Total combines Medicare Advantage and Medicaid Managed Long Term Care benefits into one easy-to-use health plan. Plus, the plan includes extra benefits that aren’t covered by regular Medicare.

A Reputation for Quality

Every year Medicare rates plans based on a 5-star rating system. More stars mean a better plan. VNS Health Medicare is proud to be rated 4.5 out of 5 stars — the highest rating for any Medicare Advantage plan in New York City and Long Island for 2023.
