United Healthcare Medicare Advantage

Medicare Advantage plans, also known as Medicare Part C, are issued by insurance companies, such as United Healthcare. Some insurance policies do not cover all medical expenses and Advantage plans from United Healthcare can help with these expenses, which can be a big help for many seniors. Those who chose United Healthcare Advantage will be covered for all the medical expenses included in Medicare Part A and Part B and will also have many added benefits as well. These added benefits will not cost a senior more and will take care of other medical issues.

A great deal of Medicare expenses are in these Advantage plans. They are stronger and include additional medical expenses that other insurance plans, as well as, Medicare does not have. A Medicare Advantage plan will cover Medicare Part A (but not hospice care), Medicare Part B, urgent medical care and emergency room expenses. These are separate bundles of expenses such as the emergency room visits, ambulance transportation and care and other treatments. All these features are notable and they all are included in the basic Advantage plan.

United Healthcare Advantage will have a tremendous amount of coverage for various medical needs. Many visits throughout the year to your physician will be taken care of and also seeing your dentist, audiologist and optometrist will be covered. Your dental cleanings, new prescription glasses and hearing aids are also included, depending on what plan you choose.

If you seek medical treatment outside of the designated network of your Advantage plan, your expenses will not be covered. This will include any doctor visits or hospital stays by those not associated with your insurance company’s network. You will have to pay for these services on your own and this will be contingent on the Advantage plan you have subscribed to. There are some plans that can help with out of network medical expenses, if you need them.

Most insurance companies selling Advantage plans will sell the basic plan called an HMO. It is wise to know about these Advantage plans and what they cover, so you can make an informed decision in acquiring one. A HMO plan will include what Medicare Part A and Medicare Part B covers, except hospice care. You can only be covered if you use the physicians, hospitals, pharmacies and medical clinics that have a contract with United Healthcare and accept their plans. The HMO is not expensive and it may pay a portion for some emergency situations that may occur. You will need to look carefully at this plan to see exactly where you get coverage and for what.

A PPO Advantage plan will also cover you completely as long as you stay within the network. It also has the option to include a portion of a medical expense, if you need to seek medical care from those not associated with the plans network. This kind of plan can be more costly, because of this extra coverage. You may find this more to your liking, because you do not live close to any of the participating doctors or hospitals or live in a rural area, where treatment would be difficult to obtain for your needs.

We also have an Advantage plan that is not common, but is more effective for some people. It is called a PFFS Advantage plan offered by United Healthcare and is obtainable in many parts of the country. It is more costly than an HMO, but less expensive than a PPO. It will completely cover you within the network, but if you needed medical services from a non participating doctor or hospital, it will pay a set price for the service. Some people like the idea of going to doctors they want to and don’t mind having to pay a portion of the medical bill.

Some seniors may have special needs and have Medicare and Medicaid and might be qualified to obtain a Special Needs Advantage plan. It can save a great deal of money for the person with special needs and will cover you satisfactorily.
