MISSOURI, USA — Medicare open enrollment has started, and for a lot of people it can be a confusing time. Vice President of Product Management for Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Martin Esquivel is here to tell us more.
Martin explains that original Medicare, or Medicare Part A and Part B, is Medicare Health Insurance available through the Federal government. Part A helps with items such as hospital costs and Part B helps with items such as Doctor’s office visits and outpatient care.
The Medicare Advantage plan is known as Part C. These are Medicare Health Plans offered by private health companies, such as Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield. They also might offer additional benefits such as dental, vision, hearing, and preventative services.
Martin says that Anthem is proud to be able to offer a package of health and wellness benefits that include items like support for healthy food deliveries and service dog support. This package of benefits is called Essential Extras and is available in many of Anthem’s Medicare Advantage Plans.
Consumers enrolled in Anthem’s Medicare Advantage Health Plans have access to Life Health Online at no additional cost. This is a telehealth service that you can access on any device.
