I worked at the World Bank from 1982 to 1992. I now get a pension from the Bank since I turned 62 in October 2010.
After leaving the Bank in 1992, I worked at the European Union in Brussels until 1998 and had medical coverage from that institution.
Since September 1992, I have worked as a consultant and have had my medical insurance by being a dependent of my spouse who is covered by Fairfax County Public Schools as a teacher.
Is there any possibility for my spouse and I to now be covered by the World Bank’s AETNA insurance. (I will turn 65 in October 2013.)
I retired from the World Bank and have our medical insurance through RMIP medical insurance plan because my husband, who is still working has no insurance coverage. Therefore, he is covered under my medical coverage. I am now qualified for Medicare and start paying medicare premiums. Because of this, our combined medical insurance premium (Aetna and Medicare) has increased. I thought our payment to Aetna will decrease considerably since it is the secondary insurance for me. Does the World Bank refund at least a portion of what I am paying to Medicare? I understand that the IMF pays for a certain percentage of the Medicare premium.

I will be applying for Medicare Part B in 3 months. Once I join Medicare, can I cancel out when I decide to reside permanently in the Philippines?
