Medicare Advantage Plans in Philadelphia, PA
If you live in the Philadelphia Pennsyvania area, there are several great options when searching for an affordable Medicare Plan. Typically, Medicare Advantage Plans offer a very affordable premium, with quality coverage. Depending on the insurance carrier, monthly premiums can range from $0/month to $90/month. Why the difference in premiums? One company might provide a large network of doctors and hospitals, while another carrier might have a much smaller provider list to choose from. There could also be a significant difference in co-pays, from one plan to another. Finally, one plan might offer extras such as eye glasses and dental, while another plan doesn't.
In Philadelphia, the largest health insurance company is Independence Blue Cross. They have revamped their Medicare Advantage Plans and now offers a plan that, in a very short time, has become an extremely popular choice for Medicare beneficiaries. If you live in Philadelphia, Bucks, Chester, Delaware or Montgomery county, and if you are on Medicare Part A and Part B, you are eligible for this Medicare Advantage plan, called Keystone 65 Select HMO.
Why is this important for residents of Philadelphia and its immediate suburbs? Keystone 65 Select HMO offers exceptional coverage with premiums starting as low as $15/month! This is a Medical Only Plan. If you're looking for a plan with prescriptions, Keystone 65 Select HMO has that covered as well. The Keystone 65 Select HMO including prescriptions is only $42.10/month! First and foremost, this is comprehensive coverage, with a company that you can trust. This new Keystone 65 Select HMO plan covers many preventive services with no copay at all. Primary care physician visits are covered with a $20 copay, specialist visits have a $45 copay, inpatient hospitalization has a $215 per day copay for days 1-8 with no copays thereafter.
