Alignment Health Plan Launches New CalPlus + Veterans HMO Plan in California, Home to Largest Veteran Population of Any State
11 November 2022 - 3:00AM
Alignment Health, a tech-enabled Medicare Advantage (MA) insurance
company, has added a new Alignment Health Plan HMO option designed
to serve the men and women who proudly served our country. The
CalPlus + Veterans HMO, available to anyone eligible for Medicare
residing in one of the 18 California counties in Alignment’s
service area, is a $0-premium plan that complements Veterans
Affairs (VA) health care coverage for those who served in the
active military, naval, or air service and received an honorable
discharge.
California is home to 1.8 million veterans,
representing 8% of the total U.S. veteran population.1 Eligible
adults can select the plan during the annual Medicare enrollment
period, which runs through Dec. 7 for plan benefits starting Jan.
1, 2023.
CalPlus + Veterans HMO offers comprehensive medical and
prescription drug coverage, with rich supplemental benefits not
traditionally offered by the VA, such as:
- $0 copay for primary care doctor and specialist visits outside
the VA system
- $600 yearly caregiver reimbursement
- $150 monthly grocery allowance for members with a qualifying
chronic condition
- Up to 20 free, one-way rides to plan-approved locations within
a 50-mile radius
- Free fitness memberships
- A “Flex” allowance that provides an additional $600 per year
that can be used for important vision, hearing, dental and
chiropractic items and services like dentures, veneers and cupping,
from both in-network and out-of-network providers
“Alignment is proud to serve the brave men and women who
sacrificed so much for our country with our first plan tailored to
the needs of our veterans,” said Dawn Maroney, CEO of Alignment
Health Plan. “Our CalPlus + Veterans Plan joins our growing lineup
of customized plans, benefits and support to help empower today’s
seniors and Medicare-eligible adults with more value, flexibility
and choice in their care.”
Alignment Health Plan’s CalPlus + Veterans HMO will be available
to Medicare-eligible adults in all 18 California counties that
Alignment will serve in 2023: Alameda, Fresno, Los Angeles, Madera,
Marin, Orange, Placer, Riverside, Sacramento, San Bernardino, San
Diego, San Francisco, San Joaquin, San Luis Obispo, Santa Clara,
Stanislaus, Ventura and Yolo.
Like other Alignment members, members of the CalPlus + Veterans
plan will have access to the company’s 24/7 ACCESS On-Demand
Concierge, a dedicated concierge team available 24 hours a day,
seven days a week, to answer health-related questions, schedule
medical appointments and arrange transportation.
Alignment’s diverse portfolio of 2023 plans will be available to
8.3 million Medicare-eligible adults across 52 total markets across
Arizona, California, Nevada and North Carolina, as well as two new
states — Florida and Texas. New offerings include expanded
$0-premium Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plans, special
needs plans for adults eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid, and
new benefits to support today’s senior lifestyles. In 2023, the
company also is offering new benefits such as a one-month supply of
insulin for $35 or less and discounted pet medication.
