Unveiling the Standout Medicare Advantage Plans in Ohio

Each year, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), reviews and rates Ohio's Medicare Advantage plans based on a 5-star scale. The information used to create a plan's star rating comes from member input and data reported by the plan.

Ohio has 5-star Medicare Advantage plans available in 2023. Not all states and locations do. This year, the highest rated Medicare plans available in Ohio come from:

  1. Medical Mutual of Ohio
  2. Devoted Health
  3. SummaCare
  4. UPMC for Life
  5. PrimeTime Health Plan

MedicareWire recommends evaluating plans from these Ohio 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 Ohio, 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.

Complete List of Ohio's Plan Providers

Ohio has 20 providers that offer Medicare Advantage plans. They include:

  • Aetna Medicare
  • Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield
  • Cigna
  • Devoted Health
  • Health Alliance Medicare

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

There are various reasons you might be considering a plan change, such as turning 65 or the Annual Enrollment Period. You might also be navigating a special enrollment event, such as moving into a new region. There are some important details to consider in all these situations.

1. Examine Your Projected Utilization Needs

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. Evaluate Your Prescription Costs

For many seniors, prescription drugs are what drive up their healthcare costs the most. And, because nearly all Ohio Medicare Advantage plans include Part D benefits for your regular prescriptions, you need to make sure the plan you choose covers your drugs at a price you can afford.

3. Assess Your Need for Supplemental Coverage

Original Medicare does not all health care costs. It covers your major medical and some preventive care services, but it does not cover dental, vision, hearing, or prescriptions. A growing number of Medicare Advantage plans cover many of the essential services that your Part A and Part B benefits do not.

4. Consider Your Healthcare Providers

Medicare Advantage plans use healthcare provider networks, and not all primary care doctors and specialists accept all plans. For many Ohio shoppers, finding a plan that their doctors accept is exhausting. We can help!

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What is the biggest disadvantage of Medicare Advantage?

Medicare Advantage plans can have some potential drawbacks. Many plans require members to use their provider network. Costs are also heavily influenced by how you use healthcare services. This makes it difficult to budget for healthcare expenses. Most plans require members to get referrals for specialists or authorization before they can receive healthcare services. Learn more about the pros and cons of Medicare Advantage plans.

How much does Medicare Advantage cost in Ohio?

The average cost of a Medicare Advantage plan in Ohio is $34.36. But that's just the monthly premium. If you have one or more chronic health conditions, a plan's out-of-pocket costs (e.g. deductibles and copays) are also a factor to consider. Plus, most Medicare Advantage plans include prescription drug benefits, which have their own out-of-pocket costs.

What do Medicare Advantage plans include?

All Medicare Advantage plans offered in Ohio 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.
