Disclaimers
The International Brotherhood of Teamsters Voluntary Employee Benefits Trust contracts with the federal government and is a Medicare-approved provider of the Part D plan.
Eligibility Requirements
To be eligible for Part D and to enroll in TEAMStar Medicare Part D, an individual must be:
- Entitled to Medicare benefits under Part A or enrolled in Medicare Part B.
- Living in the TEAMStar Medicare Part D service area (continental United States).
Additional enrollment information:
- You may only be enrolled in one Part D plan at a time.
- If enrolled in a Medicare Advantage (MA) plan, you may not enroll in TEAMStar Medicare Part D unless you are a member of a Private Fee-for-Service MA plan (PFFS) or a Medical Savings Account MA plan (MSA).
The TEAMStar Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Program has formed a network of pharmacies. You must use a network pharmacy to receive plan benefits. TEAMStar Medicare Part D may not pay for your prescriptions if you use an out-of-network pharmacy, except in certain cases. The pharmacies in our network can change at any time. You can ask for a pharmacy directory or call Customer Service for an up-to-date list.
Beneficiaries interested in available Medicare Part D subsidies may contact TEAMStar Medicare Part D Customer Service at 866-524-4173 (TTY/TDD users: 866-524-4174), 800-MEDICARE/800-633-4227 (TTY/TDD users: 877-486-2048), their state Medicaid office, or local Social Security Administration office.
If you have qualified for additional assistance for your Medicare prescription drug plan costs, the amount of your premium and cost at the pharmacy will be less. Once you have enrolled in TEAMStar Medicare Part D, Medicare will tell us how much assistance you are receiving, and we will send you information on the amount you will pay. If you are not receiving this additional assistance, you should contact MEDICARE/800-633-4227 (TTY/TDD users: 877-486-2048), your state Medicaid office, or local Social Security Administration office to see if you might qualify.
If you have a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) policy that includes prescription drug coverage, you must contact your Medigap issuer to let them know that you have joined a Medicare prescription drug plan. If you decide to keep your current Medigap supplement policy, your Medigap issuer will remove the prescription drug coverage portion of your policy and adjust your premium. Under certain circumstances, you can also buy a different Medigap policy without prescription drug coverage sold by your Medigap Issuer. Your Medigap issuer cannot charge you more based on any past or present health problems. Call your Medigap issuer for details.
