Washington Medicare Advantage Plans for 2013

Medicare Advantage health plans provide different ways to get your health care coverage in the Medicare program. The Medicare Advantage health plan that you choose affects many things like cost, benefits, doctor choice, convenience, and quality.

To join a Medicare Advantage Plan, you must have Medicare Part A and Part B. You will have to pay the monthly Medicare Part B premium of $104.90 in 2013 to Medicare. In addition, you might have to pay a monthly premium to your Medicare Advantage Plan for the extra benefits that they offer.

Medicare Advantage Plans (PPO & HMO) are available in many parts of the State. These are the Medicare HMO and PPO Plans which have co-payments for Doctors office visits and Hospitals. Unless you are in Final Stage Renal Failure, these plans are "Guaranteed Issue". We like to remind people that these are "managed care plans", and that Medicare is no longer your primary insurance, the HMO is. So if you do not follow the rules of the plan…you do not have coverage.

Plans & Rates are available for January 1, 2013 effective dates...
