will all have Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage. The plan names will change to UMP Classic Medicare with Part D (PDP), Kaiser Permanente Senior Advantage with Part D, and Kaiser Permanente Washington Medicare Advantage with Part D. Kaiser Permanente Washington Original Medicare will no longer be available.

What does this mean for your coverage?

• If you are currently enrolled in UMP Classic Medicare, you will be automatically enrolled in Uniform Classic Medicare with Part D (PDP).
• If you are currently enrolled in Kaiser Permanente Northwest Senior Advantage, you will automatically be enrolled in Kaiser Permanente Northwest Senior Advantage with Part D.
• If you are currently enrolled in Kaiser Permanente Washington Medicare Advantage, you will automatically be enrolled in Kaiser Permanente Washington Medicare Advantage with Part D.
• If you are currently enrolled in Kaiser Permanente Washington Original Medicare, you will need to select a new plan. In 2025, the PEBB Program will no longer offer Kaiser Permanente Washington Original Medicare in Yakima, Benton, Franklin, Walla Walla, Whitman, and Columbia counties, and Mason County ZIP code 98560. You should have received additional communications from Kaiser and the PEBB Program if you are impacted by this change. You can also find more information by visiting Kaiser’s website.
