“Simply strives to develop innovative solutions that aim to make it simpler for consumers to lead healthier lives,” said Tomas Orozco, President of Simply Healthcare Plans. “We are excited to expand the reach of our Medicare Advantage plans and enhance our services in 2019 so that more individuals are able to receive healthcare services from care providers in their community.”

Many of the company’s Medicare Advantage plans, Simply More (HMO), Simply Level (HMO SNP), Simply Select (HMO), and Simply Complete (DSNP), have $0 monthly premiums, because the company recognizes that out-of-pocket costs are an important consideration for many consumers when they’re selecting health insurance.
