Medicare Advantage plans

Henderson residents are lucky; Clark County is one of the few counties in Nevada where retirees have 44 different options regarding Henderson, Nevada Medicare Advantage plans. But comparing them all can get overwhelming and fast. We’re here to help.

Many of these Medicare Advantage plans start with a $0 monthly premium, making them highly affordable. But you also have to calculate out-of-pocket costs when deciding on a plan. This means UnitedHealthcare and Wellcare are the two most affordable in the chart below.

Unfortunately, you can’t say that about Humana or Aetna. They allow their plan members to spend up to $6,700 out-of-pocket before taking on more of the costs. And those expenses can come from coinsurance and copays or even the cost of prescription drugs.

Alignment is a bit of an outlier. They fall in the middle as far as affordability goes. But they don’t have any data available on their customer service record.

Medicare Supplement plans

You could purchase a Henderson, Nevada, Medigap Supplement plan instead of replacing your Medicare benefits with a Part C plan. They’re small, standardized supplements that offer the same benefits in nearly every state. So finding the cheapest one is as easy as comparing monthly premiums.

If you want SUPER Medicare, you can get a pretty cheap Plan F for as little as $130 in Henderson, Nevada. Or you could opt for the high deductible version, Plan HDF, for only $30 per month. Both offer the same benefits, but you’ll have to pay a large deductible upfront before insurance steps in for the cheaper one.

How comprehensive is Plan D? More than most retirees realize. The only difference between it and full-coverage Plan F is the Part B deductible and Part B excess charges. Remember, though, that providers in Nevada are legally allowed to charge excess charges, so either budget for them or choose a plan which covers them.

Plan N is very comprehensive and for a reasonable price, too. It’s very similar to Plan D. Instead of completely covering your Part B coinsurance and copayments; you will be asked for a small copay.
