Many clients’ Medicare Advantage plans offer comprehensive coverage for their medical needs, medications, nutrition, wellbeing, and overall fitness. Congratulations if you’ve recently joined a Medicare Advantage plan or have one again this year! This guide will walk you through 5 necessary steps to ensure you make the most of your coverage for 2024.
1 – Schedule a Visit with Your Doctor
If you’re not already seeing your doctor regularly, scheduling a comprehensive exam with your doctor early in the year is essential. This visit serves as a baseline for visits for the remainder of the year. During this visit, your doctor can assess your overall health and address any concerns. It is an opportunity to establish a strong foundation for your healthcare journey.
2 – Create a Secure Online Member Account
To access your benefit information, claims data, provider network, and other essential parts of your plan, creating a secure online Member account is crucial. Create an account and enjoy the convenience of managing your healthcare online. With your account, you can easily print your ID card, receive program updates and alerts, and stay informed about your coverage.
3 – Inform Your Pharmacy and Doctors’ Offices
If this is your first time on a Medicare Advantage plan or you recently changed to a new one, you must inform your pharmacy and doctors’ offices about your new coverage. Providing them with your new membership card will ensure that your billing is accurate and that your former insurer is not wrongly billed. Keeping your healthcare providers updated will facilitate a seamless transition and help avoid any potential confusion or complications.
4 – Familiarize Yourself with How Coverage Works
Understanding how your Medicare Advantage plan coverage works is crucial. Some plans may change their benefits yearly, so keeping up with those changes is essential. Many plans offer programs to help you improve your overall wellbeing, so it’s a good idea to know how those programs work. The benefit summary provided to you at the point of enrollment is an excellent place to start. Or we can schedule a time to review your plan benefits together over the phone or in-person to ensure you get the most from your 2024 plan benefits.
