This document is a request for proposal for an Employee Group Waiver Plan. It begins with 5 pre-qualifying questions for target entities to determine if they provide post-retiree medical and prescription drug benefits to more than 500 retirees. The most important questions are whether post-retiree benefits are provided, if they include prescription drug coverage, and if more than 500 retirees receive benefits. For entities that meet these criteria, the document requests additional information including organization details, plan documents, historical claims data, and parameters for an effective proposal.
