IBC is pleased to announce BlueExtra, our new freestanding supplemental plan that covers dental and vision services and hearing aid reimbursement not covered by our Medicare Advantage PPO Plan or Medicare Supplement Plans. BlueExtra is available starting May 1, 2011.
Regardless of their current health care plan, individuals have the option of choosing between two BlueExtra plans – Basic or Plus. Our Basic plan has a monthly premium of $19, while the monthly premium for Plus is $29. Our Plus plan also offers value-added health and wellness programs through Healthy LifestylesSM, which are not available with the Basic plan.
BlueExtra is a supplemental plan and does not cover any medical services. It will not affect our members’ current health care plans. Individuals can enroll or disenroll at any time; however, once individuals disenroll from BlueExtra, they cannot apply for BlueExtra again until one year from the termination date.
For more information about the specific benefits offered by BlueExtra, please refer to our Basic and/or Plus Outline of Coverage document, which is available at www.ibxmedicare.com/plan_finder/blueextra. If you have any questions, please contact your Network Coordinator.
