Health Care Service Corporation Introduces Enhanced Benefits and More $0 Premium Medicare Advantage Plan Options for 2022

Health Care Service Corporation (HCSC) announced new low cost Medicare Advantage plans for 2022 that offer access to the rich and high-quality provider networks our members are accustomed to. These new options build on the company’s commitment to increase access to affordable care across its health plans in Illinois, Montana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas.  HCSC is adding these new plan options while continuing our dedication to excellent member experiences and helping members receive access to high-quality care and service as exemplified by consistent improvements in its Star ratings. 

HCSC is delivering on our commitment to provide affordable health care choices.  For 2022, HCSC has added 22 new $0 premium Medicare Advantage plans, including both HMO and PPO plan options, with expanded geographical presence throughout its five states. HCSC also will offer an Open Access Flex PPO plan, in which members can access any provider who accepts Medicare, including primary care physicians and specialists, without a copay, coinsurance or an out-of-pocket maximum. Members will enjoy a high level of cost certainty with the Flex PPO plan since there are no out-of-pocket costs.

Plans will provide access to a telehealth provider to help members access urgent care wherever they are when they need it.  Additionally, some plans will offer additional supplement benefits such as over-the-counter items, travel programs, and dental, vision, and hearing benefits.
