Who says retirement is quiet? You’re busy and it can be hard to find the time to research the IBM retiree benefit options available to you.
Aetna recognizes how busy you are. To help you learn about the Aetna plan options available through Retiree Health Access (RHA), Aetna has posted a recorded presentation on their IBM RHA dedicated website. You can view this presentation at your convenience. You can stop the presentation, repeat sections or skip to the sections of interest – it’s available 24 x 7.
Remember, IBM annual enrollment period ends on November 16, 2012.
If you have questions or want to learn more, call Aetna at 1-866-795-2091 (TDD: 711).
8 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday.
When you’re ready make a plan selection, call the IBM Employee Services Center at 1-800-796-9876, 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. ET*.
TTY: 1-800-426-6537, 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. ET*
* On business days (excluding holidays recognized by the New York Stock Exchange)
October’s Hurricane Sandy was a devastating superstorm, battering countless communities and affecting millions throughout the Eastern United States. We sincerely hope that you and your loved ones all are safe.
In the hurricane’s aftermath, Aetna decided to cancel three RHA meetings for safety reasons. Aetna’s top priority is to ensure that individuals are not put at risk, and the extreme conditions produced by this giant storm dictated that the meetings could not be conducted safely.

Although Aetna made every attempt to contact the retirees scheduled to attend these meetings, the region’s communications infrastructure was severely damaged by Hurricane Sandy and its aftermath. In addition, Aetna’s IBM RHA website, maintained in New York City, was knocked out for most of the week after the storm. Aetna therefore was unable to contact everyone affected.
For those who could not be reached, we understand your disappointment in the meetings’ cancellation. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused.
As an alternative, you can either attend one of our conference calls or webinars or (in some areas) attend a meeting. In addition, our website has been restored. You can see a list of the remaining meetings, conference calls, and webinars at:

Access code: IBM65
If you would prefer to speak with a representative, trained in the IBM plan offerings, who can assist you with registering for one of our presentations or any other questions, please call:
1-866-795-2091 (TDD: 711) from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday
Again, we apologize for the inconvenience and we hope that you and your loved ones are safe.
IBM retiree annual enrollment season is upon us. IBM retirees have from October 25, 2012 through November 16, 1012 to change their plan selection for 2013. This is a great time to take a benefit check-up and review your health benefit needs. For IBM retirees, IBM offers an array of high value health plan options.
Review your personalized fact sheet and ask yourself:
Take a moment to review the Aetna plan options available through IBM’s partnership with Retiree Health Access. These plan options offer comprehensive medical and pharmacy benefits. For some IBM retirees, you may pay $0 monthly contributions for medical and pharmacy benefits.
