Molina Healthcare Medicare Overview
Original Medicare, known as Medicare Part A and Part B, is federally funded health insurance available to all eligible beneficiaries. Part A covers inpatient hospital care and Part B covers durable medical equipment and a variety of doctor’s services.
Those beneficiaries who want additional benefits may choose to receive coverage through Medicare Advantage plans, also known as Medicare Part C. Advantage plans are required to cover everything that Part A and Part B do, but may also offer vision, dental, hearing and prescription drug coverage. In Florida, Molina Healthcare offers the Molina Medicare Options Plus (HMO SNP) advantage plan which is described in much greater detail below.
Medicare enrollment is the same no matter what state you live in. You must either be a U.S. citizen or a legal permanent resident. You will automatically be enrolled when you reach 65 or you may receive benefits earlier if you meet certain qualifying conditions.
There are Medicare Savings Programs in Florida for those who qualify. Residents with income that falls below a certain limit can receive assistance to help pay for out-of-pocket Medicare costs, such as premiums or deductibles. Assistance is also available for low-income beneficiaries who need help paying for prescription medication costs.
For complete information on Medicare benefits, coverage, supplemental insurance, claims and appeals, and other important information, visit the official Medicare website.
