Medicare Advantage Plans Connecticut

There are 5 companies offering Medicare Advantage Plans (MA or MAPD) in the state of Connecticut.  The 5 companies are Anthem BCBS, Aetna, United HealthCare, Connecticare and Wellcare.  They do not all offer their plans in all counties of Connecticut however.  This post provides an overview of what is available.  Please call or email us for a benefit summary on any of the plans listed below.

WellCare- Offers plans in Fairfield, Hartford and New Haven Counties.  Wellcare has a $0 premium plan that boasts the lowest copays of any $0 premium MAPD in Connecticut.  They also have the only Dual Eligible offering in the state.   Both plans are very strong from a copay and additional benefit standpoint.    Wellcare does have network limitation that need to be considered.  Networks tend to be best in and around cities.  They do not have network in northern Fairfield county.

Anthem BCBS- Anthem offers plans in all counties of Connecticut.  They have an HMO offering for $28 per month.  They also have a PPO (available in limited counties only) for $18.00 that boasts very strong benefits compared to all other PPO plans in Connecticut.   Anthem has a very large network but is missing some major Physician IPA groups in CT.

United HealthCare- United offers plans in all counties of Connecticut.  They have 2 HMO plans ($99 a month plan and $0 a month plan) along with an AARP branded PPO plan for $24.00 a month.   United has an extensive provider network through Connecticut.  The UHC plans do not participate with Quest Labs which should be taken into consideration.  All other major labs do participate however.

Aetna- Currently offer plans in Fairfield, Hartford, Litchfield and New Haven county.  They have a $0 premium plan HMO, $94.00 HMO and a $90 PPO plan.  The $0 premium plan has benefits second only to Wellcare when compared to the other $0 premium plans in the state.  They also have a substantial network to go with the plan and allow for access to any Aetna Medicare HMO provider nation wide.  The Aetna PPO is not competitive at this point due to a $1,000 out of network deductible.

Connecticare- We have a contract with Connecticare but they will not allow to post any comments about their plan.  Call the office if you want information on this company 203-796-5403 or email Edward@Croweandassociates.com
