2022 AARP Medicare Advantage Walgreens (PPO)


AARP Medicare Advantage Walgreens (PPO) H2228-079 is a 2022 Medicare Advantage Plan or Part-C by UnitedHealthcare available to residents in Idaho. This plan includes additional prescription drug (Part-D) coverage. The AARP Medicare Advantage Walgreens (PPO) has a monthly premium of $0 and has an in-network maximum out-of-pocket limit of $6,700 (MOOP). This means that if you get sick or need a high cost procedure the co-pays are capped once you pay $6,700 out-of-pocket. This can be a extremely nice safety net.

AARP Medicare Advantage Walgreens (PPO) is a Local PPO. A preferred provider organization (PPO) is a Medicare plan that has created contracts with a network of "preferred" providers for you to choose from at reduced rates. You do not need to select a primary care physician and you do not need referrals to see other providers in the network. Offering you a little more flexibility overall. You can get medical attention from a provider outside of the network but you will have to pay the difference between the out-of-network bill and the PPOs discounted rate.

UnitedHealthcare works with Medicare to provide significant coverage beyond Part A and Part B benefits. If you decide to sign up for AARP Medicare Advantage Walgreens (PPO) you still retain Original Medicare. But you will get additional Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Part B (Medical Insurance) coverage from UnitedHealthcare and not Original Medicare. With Medicare Advantage you are always covered for urgently needed and emergency care. Plus you receive all the benefits of Original Medicare from UnitedHealthcare except hospice care. Original Medicare still provides you with hospice care even if you sign up for Medicare Advantage.
