Florida Medicare Advantage Plans from Freedom Health

Florida Medicare Advantage Plans from Freedom Health

Freedom Health, which was founded in 2004, is a Tampa, Florida-based health insurance business that’s operated and owned by a group of physicians. The organization administers Medicare and Medicaid benefits throughout many Florida counties. It aims at providing members with affordable health coverage which is designed to upgrade their quality of health care and cut down on out-of-pocket costs. The organization works closely with a network of local health insurance brokerages and agents and also has offices in Casselberry, Fort Myers, Ocala, Spring Hill, and Vero Beach.

Since the health maintenance organization (HMO) deals strictly in Medicare and Medicaid plans, its medicare supplemental coverage is offered in combination with an existing Medicare or Medicaid policy. Therefore, to qualify for one of their health plans, you will already have to be enrolled in a Medicaid policy or Medicare Part A and Part B. Freedom Health has several different Medicare Advantage plans to choose from. These include plans that provide prescription drug coverage and have Part B premium reductions, as well as those aimed at customers with chronic conditions and those who have coverage with both Medicare and Medicaid.

In the Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug Plans, you have to use prescription drugs that have been placed on an approved list. The policy can be part of your Part B or D premium, cover medication through the coverage gap, and sometimes offers reduced co-payments for mail-order and generic drugs. However, you need to be aware that if your Medicare Advantage plan offers coverage for prescription drugs and you then enroll in a standalone drug plan, you may be removed from the Medicare Advantage Plan and placed back into original Medicare.

The Freedom Health Medicare Special Needs Plans (SNPs) are designed to provide health care for certain people. These include those who suffer from chronic conditions such as osteoarthritis or diabetes, those who are institutionalized, and those who are eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid.

The company provides three different SNPs, known as Combined, Pulmonary, and Dual Eligible. The Combined SNP covers people with diabetes and certain types of cardiovascular disease. These are cardiac arrhythmias, coronary artery disease, peripheral vascular disease, chronic heart failure, and chronic venous thromboembolic disorder.

The Pulmonary SNP covers people with chronic lung disorders such as asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, and chronic bronchitis. The Dual Eligible SNP is designed for those who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid benefits.

The company’s basic Medicare Advantage Health Plan is an alternative health insurance option for senior citizens to original Medicare. It offers better physician and hospital benefits as well as drug benefits at a lower cost. This plan enables you to combine both your prescription drug and health coverage for one price while supplementing your existing medicare covereage.

Freedom Health’s Advantage Plans includes a large network of local Florida hospitals and doctors which coordinate your health care professionally.

  4. How can Freedom Health just arbitrarily cut off medicine under their so called covered formulary program? I have or had congestive heart failure and was on entresto for over a year. Now, I get notice they don’t want to pay for it because I may not be having chronic heart failure. The point is if things are working to prevent a problem why stop it? I am also on Xerelto so I wonder how long will it take before they get tired of paying for it that they cut me off of Xeralto?

  6. I have nothing but the highest praise for all the representatives and supervisors at Freedom here in Florida. With just one phone call, they fix any problem in less than 30 minutes!! They are courteous, professional, and have handled any issues with Prior Authorizations, problems with providers, and specialty drugs. One, I repeat one phone call and a burden is lifted from me. I am forever grateful to all of you and without a doubt know that you have my many medical issues ready to help. God bless all of you.
