Starting in 2025, Medicare Advantage enrollees will receive a helpful nudge in the middle of the year. This new initiative aims to ensure you get the most out of your plan by reminding you about any supplemental benefits you haven’t used yet.
What are supplemental benefits?
These are perks offered by some Medicare Advantage plans that go beyond what Original Medicare covers. They can include things like:
- Vision care
- Dental care
- Hearing aids
- Fitness programs
Why the mid-year reminder?
Many beneficiaries might not be aware of all the extra benefits included in their plan, or they may simply forget to take advantage of them. This new notification will serve as a friendly reminder to explore these valuable resources and ensure you’re getting the full value from your Medicare Advantage plan.
What to expect in the notification
The notification, arriving between June 30th and July 31st of each year, will be personalized to you. It will detail any supplemental benefits you haven’t used in the first half of the year and explain:
- The specific benefit details
- Any associated costs
- How to access the benefit
- Necessary network information (if applicable)
