Choose Medicare Advantage

Consider an all-in-one Medicare Advantage plan during Medicare’s Annual Election Period (also known as Medicare’s Open Enrollment), October 15 – December 7. This may be the only opportunity you have each year to change your Medicare health or prescription drug coverage, if you decide to.

Medicare Advantage plans help simplify the complexity around Medicare, and may offer more comprehensive and cost-effective benefits–including Part A hospital insurance, Part B medical insurance, and Part D prescription drug benefits. Some also include dental and vision care.

Did You Know?

Did you know that 40 percent of Medicare beneficiaries in Northern California* have enrolled in Medicare Advantage plans to get comprehensive benefits? And people who worked with eHealth found an average of $541 in savings on their prescription drugs.**

Having the right health insurance coverage is important to staying healthy. Medicare Advantage patients:

  • Are twice as likely to receive preventive care
  • Are half as likely to go to the emergency room
  • Go home from the hospital one day earlier
  • Are less likely to be readmitted to hospital after discharge*

*When compared to people on fee-for-service Medicare.

Medicare Advantage plans may offer:

  • Low or no co-pays for office visits
  • Limited annual out-of-pocket costs
  • Prescription drug coverage for most plans
  • Preventive services, including annual physicals
  • Dental and vision care
  • X-ray and lab services
  • Hospitalization coverage
  • Emergency room and urgent care nationwide

This is not a complete description of benefits. Eligibility may be limited to certain times of the year.

It’s Not too Early for a Medicare Plan Checkup

Prior to Medicare’s Annual Election Period is a great time to review your coverage options. Ask yourself these questions:

  1. Does my current coverage still meet my healthcare and prescription drug needs?
  2. Am I paying too much?
  3. Have I compared plans side-by-side to see if I can save on prescription drug and out-of-pocket costs?
  4. Have I reviewed my Medicare Annual Notice of Change?
  5. Will my coverage still include access to my Sutter Health-affiliated doctor?
  6. Will my Medicare plan offer the same coverage at the same cost next year?

Find out if a Medicare Advantage plan with access to the Sutter Health network is right for you, compare plans at eHealth.
