Medicare Advantage plans give you more than doctor visits. They are made to help you stay healthy, save money, and get the right support. Still, many people are unaware of the additional services these plans offer. At our Senior Medical Centers, we work closely with your plan to ensure you receive every available benefit. When you use them fully, you can feel better, save money, and enjoy peace of mind.

Use Your Preventive Services

Medicare Advantage covers preventive services, including screenings and annual wellness visits. These visits look for problems early, before they become bigger issues. Examples include blood pressure checks, cancer screenings, and diabetes tests.

Finding high blood pressure early may mean taking a low-cost medication now, rather than facing a costly ER visit later. As your primary care team, we help schedule these preventive visits and explain the results, so you don’t miss out on what your plan already covers.

You can learn more about preventive services in our guide to the next level care you deserve.

Explore Wellness Benefits

Some Medicare Advantage plans include extras that go beyond medical care. These may include gym memberships, fitness programs such as SilverSneakers, or nutrition and dietary support.

Not every plan offers these perks, so it’s important to review your plan details carefully. If your plan does, we encourage you to use them. Staying active can help your body stay strong, improve your mood, and lower your risk for long-term health problems. Our providers can even help connect you with programs that fit your needs.

Get Help With Care Coordination

If you see more than one doctor, keeping track of medicines and tests can be a challenge. Medicare Advantage often includes care coordination, which means your doctors and pharmacists share important notes. Our providers guide this process for you, making sure your treatments work together safely and effectively. This teamwork helps prevent dangerous mix-ups, giving you peace of mind.

Save Money on Other Care

Some people think Medicare Advantage plans cost more, but in reality, they can often help you save. Most plans set a yearly limit on how much you’ll pay out of pocket. After that, the plan covers approved services.

Some plans add dental, vision, or hearing care. These are not part of original Medicare. Using them can save you hundreds of dollars a year. For example, a dental cleaning that might cost $150 out of pocket could be included at no extra cost.

With so much information available on Medicare, it’s hard to decipher what’s fact versus fiction. We’ve put together a list of Medicare facts to help clear up some questions. Click here to read the guide.

Stay Active in Your Health

The right Medicare Advantage plan does more than cover your care—it connects you with a doctor and care team who help you take an active role in your health. At IntuneHealth, that means we make it easier to stay on top of the simple things that keep you healthy:

• Keeping track of appointments
• Going to preventive visits
• Asking questions during medical visits
• Using online tools for test results or refills

Your care team supports you through each of these steps by helping schedule visits, follow up on results, and explain next steps in plain, easy-to-understand language.

Putting It All Together

Medicare Advantage offers more than basic coverage. It gives you no-cost preventive services, possible wellness programs, care coordination, and cost savings. The key is knowing what’s included and using it.

When you take part—by booking your yearly wellness visit, joining a class if your plan covers it, or asking about screenings—you are investing in your health and future. At our centers, we make it simple to get the most from your benefits, so you can stay healthier and spend less.

How We Can Help

Each year, Medicare offers special enrollment periods when you can join, switch, or make changes to your plan. This is also the best time to confirm that your provider is included in your plan’s network.
