2022 Platinum Blue Complete Plan (Cost)


Platinum Blue Complete Plan (Cost) H2461-007 is a 2022 Medicare Advantage Plan or Part-C by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota available to residents in Minnesota. This plan does not provide additional prescription drug (Part-D) coverage. The Platinum Blue Complete Plan (Cost) has a monthly premium of $169.00 and has an in-network maximum out-of-pocket limit of $2,700 (MOOP). This means that if you get sick or need a high cost procedure the co-pays are capped once you pay $2,700 out-of-pocket. This can be a extremely nice safety net.

Platinum Blue Complete Plan (Cost) is a Cost * plan. A Cost plan is operated by a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) in accordance with a cost reimbursement contract. A Medicare Cost Plan is a type of HMO. These plans may work in much the same way, and have some of the same rules, as Medicare Advantage Plans. You may use the cost plans network of providers or receive their health care services through Original Medicare. With a Cost Plan, if you go to a non-network provider, the services are covered under Original Medicare. You would pay the Medicare Part A and Part B coinsurance and deductibles.

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota works with Medicare to provide significant coverage beyond Part A and Part B benefits. If you decide to sign up for Platinum Blue Complete Plan (Cost) you still retain Original Medicare. But you will get additional Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Part B (Medical Insurance) coverage from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota 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 Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota except hospice care. Original Medicare still provides you with hospice care even if you sign up for Medicare Advantage.
