Retiree Benefits

Michigan State University is seeking proposals to administer its retiree health‑benefit portfolio, which includes pre‑65 medical and pharmacy coverage, Medicare Advantage, and Medicare Part D. The selected vendor must be fully licensed, possess CMS authorizations for Medicare products, and be ready to launch services by 1 January 2028 for roughly 9,000 covered lives. Proposals must include detailed pricing templates, disruption assessments, and compliance documentation (HIPAA, FERPA, accessibility, etc.). The contract will likely be a multi‑year agreement with an estimated award date of early 2027. • Administer and process claims for four benefit programs (pre‑65 medical, pre‑65 Rx, MA, Part D). • Provide enrollment, eligibility verification, member service, network management, and regulatory reporting. • Deliver required templates (pricing, disruption, VPAT) and meet strict data‑security and insurance obligations. • Must demonstrate experience with ≥1,000‑member group health plans and be operational by the implementation‑readiness date.
