Medicare Advantage Plans

Available to members and non-members. Plans and pricing are on the UnitedHealthcare website.

Medicare Advantage plans offer additional benefits not covered by Original Medicare. Plan options may include coverage for prescription drugs, dental, vision, hearing, fitness and more.

You'll leave AARP.org and go to the website of a trusted provider. The provider's terms, conditions, and policies apply.

Disclosures

AARP commercial member benefits are provided by third parties, not by AARP or its affiliates. Providers pay a royalty fee to AARP for the use of its intellectual property. These fees are used for the general purposes of AARP. Some provider offers are subject to change and may have restrictions.

State Availability

Not available in Alaska or the U.S. territories.

AARP Medicare Advantage plans cover features and benefits in addition to those included in Original Medicare. Members in some areas may have different plans from which to choose. The plans often include an integrated Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit.

Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) plans have a defined network of contracted local physicians and hospitals to provide member care. Generally, members must use these care providers to receive benefits for covered services, except in emergencies. Some HMO plans do not need referrals for specialty care.

Point of Service (HMO-POS) plans include all the features of HMO plans plus the ability to go outside the contracted network for certain health care services - typically at a higher cost. Some POS plans do not require referrals for specialty care.

Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plans offer members access to a network of contracted physicians and hospitals, but also allow them the flexibility to seek covered services from outside of the contracted network, usually at a higher cost. Members do not need a referral for specialty care.

PPO plans are available as either local PPO (certain counties within a state) or regional PPO (RPPO) offerings. RPPOs serve a larger geographic area - either a single state or a multi-state area. RPPOs offer the same premiums, benefits and cost-sharing requirements to all members in the region.

UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage networks

You can save money by knowing what doctors are in-network for your UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage plan. Medicare Advantage plans are a different way to get your Medicare benefits. Medicare Advantage plans cover all the benefits of Medicare Part A (hospital insurance) and Part B (medical insurance). Plus, most plans include prescription drug coverage and additional benefits not covered by Original Medicare. Medicare Advantage plans are provided by Medicare-approved private insurance companies. These plans, such as those offered by UnitedHealthcare, often contract with health providers to deliver care.

Most UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage plans have provider networks. Common UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage plan types and their network arrangements are listed below.

Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs): UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage HMOs generally require you to get your health care from providers in the plan’s network or your plan may not pay for services. Exceptions to this rule include out-of-network emergency care, urgent care, and renal dialysis services. You’ll choose a primary care provider (PCP) who will handle all your routine health care. Some plans require you to obtain specialty referrals from your PCP.
Preferred Provider Organizations (PPOs): UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage PPOs give you the flexibility to visit any provider nationwide who accepts Medicare, without referrals. . However, you usually pay less when you use providers in the plan’s preferred provider network.
Special Needs Plans (SNPs): UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage SNPs can be HMO or PPO plans. Enrollment in these plans is limited to individuals who a) have certain qualifying chronic illnesses or conditions, b) live in a nursing home or in a contracted assisted living facility and require the level of care provided in a nursing home c) are eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid benefits.

Not all plan types are available everywhere. The UnitedHealthcare Medicare provider networks can be different from one plan to another.
