For those who retired before 1989 from the Home Office or a Distribution Center
Good health makes everything better — especially retirement. That’s why Levi Strauss & Co. offers benefits that support your health and well-being, so you can focus on what matters most.
For retirees age 65 and older who are eligible for Medicare, along with their eligible dependents.
Once you turn 65, you’ll need to enroll in Medicare, or you’ll have no medical coverage.
Your United Healthcare (UHC) medical plan becomes Prescription Only coverage through OptumRx, with the effective date of your Medicare coverage. You are automatically enrolled in this prescription coverage when you turn age 65. [Link > Rx content]
Your medical coverage options once you are 65 or older:
How to apply for Medicare
You automatically receive a Medicare application when applying for Social Security benefits. If you decide to defer your Social Security benefits, initiate your Medicare enrollment with Social Security by phone or online.
When you turn 65, you’ll need prescription drug coverage to avoid gaps in benefits and to avoid potential Medicare penalties. That’s why we offer prescription drug coverage to retirees enrolled in a LS&Co. United Healthcare Plan. You pay full premiums for this coverage.
Automatic coverage while you decide
To ensure you have continuous prescription coverage, LS&Co. automatically enrolls UHC medical plan participants in prescription coverage through Optum Rx when you (or eligible dependents) turn 65. This gives you time to explore your options and decide what works best for you. Your drug cost depends on where you fill prescriptions (retail or mail order) and the type of drug.
You can waive or terminate this automatic prescription coverage at any time.
Optum Rx ID card
You must use your Optum Rx ID card for all prescription claims — it’s the only way to get coverage.
Questions about your prescriptions?
Connect with Integrity Pharmaceutical Advisors (IPA) when you need help. For example, if coverage was denied, you didn’t receive a mail-order refill, or a prescription cost more than expected; IPA Concierge can be your advocate.
Registered pharmacists are ready to help you navigate any challenges — at no cost to you.
Your long-term prescription coverage options
Important: If you go longer than 63 days without prescription drug coverage, you may face late-enrollment penalties and higher premiums.
About creditable coverage
Prescription coverage through LS&Co. is considered “creditable coverage,” meaning it meets Medicare standards and is expected to pay out as much as standard Medicare drug coverage. This protects you from paying a higher premium (Part D penalty) if you enroll in Medicare Part D later.
We’ve partnered with Allsup Benefits Coordination to ensure you have access to the best, most cost-effective health insurance options. A dedicated specialist will consult with you about your health plan decisions. LS&CO covers the service cost, so it’s completely free to you.
