Retiree Benefits and Services

Do you have questions about your Columbia University retiree medical coverage plan or other retiree benefits and administrative services?

EPIC wants to help:

• If you have specific questions relating to your personal circumstances we will put you in touch with the appropriate officer/office to resolve your questions.

• If your questions are of a more general interest we will endeavor to arrange for an appropriate officer/office to draw up a reply for publication on the Web site for the entire membership.

Please email your questions to EPIC at epic@columbia.edu.
