Once you reach this amount of spending on your co-payments, all of your Medicare Part A and Part B services will be covered at no additional charge.

NOTE: MOOP does not include what you spend on monthly premiums. It also does not apply to your prescription drugs or Part D deductible.
CRITICAL: It is important to evaluate the combined annual MA/MAPD premiums and MOOP versus what you might expect to pay for a Medicare Supplement in Saint Martin Parish. Some Medicare Supplements offer less overall financial risk than Medicare Advantage.
