2022 UnitedHealthcare MedicareDirect Patriot (PFFS)

UnitedHealthcare MedicareDirect Patriot (PFFS) H5435-001 is a 2022 Medicare Advantage Plan or Part-C by UnitedHealthcare available to residents in Wyoming and Nebraska. This plan does not provide additional prescription drug (Part-D) coverage. The UnitedHealthcare MedicareDirect Patriot (PFFS) has a monthly premium of $40.00 and has an in-network maximum out-of-pocket limit of $- (MOOP). This means that if you get sick or need a high cost procedure the co-pays are capped once you pay $- out-of-pocket. This can be a extremely nice safety net.

UnitedHealthcare MedicareDirect Patriot (PFFS) is a PFFS *. A Private Fee-For-Service (PFFS) plan is a Medicare Advantage (MA) health plan offered by a contract with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to provide you with benefits. UnitedHealthcare (instead of Medicare) will decide on how much it will cover and how much you will pay for the services you get. You may go to any Medicare approved doctor or hospital or any other health care provider that accepts both Medicare and your plans payment. A PFFS plan has no provider network, and you dont need a referral or a primary care physician for any health care or services. PFFS plans are the most flexible but a doctor will make a visit-by-visit decisions on whether to accept your provider.

UnitedHealthcare works with Medicare to provide significant coverage beyond Part A and Part B benefits. If you decide to sign up for UnitedHealthcare MedicareDirect Patriot (PFFS) 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.
