Retiree Medical Benefit
As an employee who meets the eligibility criteria for retiree benefits (Rule of 75), you can elect to enroll in retiree medical insurance.
Enroll, Waive, Defer
At the time of your retirement, you can choose to enroll, waive or defer your coverage in a GU-sponsored retiree medical.
- Enroll. If you choose to participate in a retiree medical plan, you must actively enroll within 30 days of your retirement date through AleraEdge (Georgetown University’s retiree benefits administrator).
- Waive. You may also choose to waive your coverage under the Georgetown University retiree medial plans. This decision is irrevocable. Once you waive coverage, you are unable to enroll at a later date.
- Defer. You may also choose to defer your coverage and enroll in a medical plan at a later time. If you take no action, you will be automatically placed in a deferred status. You can enroll at a later date by contacting AleraEdge.

Although it has no intention to do so at the present time, Georgetown specifically reserves the right to amend, change, or discontinue retiree medical plans and subsidies at any time, and for any reason.
