Care Launching New Dual-Eligible Medicare Plus Plan"},"content":{"rendered":"\n
L.A. Care, a publicly operated health plan in Los Angeles County, will offer a new Medicare Plus plan for dual-eligible beneficiaries, the insurer said Oct. 4. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The plan will have no monthly premiums and $0 copays on certain prescription drugs, according to a news release. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dual-eligible members are Medicare beneficiaries who also qualify for Medicaid on the basis of income. The Medicare Plus plan will replace L.A. Care’s previous dual-eligible plan, Cal MediConnect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n “We are excited about this transition from our Cal MediConnect plan, which demonstrated the value of coordinated care for our dual-eligible members,” L.A. Care CEO John Baackes said in the release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The plan includes other supplemental benefits like allowances for over-the-counter medications and fitness benefits<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n “L.A. Care Medicare Plus will build upon the lessons learned in CMC and will help our members gain access to resources like housing and food,” Mr. Baackes said.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSource: Beckers Payer<\/a><\/span>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
