Hearing Benefit
This benefit provides members with a valuable comprehensive hearing care solution. Hearing aids can be expensive, but your hearing aid benefit minimizes out-of-pocket cost by offering several technology and copay options.
Dental Coverage
Our reimbursement dental plans cover preventive and comprehensive services not typically covered under Original Medicare. Coverage includes reimbursement from the dentist of your choice for the following services:
- Two oral exams
- One set of dental X-rays
- Two cleanings
- One fluoride treatment
- Restorative services, endodontics, periodontics, prosthodontics, implant services and oral and maxillofacial surgery
Vision Coverage
Original Medicare doesn’t cover routine eye exams (eye refractions) for eyeglasses or contact lenses. Our additional vision benefits through EyeMed complement Original Medicare coverage by adding routine eye exams and an eyewear allowance every 12 months.
Over-the-counter (OTC) allowance
All of our Medicare Advantage plans give you a quarterly dollar amount to spend in our OTC Benefit Catalog. Spend it on items like toothpaste, vitamins, denture cleaner and more. Shop in-store, online, by telephone or via mail-order.
Nurse Line
Nurse-first triage solutions help members make informed health care decisions and get the right care at the right place and time at no additional cost. Triage services are available by phone for all the hours you need support, any time of day or night.
Virta Type 2 Reversal Program
Virta is a provider-led, research backed treatment program that can help reverse type 2 diabetes. Patients can lower their blood sugar and A1C, all while reducing the need for diabetes medications and losing weight. To be eligible for this program, you must have a type 2 diabetes diagnosis from your doctor.
