Subscriber

A subscriber is a non-employee who is enrolled in a MIT group health plan.  The majority of these participants are enrolled because of their relationship to a MIT retiree.  Most of the subscribers are spouses of retirees who enroll in a plan because either they or their associated retiree has reached age 65.  When one member of the couple reaches age 65, they are eligible for a Medicare supplement plan.  Medicare supplement enrollment is for individuals and therefore, the eligible spouse becomes a subscriber participant.  Ex-spouses may also be subscribers.
