2022 HumanaChoice H7617-001 (PPO)

HumanaChoice H7617-001 (PPO) H7617-001 is a 2022 Medicare Advantage Plan or Part-C by Humana available to residents in South Carolina. This plan includes additional prescription drug (Part-D) coverage. The HumanaChoice H7617-001 (PPO) has a monthly premium of $111.00 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.

HumanaChoice H7617-001 (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.

Humana works with Medicare to provide significant coverage beyond Part A and Part B benefits. If you decide to sign up for HumanaChoice H7617-001 (PPO) you still retain Original Medicare. But you will get additional Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Part B (Medical Insurance) coverage from Humana 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 Humana except hospice care. Original Medicare still provides you with hospice care even if you sign up for Medicare Advantage.
