Need prescription drug coverage?

Medicare RxAs a Medicare Beneficiary, you can choose from different Medicare prescription drug coverage options. One option is to get prescription drug coverage through a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan, like the Blue Shield Medicare Rx Plans. Another option is to get your prescription drug coverage through a Medicare Advantage Plan that offers prescription drug coverage. You make the choice. Be sure to review the Blue Shield of California Medicare Prescription Drug Plan -- the Blue Shield Medicare Rx Plan by clicking on the brochure image to the right.

If Medicare Supplement plans are standard, how do you choose between the different companies?

Some companies offer a wider range of plan choices or charge lower monthly dues. Some companies, such as Blue Shield, work hard to provide additional programs and service to prove that they care about the health of California citizens.

Some plans have letters in their names, but are actually Medicare Select Plans. The main difference between the two types of "letter" plans is that Select Plans require you to use a special network of providers to receive full benefits. Standard Medicare Supplement Plans give you unrestricted access to any provider that accepts Medicare in the United States.

It's a good idea to consider things like monthly dues, customer service, health resources and the company's experience, reputation and stability. At Blue Shield of California they have over 60 years of experience providing the citizens of California with quality healthcare that places you, the customer, at the center of what they do.
