Health plans created to help you live well in the comfort of your home and community.
Get Ready! Medicare Open Enrollment Starts October 15
Our advisors can help you find the best plan for your needs. We offer Medicare plans with monthly premiums and copays as low as $0 (depending on your level of Medicaid eligibility) and the valuable extra benefits you deserve.
Which Medicare Plan is Right for You?
Your health is important. Your health plan should make it easy for you to get the care you need at a cost you can afford. Open enrollment is a time where you can learn about and compare Medicare plans to find the best plan for you.
With VNS Health Medicare plans, you’ll receive extra benefits not covered by regular Medicare. For those with Medicaid, your premiums and copays could be as low as $0!
We have three terrific plans that can cover your needs:
- EasyCare (HMO) – a Medicare Advantage plan. Extra Help lowers prescription drug costs for people who qualify.
- EasyCare Plus (HMO D-SNP) – a Medicare Advantage plan for people with Medicaid.
- Total (HMO D-SNP) – brings together Medicare Advantage and Medicaid Managed Long Term Care (MLTC) into one easy-to-use plan. This plan helps you live safely in the comfort of your home.
Contact us to find out which plan is right for you and how to join. Or visit a Medicare advisor at one of our community locations.
