2022 Medicare BlueBasic (PPO)


Medicare BlueBasic (PPO) H3335-044 is a 2022 Medicare Advantage Plan or Part-C by Excellus Health Plan, Inc available to residents in New York. This plan does not provide additional prescription drug (Part-D) coverage. The Medicare BlueBasic (PPO) has a monthly premium of $0 and has an in-network maximum out-of-pocket limit of $4,500 (MOOP). This means that if you get sick or need a high cost procedure the co-pays are capped once you pay $4,500 out-of-pocket. This can be a extremely nice safety net.

Medicare BlueBasic (PPO) is a Local PPO *. A preferred provider organization (PPO) is a Medicare plan that has created contracts with a network of "preferred" providers for you to choose from at reduced rates. You do not need to select a primary care physician and you do not need referrals to see other providers in the network. Offering you a little more flexibility overall. You can get medical attention from a provider outside of the network but you will have to pay the difference between the out-of-network bill and the PPOs discounted rate.

Excellus Health Plan, Inc works with Medicare to provide significant coverage beyond Part A and Part B benefits. If you decide to sign up for Medicare BlueBasic (PPO) you still retain Original Medicare. But you will get additional Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Part B (Medical Insurance) coverage from Excellus Health Plan, Inc and not Original Medicare. With Medicare Advantage you are always covered for urgently needed and emergency care. Plus you receive all the benefits of Original Medicare from Excellus Health Plan, Inc except hospice care. Original Medicare still provides you with hospice care even if you sign up for Medicare Advantage.
