Understanding Your Medicare Advantage Options

Medicare Advantage Plans, or Part C, are health plans provided by private insurers that offer all-in-one coverage, combining Medicare Part A (hospital coverage) and Part B (medical coverage). Many of the 25 plans available to you in Wabasha County also include additional benefits like prescription drug coverage, as well as dental, vision, and wellness services, offering a more comprehensive package than Original Medicare.

🏥 Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) Plans

HMO plan members must use the plan's network of doctors and hospitals in Wabasha County, and typically need a referral to see a specialist. Some Medicare Advantage HMO Plans may have lower costs but offer less flexibility in choosing healthcare providers. There are 77 residents enrolled in HMO plans in this county. The most popular plan is Gundersen MN Quartz Med Advantage Value D (w/Rx) .

🔓 Preferred Provider Organization (PPO)

A PPO allows more flexibility in choosing healthcare providers, with the option to see specialists without referrals, though often at a higher cost. Medicare Advantage PPOs usually have higher premiums and out-of-pocket expenses. There are 2,384 Wabasha County residents enrolled in PPO plans. The most popular of these plans by enrollments is Blue Cross Medicare Advantage Choice .

🔀 Health Maintenance Organization Point of Sale (HMO-POS)

Medicare HMO-POS plans are a type of HMO that offers a little more flexibility. Like a regular HMO, you typically use the plan's network of doctors and hospitals for care, usually requiring a referral to see specialists. However, an HMO-POS plan lets you receive certain healthcare services outside of the network at a higher cost. There are 337 residents enrolled in HMO-POS plans in this Wabasha County. The most popular plan by enrollments is UCare Standard .

Advantages of Enrolling in Medicare Advantage

Medicare Advantage Plans, also known as Part C, provide several key advantages over Original Medicare.

Medicare Advantage can be a smart choice if you want to maximize your healthcare dollars and enjoy extras like additional services and lower out-of-pocket costs.

Tips for Selecting a Medicare Advantage Plan

Selecting the ideal Medicare Advantage Plan from the 25 plans available in Wabasha County involves evaluating several crucial aspects:

🏥1. Provider Network

Ensure your healthcare providers are within the plan's network to maintain continuity of care.

💊 2. Prescription Drug Coverage

Confirm that your current medications are included in the plan's formulary to avoid higher out-of-pocket costs.

💰 3. Costs

Assess the plan’s premium, deductible, and out-of-pocket expenses. The ideal plan aligns with both your financial situation and your healthcare needs.

🎁 4. Additional Benefits

Identify any additional benefits that are important to you, such as fitness programs, routine dental, or over-the-counter medication benefits, and ensure the plan includes them.

⭐ 5. Plan Ratings

If a plan offers the benefits you need at a price you can afford, be sure to check its CMS star ratings. This will help you avoid plans with known problems, like poor customer service.
