The Ohio Police & Fire Pension Fund (OP&F) continues to sponsor health care benefits to eligible benefit recipients and their dependents according to the plan design and enrollment guidelines as summarized in the Member’s Guide to Health Care Coverage. Adoption of this plan came as a result of a vote by the Board of Trustees and reaffirms their commitment to providing current and future retirees with quality health care and to develop a plan that would ensure the availability of some form of health care subsidy.
Currently, OP&F makes available medical, prescription drug, dental, vision, and long term care coverage in accordance with the Benefit Funding Policy and the OP&F Health Care Plan (only medical and Rx plans are subsidized).
The OP&F plan is being administered by United Healthcare (UHC) and all questions should be directed to UHC at 1-888-832-0964.
1. Prescription Drug Plan (subsidized if eligible)
OP&F provides one prescription drug plan for all eligible retirees, both non-Medicare and Medicare eligible members, unless you enroll in Medicare Part D. The Plan is managed by UnitedHealthcare and administered by Medco. The OP&F-sponsored prescription drug coverage allows participants to purchase medications through the mail or at retail locations.
2. Medical Plans (subsidized if eligible)
OP&F offers different medical plans depending on your eligibility:
a) If over 65 and eligible, you will be in the AARP ® Medicare Supplement Insurance Plans insured by UnitedHealthcare Insurance Company.

You may choose a doctor or hospital from UnitedHealthcare’s provider listing at the time services are needed.
3. Voluntary Dental and Vision Plans (non-subsidized)
Voluntary dental and vision coverage are separate non-subsidized plans offered as a supplement to healthcare coverage. Enrollment in these plans is offered annually or at a qualifying event to all eligible benefit recipients. These plans are offered by UnitedHealthcare as a separate plan, with a separate non-subsidized contribution amount. Routine vision and dental services are not covered under the OP&F-sponsored healthcare coverage.
4. Long Term Care (non-subsidized)
Pursuant to the requirements of Ohio Revised Code section 742.53, Long Term Care insurance is offered to OP&F members through Prudential Insurance Company of America.
OP&F has entered into an agreement with Prudential Insurance Group to offer Long Term Care coverage to OP&F members effective July 1, 2009. Members wishing to purchase Long Term Care are referred to Prudential for information and enrollment. Prudential Insurance Group will direct bill the member for their premium.
Prior to July 1, 2009 long term care coverage was offered through Aetna, which some participants may still be on. The Prudential plan offered to the current enrollees is similar to the insurance previously offered by Aetna.
