Medicare Advantage PPO Plans for Mobile Seniors

March 22, 2021 by Lance Hoeltke

How often do you run into clients and prospects that spend significant time in multiple states? Whether they are snowbirds with more than one home or simply enjoy visiting the grandkids, many seniors spend as much time away from their permanent residence as they do at it.

While these folks are more mobile than most seniors, it doesn’t necessarily mean they want to spend hundreds of dollars per month in Medicare Supplement premiums. Fortunately, there are a number of Medicare Advantage Plan carriers with a national PPO presence that offer in-network coverage over large portions of the country.

How Do National PPO Networks Work?

Let’s say you you’re working with a married couple that live in Ohio and have a second home in South Florida. This couple loves the Cleveland Clinic but spends January through April every year at their Florida home. Is there a Medicare Advantage plan that could suit their needs?

Fortunately, Humana has multiple PPO MAPD plans available to beneficiaries living in Ohio. They also have many in-network PPO providers your prospects can access in Florida, including the South Florida branch of the Cleveland Clinic.

While this is a very specific example, these situations arise in various forms across the country. If you do your homework and are familiar with the PPO plans in your service area, you could help save a mobile senior hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars per year in Medigap premiums.

Do Your Homework

Make sure you’re aware of the Medicare Advantage PPO carriers in your service area that have a national network of providers available to your clients. Then find out if there is a specific provider group that your client is interested in seeing when they are away from their residence. Even if they don’t have a group in mind, you can help them search for providers in a specific location.
