United Health Care (AARP) announced today they were waiving the cost share on Medicare Advantage plans. The following is the announcement:
Member’s health is our priority. Recently, we shared news that UnitedHealth Group is taking additional action to directly support people affected by the COVID-19 pandemic by providing over $1.5 billion of additional support for our customers. We wanted to share more details with you.
To help member’s get the care they need, we are waiving cost-share (copays, coinsurance and deductibles) for our Medicare Advantage plan members as follows. Members will have a $0 copay for primary care provider (PCP) and specialist physician services, as well as other covered services (listed below) between May 11, 2020 until at least September 30, 2020. By lowering our PCP and specialist copays to $0, along with our telehealth cost-share waiver, we hope to help make it easier for member’s to access care.

The following services, if covered by a member’s plan, are eligible for a $0 copay under the cost share waiver, but do not include diagnostic tests and certain other services.
- Primary care provider (PCP) office visits

- Physician assistant or nurse practitioner office visits
- Medicare-covered chiropractic and acupuncture services
- Podiatry services and routine eye and hearing exams
- Physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy

- Lab and Diagnostic tests (radiological and non-radiological)
- Part B and Part D drugs
- Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics and Supplies

UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage Plan 2 (HMO) H0755-031 is a 2020 Medicare Advantage Plan or Medicare Part-C plan by UnitedHealthcare available to residents in Connecticut. This plan includes additional Medicare prescription drug (Part-D) coverage. The UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage Plan 2 (HMO) has a monthly premium of $29.00 and has an in-network Maximum Out-of-Pocket limit of $6,000 (MOOP). This means that if you get sick or need a high cost procedure the co-pays are capped once you pay $6,000 out of pocket. This can be a extremely nice safety net.
UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage Plan 2 (HMO) is a Local HMO. With a health maintenance organization (HMO) you will be required to receive most of your health care from an in-network provider. Health maintenance organizations require that you select a primary care physician (PCP). Your PCP will serve as your personal doctor to provide all of your basic healthcare services. If you require specialized care or a physician specialist, your primary care physician will make the arrangements and inform you where you can go in the network. You will need your PCPs okay, called a referral. Services received from an out-of-network provider are not typically covered by the plan.
UnitedHealthcare works with Medicare to provide significant coverage beyond Part A and Part B benefits. If you decide to sign up for UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage Plan 2 (HMO) you still retain Original Medicare. But you will get additional Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Part B (Medical Insurance) coverage from UnitedHealthcare and not Original Medicare. With Medicare Advantage Plans you are always covered for urgently needed and emergency care. Plus you receive all of the benefits of Original Medicare from UnitedHealthcare except hospice care. Original Medicare still provides you with hospice care even if you sign up for a Medicare Advantage Plan.
