Mutual of Omaha Expands Medicare Supplement Plan Portfolio

By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Managed Care Weekly Digest -- Mutual of Omaha has introduced two new plans to its Medicare supplement insurance portfolio to provide additional coverage options for customers. High Deductible Plan F and Plan N are fully underwritten and offer lower premiums due to their cost-sharing features (see also Mutual of Omaha).

Policyholders enrolled in High Deductible Plan F pay their Medicare-covered costs - including deductibles, coinsurance and copayments - up to the policy's deductible amount of $2,180 in 2016.

Plan N requires up to a $20 copayment for some office visits and up to a $50 copayment for emergency room visits.

"Customers deserve a wide range of options when it comes to selecting their Medicare supplement coverage," said Amber Rinehart, vice president and actuary. "We hope our High Deductible Plan F and Plan N can help Medicare beneficiaries who prefer the lower premiums associated with these cost-sharing policies."

Both of Mutual's new plans provide immediate coverage and allow the customer to choose his or her health care providers and facilities.
