Medicare Supplement Plans …

You are not going to find a plan which provides better access to care or more comprehensive coverage. With an Anthem Medicare Supplement plan you can see any doctor or hospital in any state who accepts Medicare. For example if you live in California and you want to see a specialist in Texas or Indiana and they accept Medicare. Make the appointment and go, it’s that simple. No networks of physicians or territories to deal with. As far as coverage, the Anthem Medicare Supplement plan F provides 100% coverage. If you need services from a physician, specialist or hospital, with a plan F you don’t pay a thing! You can compare rates here.

Medicare Advantage Plans …

Medicare Advantage plans are typically HMO’s and PPO’s, and they look similar to a regular health insurance plan which has deductibles, co-pays and other out of pocked costs. They D Rx plan is usually included. Medicare Advantage plans are also very affordable, sometimes even at $0 premium. They also have an “Open-Enrollment” period at the end of each year which allows you to compare other companies in your area, and switch if you choose to. One of the problems with Medicare Advantage plans is they seem to change their benefits and rates every year. Sometimes the company will cancel the plan all together.
