BlueMedicare Regional PPO

BlueMedicare Regional PPO is all about flexibility and predictability. Available everywhere in Florida, BlueMedicare Regional PPO members have the freedom to choose their own doctors and hospitals, with no referrals necessary for most health care services.

Use providers inside our extensive BlueMedicare Regional PPO network and enjoy $0 deductible and affordable copays, or visit out-of-network providers for a higher out-of-pocket cost.

Plus, the plan provides Medicare Part D Prescription Drug coverage for generic and brand name drugs with mail order pharmacy benefits included for their convenience.

With affordable premiums, modest fixed copays and maximum out-of-pocket limits, BlueMedicare Regional PPO members can budget their health care costs without changing their lifestyle.

Please note that with any Medicare Advantage plan, members are required to continue paying their Medicare Part B (medical insurance) premium unless paid for by Medicaid or another third party. This is a Medicare Advantage plan, not a Medicare Supplement plan.
