Benefit comparison
RCBP High Option with Medicare compared to Aetna Medicare Advantage for RCBP
Benefits at a glance
The RCBP High Option column shows benefits when Medicare Parts A and B are your primary coverage.
RCBP waives your calendar year deductible and most copayments and coinsurance, (except for prescription drugs), and pays Medicare’s deductible and coinsurance for services covered by both Medicare and RCBP.
Do not rely on this chart alone. All benefits are fully described in the official Plan Brochure.
| Benefit type | RCBP with Medicare | Aetna Medicare Advantage for RCBP |
|---|---|---|
| Annual Part B premium reduction | N/A | Each eligible member receives a $1,200 ($100 monthly) Medicare Part B premium reduction. |
| Deductible | $0 | $0 |
| Out-of-pocket maximum | $5,000 per person (medical and prescription) | $2,000 per person (prescription only) |
| Coinsurance | $0, except prescription drugs | $0, except prescription drugs |
Note: This chart assumes Medicare Parts A and B are primary and that covered services are provided by doctors and facilities that participate with Medicare. RCBP does not pay 100% when services are provided by a doctor under a private contract that provides for direct billing and no Medicare coverage. This is also a summary of Medicare features.
