If you have supplemental Medicare coverage through Aon Retiree Health Exchange or USG retiree coverage, take action during these dates:
Attend a session at the systemwide Virtual Benefits Fair, explore this website or watch a short benefits overview video to help you prepare for your 2022 Open Enrollment.
If you’re satisfied with your supplemental coverage, you only need to take action if your Aon Retiree Health Exchange plan will be discontinued or if there are major changes for 2022. You’ll receive a notice from your carrier in early October if this is the case.
However, even if you are satisfied with your current coverage and your plan does not have major changes, the list of covered medications and networks (covered doctors) may also change. Therefore, it is a good idea to confirm that your medications and doctors are still covered under your healthcare plan periodically.
Remember, in order for USG to provide a contribution to your Health Reimbursement Account (HRA), you remain enrolled in at least one supplemental insurance (Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement, or Medicare Prescription Drug Plan) through the Aon Retiree Health Exchange.
Need to make changes to your healthcare coverage for 2022? Medicare Open Enrollment is the only time you can do so. There are different enrollment periods depending on the plan you’re enrolled in:
Tip! If your plan is changing or going away, you will receive will a letter from your carrier and an invitation to schedule an enrollment appointment with the Aon Retiree Health Exchange.

As long as you’re enrolled in a healthcare and/or prescription drug plan through the Aon Retiree Health Exchange, you will continue to receive USG’s annual contribution to your HRA. In 2022, USG will make a $2,736 contribution, which can be used for things like Medicare Part B premiums, Medigap, Medicare Advantage and Medicare Prescription premiums, as well as out-of-pocket costs related to these plans.
To ensure you are taking advantage of the annual contributions, join Aon for an HRA Education session on:

No. You are not eligible for an HRA or USG’s contribution if you are not continuously enrolled in at least one plan through the Aon Retiree Health Exchange (including Medicare Supplement, Medicare Advantage or Prescription Part D).
When you enroll through Aon, your insurance company will submit your new premium to Your Spending Account (YSA) so you continue to be accurately reimbursed. This could take up to 60 days from the new premium effective date. You will most likely see this delay with your January premium reimbursement. If you enrolled outside of Aon for one of your plans (USG dental/vision or Medicare Part B), you will need to submit a new claim and documentation showing the amount of your new monthly premium in order to be accurately reimbursed. As a reminder, you must enroll or maintain your enrollment in a medical and/or prescription drug plan through Aon to remain eligible for the HRA through USG.
Your Spending Account (YSA) is the administrator that holds your HRA contributions and manages your reimbursement requests. To access your HRA online:
