Medicare Plans For Kupuna
By Nicholas Peterson
Humana Hawaii Sales Director
There are lots of options out there when you’re looking for the right coverage and quality care you need. With the Medicare Annual Election Period (AEP) here, Medicare beneficiaries, or those who care for them, should start looking for plans that meet their health care needs.
During this important time of the year, Humana is available to provide guidance and support. A leading health and well-being company, Humana is offering two Medicare Advantage plans for the kupuna of Hawaii this AEP.
Our $0 monthly premium HMO plan offers extra benefits, such as $0 doctor’s office visit copays, rides to your doctor’s office, a gym membership at no additional cost, convenient mail-order and local retail prescription coverage, and dental, vision and hearing coverage. Our $34 monthly premium PPO plan offers benefits similar to our HMO plan along with the security of Humana’s national Choice Care Network and the ease of self-referral to specialists.
Speaking of network, we recently announced a new accountable care relationship with MDX Hawaii, which will provide members with a choice of more than 3,700 qualified providers. In addition, the relationship will provide members with high-quality care that can lead to improved medical outcomes, a better customer experience and lower costs.
Remember, you have until Dec. 7 to pick the right plan for you.
