Oxford Requiring all NY enrolled members to have Medicare Part A and Part B!

PLEASE SEE THE IMPORTANT  UPDATE BELOW REGARDING THE BREAKING NEWS EMAIL WE SENT  OUT FRIDAY:
 
Beginning July 1, 2020, for groups where Medicare is primary, Oxford will require all New York members who have a fully insured small (1-100) or large group (101+) medical benefits plan and are enrolled in Medicare Part A as their primary insurance must enroll in a Medicare Part B plan as well.

A letter will be sent out to these members in the first half of 2020, informing them of the Medicare Estimation that will be applied when processing their claims.  Members are reminded about the upcoming open enrollment period for Medicare Part B coverage, January 1, 2020, through March 31, 2020.
