2010 Health and Group Benefits Changes
Prescription Drug Plan:

As a retiree with access to the Prescription Drug Plan we are sending you information about Tyco’s coverage under this plan. Prescription drug coverage is offered through CVS Caremark. While you’re not required to shop at CVS Caremark participating pharmacies, it pays to do so.

If you don’t use a network pharmacy, you’ll pay a $50 annual deductible for each covered person and the plan pays 50% of the discounted network cost.
Below are the changes that will go into effect January 1, 2010:

Drug Type

You Pay …

Generic Drugs:

Have the same chemical make-up as brand-name drugs, but they’re usually much less expensive. $8 for a 30-day supply of generic drugs at a participating network pharmacy or $16 for up to a 90-day supply through the mail-order program.

Preferred Brand-Name Drugs:

Selected for the preferred brand-name drug list based on effectiveness, limited side effects and price.

$30 for a 30-day supply at participating network pharmacies or $60 for up to a 90-day supply through the mail-order program.

Non-Preferred Brand-Name Drugs:

Not on the preferred brand-name drug list because generally their cost is higher and they are no more effective than available preferred brand-name drugs.

50% coinsurance to you with a maximum out-of-pocket cost of $100 per retail prescription. Your maximum out-of-pocket expense through mail-order is limited to $200 per prescription.

New Monthly Premiums

The new premium based on your coverage level that will go into effect on January 1, 2010:

Coverage Level
January 1, 2010


Retiree Only:
$13.50

Surviving Spouse: $13.50

Spouse/Dependent Only: $207.50


Retiree Plus One: $221.00

If you are paying for your premiums through your pension benefit, these new amounts will be reflected as of January 1, 2010.

ON THE COVER

Ok, does anyone remember these? I found some I had from way back when. This one is 53 years old, can you believe it! I was 12 when it was written.

The photograph is of the Capitol building in Richmond, Va. Patterned after the Maison Caree' at Nimes, France, and designed by Thomas Jefferson.

Construction of the main portion was begun in 1785, and finished in abour 1792. It was here that the Confederate House of Representatives met between 1861 and 1865. Here too, Robert E. Lee on April 23, 1861, accepted command of Virginia's military forces.

A real credit to their Architects are the two wings which flawlessly match the original structure although they were not erected until 1905 to give legislators much needed space.

Modern Protection against fire and other hazards recently was provided throughout by ADT AEROTM Automatic Fire Alarm, Sprinkler Supervisory and Waterflow Alarm and Watchman's Security signaling Services.
