CarePlus Health Plans, Inc., a recognized
leader in healthcare delivery that has been offering Medicare
Advantage health plans in Florida for over 22 years, is expanding
both its footprint in Florida as well as the variety of plan
offerings that will be available to Medicare beneficiaries in the
state enrolling in 2023 plans. For the first time, this year
residents of three Florida counties – Flagler, Hernando and St.
Johns - can select a CarePlus Medicare Advantage plan during
Medicare’s Annual Enrollment Period, or AEP. The AEP runs from Oct.
15 through Dec. 7, 2022, for plan coverage taking effect Jan. 1,
2023. (Photo: Business Wire)
“We are thrilled to be able to reach additional Floridians by
offering our CarePlus Medicare Advantage plans, designed to provide
robust coverage for high quality healthcare, in a total of 21
counties across the state for coverage starting in 2023,” said
Bruno Piquin, CarePlus President. “People with Medicare throughout
Florida have responded overwhelmingly positive to the value and
quality of health care our plans afford our members. We’re also
excited to introduce new plan offerings and features, which we
believe will add value and lower costs for members, many of whom
are being impacted by the challenging economic times.”
Entering Three New Counties
For the first time, this year residents of three Florida
counties – Flagler, Hernando and St. Johns - can select a CarePlus
Medicare Advantage plan during Medicare’s Annual Enrollment Period,
or AEP. The AEP runs from Oct. 15 through Dec. 7, 2022 for plan
coverage taking effect Jan. 1, 2023.
In Flagler, St. Johns, and Hernando counties, CarePlus is
offering up to nine Medicare Advantage plans to help meet different
health and budget needs for area residents. In all the counties
CarePlus will now serve, options include special plans for people
living with certain chronic conditions (Chronic Condition Special
Needs plans) and for people who are eligible for both Medicaid and
Medicare (Dual Special Needs plans), as well as plans broadly
available to all Medicare beneficiaries. In Hernando County,
several of the plans for chronic conditions include out-of-network
coverage to help give members an even broader choice of hospitals
and specialists.
Expanding CareSalute to 17 Florida Counties
Today CarePlus is also announcing a major expansion of its
CareSalute Medicare Advantage HMO plan option in Florida as part of
the company’s ongoing commitment to the health and well-being of
veterans and their families.
CareSalute was created to complement VA health care by covering
services at non-VA (civilian) facilities and includes features such
as dental coverage, transportation, and fitness classes that help
provide a comprehensive approach to health care. Because some
veterans may prefer prescription drug coverage through their VA
benefits, the CareSalute plan does not include prescription drug
coverage. Veterans can select from any Medicare Advantage
plan available in their area, and CareSalute is an option for all
Medicare beneficiaries.
The 17 counties where CarePlus is offering its 2023 CareSalute
Medicare Advantage plan include: Brevard, Broward, Flagler,
Hernando, Hillsborough, Indian River, Lake, Marion, Orange,
Osceola, Palm Beach, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk, Seminole, Sumter and
Volusia.
One of the highlights of the CareSalute plan is that it offers
money back on members’ Medicare Part B premium. Depending on county
of residence, members with this plan can get as much as $1,080 to
$1,978.80 added back to their Social Security checks over the
course of a year ($90 to $164.90 monthly). Dental coverage includes
dentures with unlimited extractions, and members can get an
allowance of up to $4,000 a year for hearing aids ($2,000 per
ear).
Also New for 2023
More Money Back on the New CareBreeze Platinum (HMO C-SNP)
and CareComplete Platinum (HMO C-SNP) plans. These “Platinum”
plans are an addition to CarePlus’ standard CareBreeze (HMO C-SNP)
and CareComplete (HMO C-SNP) plans and offer a higher Medicare Part
B premium giveback. Members on the platinum plans can get as much
as $1,080 to $1,978.80 added back to their Social Security checks
over the course of a year ($90 to $164.90 monthly). Members must
have a qualifying chronic condition to enroll. CareBreeze and
CareBreeze Platinum are designed for lung conditions such as COPD.
CareComplete and CareComplete Platinum are designed for conditions
such as diabetes and heart disease.
CarePlus CareEssentials Card™ for members enrolled in
CareNeeds Plus (HMO D-SNP). CarePlus’ new CareEssentials Card
provides members with a monthly allowance, ranging from $150 -$275,
to spend on select groceries, utilities, rent, personal care, pet
care and more, depending on their greatest needs. Members must have
Medicare and Medicaid to enroll in CareNeeds Plus.
CareContigo Tablet Benefit for members enrolled in
CareBreeze (HMO C-SNP) or CareComplete (HMO C-SNP). This locked
device, loaded with calling, texting and webpage-based apps, is
designed to help members more easily communicate with their loved
ones as well as their health plan and healthcare providers and use
digital plan resources for their health. For example, a member can
use the tablet to attend a telehealth visit, to call a mental
health provider, and to schedule rides to select locations, such as
medical appointments covered by the plan. Members must have a
qualifying chronic condition to enroll in CareBreeze or
CareComplete.
Most CarePlus Medicare Advantage plans also include:
- SilverSneakers®, which provides memberships at participating
fitness centers, and access to classes designed with the Medicare
beneficiary in mind
- Meal delivery program after hospital stays
- Free rides to select locations (unlimited on many plans)
- Allowance to order select over-the-counter products
