Unveiling the Standout Medicare Advantage Plans in Alaska

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Service (CMS) rates and reviews Alaska's Medicare Advantage plans based on a 5-star rating scale. Information from members and data provided by plans is used to determine a plan's star rating.

This year, the highest rated Medicare plans available in Alaska come from:

    MedicareWire recommends evaluating plans from these Alaska health insurance companies first. Why? Because more stars mean a better plan. For instance, members may get better care, customer service, and phone support from a 5-star plan than from a 4-star one.

    IMPORTANT: Depending on where you live in Alaska, Medicare Advantage plans may have many valuable benefits (as compared to Original Medicare). But, before you choose, it's crucial that you understand the potential disadvantage of Medicare Advantage plans. Compare coverage and costs carefully.

    Navigating Your Options: How to Select the Best Medicare Advantage Plan in Alaska

    You may be looking at plans for several different reasons, including turning 65 or the Annual Enrollment Period. Or, perhaps you are navigating a special enrollment event, such as moving to a new area. In all of these cases, there are a few important details you need to consider.

    1. Consider Your Expected Utilization

    Do you believe that you will get the most out of your plan's benefits, including hospital inpatient care? If you do, evaluate plans with higher monthly premiums, low copayments, and low maximum out-of-pocket limits. Conversely, if your health is good and you rarely use services, look for plans with low premiums or a zero-dollar premium. These plans may have high out-of-pocket maximums and high deductibles, so weigh your risk carefully.

    2. Review Your Drug Costs

    Prescription drugs are often the main reason that seniors pay more for healthcare. Because most Alaska Medicare Advantage plans include Part D coverage for prescriptions, it is important to ensure you get the right plan that covers your drugs at a cost you can afford.

    3. Understand Your Additional Coverage Requirements

    Original Medicare only covers your major medical services, leaving you to pay for dental, vision, hearing, and other healthcare services, or get additional coverage. Fortunately, a growing number of Medicare Advantage plans cover many of the essential services not covered by your Part A and Part B benefits.

    4. Review Your Healthcare Network Considerations

    Medicare Advantage plans have healthcare provider networks. Unfortunately, not all specialists and primary care doctors accept all plans. Many people on Medicare in Alaska tell us it's difficult to find a plan their doctors take. We can help!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Still have questions? These common questions and answers might help.

    What are the pros and cons of a Medicare Advantage plan?

    Medicare Advantage plans may have several disadvantages. Most plans require that their members use their network providers. It is also difficult to budget for healthcare costs as costs are largely determined by your use of healthcare services. Many plans require that members obtain referrals to a specialist before they are authorized to receive a service. Discover more disadvantages of Medicare Advantage plans.

    How much does Medicare Advantage cost in Alaska?

    On average, the cost of a Medicare Advantage plan in Alaska is $nan (based on 2023 rates). That's just the cost of the monthly premium to be in the plan. If you have chronic health conditions, the plan's out-of-pocket costs, including copays and deductibles, should also be considered. Additionally, Medicare Advantage plans often include Part D prescription drug benefits that have out-of-pocket costs at the pharmacy.

    What are Medicare Advantage plans required to cover?

    All Medicare Advantage plans offered in Alaska must cover all of the Original Medicare benefits. But, private Medicare plans are not required to provide healthcare services similarly. For instance, Medicare Part A covers 80% of hospital stays, skilled nursing, home care, hospice care, and home health care. And Part B covers 80% of doctor visits, lab tests, and other outpatient services. However, Medicare Advantage plans are allowed to set their own copays and routinely charge more than 20%. That said, they do have an annual limit, whereas Original Medicare doesn't.
