ACO Reach is Medicare Advantage on steroids, a profit-driven model and Trump -era pilot program that Biden admin slightly modified.Medicare patients may be taken out of traditional Medicare and put into an ACO, (often owned by a health insurance or private equity company) without their knowledge.
Gail, do not, and I repeat, DO NOT sign up for any Advantage Program. I hit Medicare 18 months ago and with a prescription plan and a supplemental plan pay very little out of pocket. Advantage plans look great to healthy 65 year olds. They start to crush them when they actually start feeling the impacts of ageing, whether that happens at 70 or 75.
Supplement, Plan G, in place! Plus a drug plan. With RA I didn’t even consider Advantage plans, though til the end of ‘24 my meds will cost a fortune. 2025 sees the medication cost capped ay $2K. Colonoscopy on Wednesday to squeeze the last out of my private insurance. Whee! 😂
Reminds me of when Blue Cross Blue Shield companies were 501(c)(4) non-profits that were chosen as partners to administer Medicare (which had a 2% administrative overhead compared to private companies that were 15% or higher).
