Medicare Advantage Plans In Connecticut With Anthem
Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans can combine Medicare Parts A, B and D and include extra benefits to give you more than just Original Medicare.
Medicare Part C Coverage
Medicare Advantage plans (Medicare Part C) offer broad healthcare coverage in one convenient and low-cost plan. These plans include all the coverage of Original Medicare (Parts A and B) along with extra benefits you won’t get with Medicare alone. Depending on where you live, our Medicare Advantage plans include Part D prescription drug coverage and benefits for dental, vision, and hearing care.
Medicare Advantage HMO And PPO Plans
Our Medicare Advantage plans are either health maintenance organizations (HMO) or preferred provider organizations (PPO). We have a leading network of doctors and hospitals, and we constantly work with them to lower costs of care.
Anthem MediBlue HMO
With a Medicare Advantage HMO plan, you’ll choose a primary care physician (PCP) whom you’ll see for check-ups and regular exams. Your PCP can also help you find the right specialists when you need them.
Anthem MediBlue PPO
With a Medicare Advantage PPO, you can see any doctor or specialist in the plan without a referral. You can also see doctors outside of the plan but the services may cost more.
Medicare Advantage Special Needs Plans
Special Needs Plans (SNPs) are Medicare Advantage plans for people living with certain medical conditions, or those with low incomes. If you’re living with a chronic condition such as diabetes, heart disease, or a lung disorder, you may want to learn about Chronic Condition SNPs. Another type of SNP is available for people with both Medicare and Medicaid. Dual Eligible SNPs from Anthem can support you with extra benefits and coverage.

- You want a limit on how much you will pay out of pocket.

- You are not worried about paying for what Original Medicare doesn’t cover.
Switching Medicare Advantage Plans
Everyone wants a Medicare plan they like enough to keep for the long run, but sometimes health needs change. Plan coverage areas and benefits can also change from time to time.
If you need to change your Medicare Advantage plan, we can help. There are also certain times each year when you can change your plan and special circumstances that allow for a plan change.
