Make sure you’re all set for the year ahead: Check out our 2024 Medicare Advantage plans

Medicare’s annual enrollment period (AEP) is here. Our 2024 Medicare Advantage plans offer head-to-toe coverage with a variety of plan benefits and coverage options for the communities we serve. When you choose a Regence Medicare Advantage plan, you can count on:

• A broad provider network that includes doctors, specialists, medical centers, pharmacies and hospitals that share our commitment to high-quality health care.
• Caring local customer service professionals that offer reliable guidance about your benefits and care options, and provide next level support for exploring treatment options, arranging medical services or finding community resources.
• Coverage for medical emergencies anywhere in the world with no yearly or lifetime coverage limits.

If you’re enrolled in Medicare, you can sign up or switch to a Medicare Advantage plan during AEP, which runs Oct. 15 to Dec. 7. Your 2024 plan would be effective Jan. 1.

Before choosing a plan, it’s important to know the differences between HMO and PPO plans so you can choose the plan that’s right for you.

HMO plans are budget-friendly with predictable out-of-pocket costs. Our HMO plans offer patient-centered care, which allows your primary care provider to coordinate your care within a local provider network. However, some services may require a referral.

PPO plans give you the flexibility to see any doctor or specialist who accepts Medicare, in or out of network, without a referral. You’ll also have access to a nationwide PPO network so you can get in-network coverage when you’re away from home.

Regence Medicare Advantage plans give you more for your money
