WILMINGTON, N.C. – New Hanover Health Advantage, sponsored by Novant Health, is proud to offer three comprehensive plan options in 2023 for residents of New Hanover, Pender and Brunswick counties. The plan options include two Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug plans, as well as a new Medicare Advantageonly plan, and all are designed to give residents extra benefits with the local providers they trust.
“We know that patients need high quality health care close to home,” said Dr. Leelee Thames, president of New Hanover Health and chief value officer for Novant Health New Hanover Regional Medical Center. “This is especially true for our senior patients, who have in many cases established a long-standing relationship with their local provider and our care services. Our Medicare Advantage plans allow seniors the flexibility to choose a plan that meets their individual needs right here in this community, and an open access network so patients can see any provider who accepts Medicare.”
Medicare beneficiaries can choose between the New Hanover Health Advantage Platinum Plan, Select Plan and a brand-new Freedom Plan specifically designed for veterans, retired state employees and those who do not participate with Medicare Part D.
Several extra benefits in the 2023 New Hanover Health Advantage plans include:
- Zero dollar premium option.
- Zero dollar primary care office copay. Members can see any provider accepting Medicare patients.
- Zero dollar in-network cardiology specialist and cardiac rehabilitation service copay. This is a new Platinum Plan benefit in 2023.
- $900 annual Part-B premium buy down. This is a new Freedom Plan benefit in 2023.
- $3,000 annual dental benefits.
- Zero dollar in-network preventive dental and eye exam copay.
- Up to $360 annual prepaid card for over-the-counter medications and healthy food at major retailers.
- Reimbursement at fitness club of choice.
