Medicare Beneficiaries in Benton, Walla Walla
and Franklin Counties Can Choose a Humana Medicare Advantage Plan
for Coverage
Medicare beneficiaries in Benton, Walla Walla, and Franklin
counties will now have more Medicare Advantage health plan coverage
options during the 2021 Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug
Plan Annual Election Period (AEP) thanks to Humana.
During the AEP, which runs from Oct. 15 through Dec. 7, 2020,
Medicare beneficiaries in Benton, Walla Walla and Franklin Counties
can now enroll in a Humana Gold Plus HMO Medicare Advantage plan
with coverage taking effect Jan. 1, 2021, in addition to the Humana
plans previously offered in the area.
Humana’s Medicare Advantage HMO plan members in Benton and
Franklin counties will have access to a variety of health systems
and physician offices including providers at Kadlec Regional
Medical Center, Lourdes Health, Prosser Memorial Health, and Trios
Health. HMO plan members in Walla Walla County will have access to
a number of providers such as those at Providence Health System,
including Providence St. Mary Medical Center and Walla Walla
Clinic.
Humana will offer the following plans in these three counties in
2021: Humana Gold Plus HMO plan, HumanaChoice PPO plan, Humana
Honor PPO MA Only plan, and Humana Value Plus HMO plan.
These Humana plans provide people with Medicare in these
Washington counties with affordable alternatives to Original
Medicare only, or Original Medicare paired with a Medicare
Supplement plan. With these Medicare Advantage plans, members can
enjoy all the benefits of Original Medicare, as well as
prescription drug coverage on most plans along with added benefits
and important financial protections.
Humana Medicare Advantage plans offer many benefits and
services. Some examples include the choice of a primary care
physician in the plan network; $0 or low monthly plan premiums; low
co-payments for doctor visits and annual routine physicals;
coverage for most annual screenings at no charge; a network of
physicians, specialists and hospitals; and emergency coverage
anywhere in the world.
“Humana believes it’s important for people with Medicare to find
the right health care and wellness solutions for them, especially
since their needs might change as they age,” said Jesse Gamez,
Humana’s Intermountain Region Medicare President. “We’ve listened
to what people with Medicare in Washington want, and used our
experience in health benefits to offer more options that fit their
health needs at every stage in their health care journey.”
