Medicare Advantage plans are very popular among seniors in Las Vegas, and Senior Dimensions is one of the oldest and leading companies providing health care to Medicare beneficiaries who currently have Original Medicare, Parts A and B.

Background:

Senior Dimensions has been offering Medicare Advantage plans in Las Vegas since the mid-1980s. In the early 2000s, the United Healthcare group acquired Senior Dimensions, as well as its parent company Sierra Health and Life. United Healthcare is one of the largest health insurers in the United States and is ranked among the 20 largest companies on the Forbes 500 list. United Healthcare is the only health insurance company listed on the Dow 30.

The plan:

His plan is an HMO in Las Vegas. This plan will pay the 20% and deductibles that Original Medicare does not cover. This includes hospital, doctors, and drugs, all in one plan.

Additional benefits:

This plan offers a variety of additional benefits at little or no cost to its members. Remember, Medicare doesn’t care if you can see, hear, or chew.

The plan also offers transportation services, basic dental, hearing, and eye exams, a nurse line, and gym membership.

United Healthcare also has its own hearing aid manufacturer and is able to save its members hearing aids.

In addition to these benefits, they also have 2 Lifestyle centers located in East and West Las Vegas. These lifestyle centers are a hub of activity allowing members to get educated, meet doctors, dance, play and the monthly program can be emailed for your convenience.

Grid:

The network the plan uses is Southwest Medicare Associates and they have many locations throughout Southern Nevada. These centers are an all-in-one facility. This means you can see your doctors, get lab tests, dental, vision and hearing services all in one location.

In 2013, Senior Dimensions opened a new network called the Optum network. These are physicians who do not work for Southwest Medical Associates but are contracted to see Senior Dimension members. This gives members even more choice of doctors and even more locations to choose from.

Drugs:

All Medicare Advantage plans are required by Medicare to include drug coverage. Senior Dimensions offers a complete 5-tier drug list. You will be subject to copays and plan requirements, including costs required by Medicare.

As with all Medicare Advantage plans, you should consult with a qualified Medicare broker who represents you and your needs before purchasing an advantage plan.
