CARE WISCONSIN NOW OFFERING MEDICARE DUAL ADVANTAGE IN DANE COUNTY

The Care Wisconsin Medicare Dual Advantage plan solves one challenge individuals with Medicaid sometimes face when shopping for Medicare Advantage plans. Unlike other plans, which may require monthly premiums, the Care Wisconsin Medicare Dual Advantage plan has no monthly premium and no plan deductible. It also includes Part D Prescription Drug coverage.

Individuals can enroll in the program now for 2017. Because it is a special needs program (SNP), eligible individuals may apply at any time, not just during open enrollment which is the time at the end of the year when most Medicare beneficiaries are only allowed to make changes to coverage.

For complete plan details, a list of covered drugs, and providers, interested individuals may visit www.carewisc.org/medicare-dual- advantage.
