DETROIT, Sept. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Health Alliance Plan’s subsidiary, Alliance Health and Life Insurance Company, will offer a Local Medicare Advantage PPO for seniors and Medicare-eligible enrollees. The Alliance Medicare PPO offers three PPO plans with a choice of flexible benefits and premiums -- with or without Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage.
Seniors and Medicare-eligible enrollees can choose the flexible PPO plan that’s best for them. The PPO plans offer a choice of in- and out-of-network coverage and an expanded nine-county network of doctors and hospitals at an affordable premium cost. Enrollees can choose the physicians they want to see with no referrals.
The PPO plans will be available to seniors and Medicare-eligible individuals residing in Genesee, Lapeer, Livingston, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, St. Clair, Washtenaw and Wayne counties.
Marketing activities will begin in October 2005. Enrollment for the new Alliance Medicare PPO will start on November 15, 2005. Coverage becomes effective January 1, 2006.
“In addition to providing affordable coverage and coordinated medical care for enrollees, HAP’s Medicare Advantage plans can help employers combat the rising cost of retiree health care coverage,” said Francine Parker, HAP president and CEO. “Their retirees will receive comprehensive, affordable coverage beyond their valued standard Medicare benefits. Additional benefits include preventive services, health and wellness programs, eye exams, prescription drugs benefits, and emergency and urgent care coverage worldwide.
“Thanks to the range of options now available through HAP and Alliance Health and Life, employers and seniors can choose a plan that addresses their individual concerns about cost, coverage and convenience,” said Parker. “Retirees with health benefits should ask their former employer for advice. Experienced HAP Medicare representatives also are available to assist them.”
