2023 Elite (PPO)

Elite (PPO) H6874-003 is a 2023 Medicare Advantage Plan or Part-C by Aspirus Health Plan available to residents in Wisconsin. This plan does not provide extra prescription drug (Part-D) coverage. Aspirus Health Plan Elite (PPO) has a monthly premium of $0 and has an in-network maximum out-of-pocket limit of $3,200 (MOOP). This means that if you get sick or need a high-cost procedure the co-pays are capped once you pay $3,200 out-of-pocket. This can be an extremely nice safety net.

Aspirus Health Plan works with Medicare to provide significant coverage beyond Part A and Part B benefits. If you decide to sign up for Elite (PPO) you still retain Original Medicare. But you will get extra Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Part B (Medical Insurance) coverage from Aspirus Health Plan and not Original Medicare. With 2023 Medicare Advantage Plan you are always covered for urgently needed and emergency care. Plus, you receive all the benefits of Original Medicare from Aspirus Health Plan except hospice care. Original Medicare still provides you with hospice care if you sign up for Medicare Advantage in Wisconsin.

What type of plan is Elite (PPO)

Elite (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.
