Get to know your new CCPOA Medical Plan Medicare & Blue Shield of California Medicare Rx Plan

To manage costs and keep healthcare affordable your CCPOA Retiree plan will transition to two new Medicare plans: the CCPOA Medical Plan Medicare (PPO) and the Blue Shield of California Medicare Rx Plan (PDP).

New for 2027

Beginning January 1, 2027, your two new Medicare plans will work together to offer the same coverage for hospital services, medical services, and prescription drug coverage that you have now. You will also have two separate Evidence of Coverage (EOC) plan documents for your medical and prescription drug coverage.

You will automatically be enrolled into the two new plans, but your Medicare plan benefits are not changing. Rest assured, the only change is your Blue Shield member ID card.

New Blue Shield Member ID cards

You will get two new Blue Shield member ID cards with different ID numbers on each.

• When accessing medical care, you will use your medical ID card.

• When you get prescription drugs at in-network pharmacies, you will use your prescription ID card.

We always recommend that you keep both cards with you.

Dedicated customer service

Although you will have two member ID numbers, Blue Shield provides one easy-to-use Customer Service phone number for both your medical and pharmacy benefits. You can contact them at (800) 542-8364 (TTY:711), 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. PT, seven days a week.

Medicare Part B Drugs

You get coverage for these drugs under Part B of Original Medicare from your CCPOA Medical Plan Medicare (PPO) and Blue Shield of California Medicare Rx Plan (PDP). Some examples of these drugs are Insulin, Nebulizer medications, Injectable osteoporosis drugs, some antigens, Oral anti-cancer, Oral ESRD drugs, Intravenous Immune Globulin (IVIG), and more.

Refer to your plan’s Evidence of Coverage (EOC) for more information.

_{Blue Shield of California is a PPO and PDP plan with a Medicare contract. Enrollment in Blue Shield of California depends on contract renewal.}

_{Out-of-network/non-contracted providers are under no obligation to treat Plan members, except in emergency situations. Please call our Customer Service number or see your Evidence of Coverage for more information, including the cost-sharing that applies to out-of-network services.}
