In February 2018, Humana announced it had enhanced its agreement
with the VFW as the national Medicare Advantage, Prescription Drug
and Medicare Supplement plans carrier for the organization.
“CarePlus has always made supporting our nation’s veterans a top
priority,” said Bruno Piquin, Regional President of CarePlus Health
Plans. “We’re thrilled to expand our commitment, with a special
focus on helping the 120,000 VFW members and their spouses in
Florida achieve their best health.”
CarePlus has served the Medicare population in Florida for more
than 17 years. Headquartered in Miami, the company serves about
115,000 Medicare Advantage members across the state.
“For nearly 119 years, the VFW has made veterans’ care one of
its top priorities,” said VFW National Commander Keith Harman.
“We’re happy to expand our current relationship with Humana to
ensure even more of America’s veterans receive the care and
services they need.”
CarePlus will offer numerous services to VFW members to provide
education and access to healthcare coverage information.
These will include:
- Hosting Medicare seminars annually
during Medicare’s Fall Annual Election Period (Oct. 15 through Dec.
7).
- Conducting educational seminars
throughout the year to inform VFW members of their Medicare
options.
- Providing VFW members with access to
CarePlus Medicare Advantage information and enrollment capabilities
