Choosing the Right Medicare Advantage Plan
We understand how complex and confusing Medicare can be. Medicare Advantage plans have many benefits, including:
- Full Coverage: Includes both Medicare Part A and Part B, and may also include extended benefits such as vision, dental, and hearing care.
- Pharmacy Benefits: Includes coverage for prescriptions, which traditional Medicare does not.
- Low Cost: Some plans are available with $0 monthly premiums, and low co-payments required for services.
For 2021 Overlake accepts the following Medicare Advantage Plans:
- Aetna.
- Humana.
- Kaiser Permanente of WA*.
- Premera Blue Cross.
- UnitedHealthcare/AARP.
*Participation with Kaiser Permanente of WA includes Overlake Medical Center and limited Overlake Clinics locations and physicians.
