Geisinger Health Plan Medicare Options for Veterans

Veterans can select a special Medicare Advantage plan geared toward them from Geisinger Health Plan (GHP) during the ongoing Medicare Annual Enrollment Period, which ends Sunday, Dec. 7.

Veterans can continue to receive Veteran Affairs (VA) health care benefits without adding a monthly payment. The Geisinger Gold Heritage (HMO) plan provides veterans with more non-VA health care facility options when seeking care closer to home, including:

• $0 copay for supplemental preventive and comprehensive dental services, up to $1,250 annually
• $40 allowance per month for over-the-counter purchases like cough medicine and bandages
• $200 allowance per year for eyewear
• $1,250 allowance per year every 3 years for prescription hearing aids and $250 allowance every 2 years for 1 pair of over-the-counter hearing aids.
• A cap in out-of-pocket costs for inpatient stays
• Access to more than 30,000 doctors and specialists, 180+ hospitals and all VA facilities

“We recognize and honor the special role veterans have played for our country — and we understand their unique health care needs,” said Roger van Baaren, Geisinger Health Plan chief sales officer. “That’s why GHP is proud to have plans that were designed with veterans specifically in mind.”
