We received the following Labor Notice from AT&T earlier today. Apparently, Hewitt, AT&T's Plan Administrator sent termination of coverage notices to Aetna for 1,400 Legacy T Retirees in error. At this time, the Company has not determined how many of the 1,400 Retirees are represented Retirees vs. non-represented Retirees. Hewitt systems have been corrected and the systems will be updated by today, January 31st. As new Aetna ID cards have already been received, no new cards should be necessary. Earlier this month, confusion was generated with Retirees received similar notices from United Healthcare (UHC). In that case, the letters were sent because the Company changed the Traditional Indemnity Provider from UHC to Aetna. So, while UHC coverage was indeed terminated, no represented Retiree was without healthcare coverage because Aetna took over for UHC. Download PDF file for more information.
