HB 2308 -- Medicare Eligibility for State Employees

Sponsor:  Burlison

Currently, when a state employee becomes eligible for the
Missouri Medicare Program, the employee's primary health benefit
plan is the state-sponsored health benefit plan and Medicare is
the supplemental plan; however, the state-sponsored plan must
provide the same benefits as those provided by the Medicare plan.
This bill requires the state plan to provide actuarially
equivalent benefits as compared to Medicare, but Medicare must
act as the primary benefit plan when Medicare would provide equal
or better benefits than the state-sponsored health benefit plan.
