  • Capital Blue Cross Medicare Advantage Plans Expand Access, Benefits for 2022
    Plans Include Zero-Premium Options, Collaborations with WellSpan Health

    Harrisburg – Capital Blue Cross has widened its Medicare offerings for 2022 to improve access, affordability, flexibility, and benefits.

    In addition to launching three new Medicare Advantage products in collaboration with WellSpan Health, Capital is continuing its BlueJourney Medicare Advantage products, enhancing over-the-counter benefits, and expanding in-person support through additional Capital Blue Cross Connect health and wellness centers.

    “Our Medicare Advantage plans reflect our unwavering commitment to go the extra mile to meet our Medicare Advantage members’ evolving needs,” said Capital Blue Cross President and CEO Todd Shamash. “These products continue our trusted tradition of high-quality healthcare while also adapting to become broader, more flexible, and more accessible.”

    The plans with WellSpan Health provide the greatest value in Medicare Advantage for residents in Adams, Cumberland, Franklin, Lancaster, Lebanon, and York counties, and provide access to Capital Blue Cross’ entire Medicare doctor and hospital network. Plans include a $0 premium HMO, a $0 premium PPO, and a $19 premium PPO, and offer robust market-leading benefits, including dental, vision, hearing, transportation and a flexible over-the-counter allowance. These products feature two of Central Pennsylvania’s most trusted names in healthcare, creating added convenience, enhanced quality of care, reduced costs, and access to doctors and hospitals across the country.

    Capital Blue Cross also is continuing its popular BlueJourney Medicare Advantage products, which will now include a Part D insulin saver program with monthly supply copays as low as $5. The over-the-counter benefit adds a flexible-spend debit card, allowing members to purchase applicable medicine and supplies at participating retailers, and it includes a healthy food allowance for eligible members.

    To help Medicare-eligible individuals make informed decisions, Capital is hosting several informational seminars throughout the 21-county service area. Individuals can register to attend a seminar at CapitalBlueMedicare.com or by calling 1-800-990-4201 (TTY: 711).

    Anyone with questions also can visit one of our Capital Blue Cross Connect health and wellness centers, where a representative can sit down with you personally for one-on-one assistance.
