Medicare Supplement & Original Medicare Plans
Meet Terry!
When turning 65 and choosing his Medicare coverage, Terry chose a traditional Medicare plan but found that there were still gaps in his coverage. The extra costs added up quickly, leading Terry to invest in a Medicare Supplement plan to cover the additional costs not covered by Original Medicare.
Medicare Supplement plans are an excellent choice for anyone turning 65. Most providers accept Original Medicare and with the addition of Medicare Supplement coverage, you can select whichever standalone dental and vision plan you’d like. If you have a chronic illness or conditions or plan to travel a lot, this plan may also be a great fit, as you can move all around the country and not be limited by a network! Medicare Supplement plans also offer consumers different cost options such as opting out of wellness benefits if they would like to save money on their plan. Planholders do not need referrals to see providers and can enjoy the freedom they want in a healthcare plan.
He chose to pair his Medicare Supplement plan with a standalone Ameritas Primestar dental and vision plans which cover preventative services and offer coverage for basic and major services. Some dental and vision plans from Ameritas also feature orthodontia, LASIK, teeth whitening or hearing care coverage. Additionally, vision plans from Ameritas gave Terry access to the VSP and EyeMed, two of the largest vision networks, and immediate coverage for exams, lenses, frames and contacts!
