Humana Inc., leading health, and wellness organization is increasing health plan options for Medicare beneficiaries in New Jersey by adding more counties to its 2022 Humana Medicare Advantage (MA) plans. The company’s footprint will now cover nearly 95% of the state because of this pledge.
- Coverage: During this year’s Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug Plan Annual Election Period, or AEP, residents of three New Jersey counties – Ocean and Passaic counties in Northern New Jersey, and Cape May County in Southern New Jersey – will be able to choose a Humana Medicare Advantage plan for the first time. The AEP runs from October 15 to December 7, 2021, with coverage beginning on January 1, 2022.
- Additional offerings: “Humana is excited to be able to reach additional New Jerseyans by offering Medicare Advantage plans in a total of 20 counties across the state for coverage starting in 2022,” said Rich Vollmer, Humana Senior Vice President, and Medicare North Division Leader. “Over the last three years, we have worked hard to expand both our network of hospitals and physicians and our Medicare plan offerings to meet the health care and budget needs of New Jerseyans across the state.”
- Low-cost options: Humana’s Medicare Advantage plans offer low-cost options to either original Medicare or original Medicare plus a Medicare Supplement plan for those with Medicare in New Jersey. Members can get all of the benefits of original Medicare, plus hearing, dental, vision, and prescription drug coverage on most plans, as well as other benefits and crucial financial protections for their health care costs, with these plans.
- Benefits: Humana’s Medicare Advantage plans in New Jersey will offer a variety of options and benefits, including a range of plan premiums ($0 or low monthly premiums); low co-payments for doctor visits; coverage for most annual screenings at no charge; and emergency coverage anywhere in the world.
- Coordinated care: Medicare Advantage plans are focused on coordinating care for those with multiple chronic conditions, helping lead to cost-effective interventions to address the unique health needs of aging or disabled Americans. These are a few reasons why more than 40 percent of all Medicare beneficiaries choose to be covered by Medicare Advantage plans.
