HUNTINGTON â Some Cabell Huntington Hospital retirees and their families are speaking out after receiving a letter stating their supplemental Medicare insurance benefit will be terminated at the end of March.
âMom got her letter saying effective March 31, 2021, her coverage is terminated,â said Tom Hardiman, whose mother is a retired nurse in Wayne County. âNice deal when an 82-year-old retired nurse with a lot of medical conditions gets tossed aside.â
The letter, dated Jan. 28, 2021, states, âCabell Huntington Hospital will no longer offer a Medicare supplement plan to non-bargaining retirees.â
Supplemental coverage is used to help cover unpaid Medicare expenses. Hardiman says he has been trying to help his mother navigate insurance options after she received what he called âthe hospitalâs surprise letter.â
