New co-branded plan offers access to a large,
comprehensive care provider network in the Bay Area
UnitedHealthcare will offer a new Medicare Advantage plan in the
Bay Area featuring Canopy Health care providers. The
UnitedHealthcare® Canopy Health Medicare Advantage plan will be
available to more than 630,000 Medicare beneficiaries in Contra
Costa, Alameda and San Francisco counties.
The new plan will offer access to a large, comprehensive,
high-quality network of care providers in the Bay Area who are
affiliated with Canopy Health. These care providers share
UnitedHealthcare’s commitment to improving health outcomes,
lowering the cost of care and creating an exceptional patient
experience.
“The UnitedHealthcare Canopy Health Medicare Advantage plan is
designed to appeal to people looking for the quality care that
Canopy Health providers are known for, and the affordability and
strong benefits of a UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage plan,”
said Alex Uhm, CEO of UnitedHealthcare Medicare & Retirement in
Northern California. “We are grateful for the opportunity to expand
our relationship with Canopy Health, giving Medicare beneficiaries
in the Bay Area more choice and flexibility in their health care
benefits.”
Medicare Advantage enrollment has grown more than 40%1 during
the last five years and now includes more than one-third2 of all
Medicare beneficiaries, including nearly 2.8 million3 people in
California. Medicare Advantage plans typically offer additional
benefits that are not available through Original Medicare,
including prescription drug coverage, fitness memberships, and
vision, dental and hearing benefits. Studies have shown people
enrolled in Medicare Advantage plans have fewer4 and shorter5
hospital stays and spend less6 on hospital admissions than people
enrolled in Original Medicare.
The UnitedHealthcare Canopy Health Medicare Advantage plan will
go into effect Jan. 1, 2020, pending regulatory approval. People
may enroll during Medicare Annual Enrollment from Oct. 15 to Dec.
7.
“UnitedHealthcare offers quality and value in Medicare Advantage
plans, and by joining this new plan, participants will have access
to premier Canopy Health providers in their communities,” said Mike
Robinson, CEO of Canopy Health.
This new Medicare Advantage plan will expand upon
UnitedHealthcare and Canopy Health’s existing relationship that
serves people with employer-sponsored health insurance.
UnitedHealthcare serves more than 3 million people in
California, including 1.2 million Medicare beneficiaries through
its portfolio of Medicare Advantage, Medicare supplement and
prescription drug plans.
