If you are a retiree under age 65 or are ineligible for Medicare*, you may enroll in any of the active employee health plans (Blue Cross Blue Shield HMO or Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO). Blue Cross Blue Shield HMO covers retirees living in New England and the Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO covers retirees living outside of New England. Additional information and forms can be found on the Health & Dental Insurance page. You must be retired and receive a pension from either the City of Newton Retirement Board or the Massachusetts Teachers Retirement Board to be eligible to participate in retiree insurance programs.
*Proof of Medicare ineligibility is required.
