Understanding Your Medicare Advantage Options

Medicare Advantage Plans, also known as Part C, are offered by private insurance companies and provide comprehensive coverage that includes both Medicare Part A (hospital insurance) and Part B (medical insurance). Many of the 24 plans available in Lafayette County also include additional benefits such as prescription drug coverage, dental, vision, and wellness programs, making them an all-in-one alternative to Original Medicare.

🔓 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 302 Lafayette County residents enrolled in PPO plans. The most popular of these plans by enrollments is AARP Medicare Advantage from UHC WI-0007 .

🪟 Private Fee-for-Service (PFFS)

Allows members to visit any Medicare-approved doctor or hospital in their area that accepts the plan's payment terms. Medicare PFFS plans offer more flexibility but may result in higher costs. There are 54 Lafayette County residents enrolled in PFFS plans. The most popular of these plans by enrollments is Humana Gold Choice H8145-006 .

🔀 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 167 residents enrolled in HMO-POS plans in this Lafayette County. The most popular plan by enrollments is Anthem Medicare Advantage .

🧾 Medicare Cost Plan (Cost)

Medicare Cost plans are similar to other Medicare Advantage plans in that they offer access to a healthcare network. They may also have additional benefits beyond those provided by Original Medicare. However, unlike other Medicare Advantage plans, Cost plans offer their members the option to go outside the network for Medicare-approved services. In this case, Original Medicare pays all Medicare-approved services under Medicare Part A and Part B rules.

  • Medicare Savings Account (MSA): This plan pairs a high-deductible Medicare Advantage plan with a savings account that the plan funds. You can use the money in the savings account to pay for healthcare expenses before meeting your deductible. Any unused funds roll over year to year, offering a way to manage healthcare costs with greater flexibility.
  • Advantages of Enrolling in Medicare Advantage

    Medicare Advantage Plans, also known as Part C, provide several key advantages over Original Medicare. Bundle up your healthcare with plans that cover Medicare Parts A and B, plus some extras like prescription meds, dental care, and vision services - it's a package deal! 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.

    Here are some of the top advantages these plans offer Lafayette County residents:

    🧑‍⚕️Coordinated Care

    Plans often include care coordination services, which help you manage your healthcare across different providers and services.

    💸

    Cost Savings

    Many plans have low or $0 premiums and offer capped out-of-pocket costs, providing financial protection against high medical expenses.

    🧾

    Comprehensive Coverage

    Includes Medicare Part A, Part B, and often Part D (prescription drug coverage), along with additional benefits like dental, vision, and hearing.

    🧘

    Wellness Programs

    Many Lafayette County plans offer free gym memberships, wellness programs, and preventive care services. You need to stay healthy, right?

    Tips for Selecting a Medicare Advantage Plan

    Selecting the ideal Medicare Advantage Plan from the 24 plans available in Lafayette 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.

    Discover the key factors to consider when comparing Medicare Advantage Plans.

    Medicare Advantage Enrollment Periods

    Enrolling in a Medicare Advantage Plan is a straightforward process, but timing is crucial to ensure you don't miss out on the benefits. Understanding when you can enroll will help you take full advantage of the options available in Lafayette County.

    📅 Initial Enrollment Period (IEP)

    The IEP is a seven-month window surrounding your 65th birthday, allowing you to sign up for a Medicare Advantage Plan as soon as you become eligible for Medicare.

    🗓️ Annual Enrollment Period (AEP)

    The AEP runs from October 15 to December 7 each year, giving you the opportunity to change, drop, or enroll in a Medicare Advantage Plan.

    🔁 Open Enrollment Period (OEP)

    Between January 1 and March 31, if you’re already enrolled in a Medicare Advantage Plan, you can switch plans or revert to Original Medicare.
