Redding Medicare Supplement plans in Shasta County include companies like; Blue Shield, Anthem, Aetna, Health Net and Mutual of Omaha. These Medigap companies typically provide some of the lowest premiums in all of California for Shasta County.
It’s good that Redding residents can enjoy the advantages of competitive premiums, because Redding and all of Shasta County only offers 3 Medicare Advantage plans, a PPO plan from Anthem and two HMO’s from UnitedHealthcare.
With this being the case, a Medicare member has two choices; 1, they can stay on original medicare and enroll in a Part D Rx plan, and pay the deductibles, percentages and other out of pocket costs which Medicare does not cover. Or, 2, you can enroll in a Medicare Supplement plan of your choice and feel very good that your out of pocket costs will be covered. And don’t forget about the Part D Rx plan.
See any doctor or hospital …
One of the greatest aspects of a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) policy is, there are no doctor/hospital networks. You can see any doctor, hospital, specialist or medical facility in the U.S. who accepts Medicare. That’s over 95% of all providers.
Call the doctors office … if they accept Medicare, you can see them.
Open-Enrollment …
Open Enrollment means you can enroll in a plan (guaranteed, regardless of your health status).
There are two ways to enroll in a Medicare Supplement. The easiest way is during your initial open enrollment period. This is when you first become eligible for Medicare. This is a 6 month open enrollment. Regardless of you health status you are eligible for any medicare supplement policy available in your state. During the open enrollment you do not need to answer any health, doctor or prescription questions on the enrollment form. Here are different open enrollment options.
The other way is to simply apply anytime of the year. You can change companies or enroll in a new medicare supplement at anytime, although you must answer the health history questions on he application. The company will review your current health status and past health history and either accept you as a new member, or decline the application. Call me anytime with questions regarding this process.
