How does Hospital Indemnity complement Medicare Advantage?

In the video below, we highlight how Hospital Indemnity coverage complements Medicare Advantage by covering copays, mirroring Medicare Supplement plans' role in addressing deductibles for original Medicare. We also emphasize the potential for a Medicare Advantage and Hospital Indemnity combination to offer clients comprehensive coverage.

A great time to introduce hospital indemnity coverage to your clients is when they turn 65 , often coinciding with changes in healthcare plans like transitioning from Medicare Supplement or contemplating Medicare Advantage. Consider informing them about the benefits of an AdvantageGuard™ hospital indemnity plan at this juncture. With competitive premiums as low as $30, Guaranteed Issue options for ages 60-74, and year-round availability, AdvantageGuard offers support your clients may need.

AdvantageGuard is designed to complement existing Medicare Advantage plans. It is a supplemental plan that helps to reduce out-of-pocket costs of many primary health insurance plans by providing additional coverage specifically for hospital-related expenses, with the option, in most states, to add coverage (for additional premium) to cover other expenses like ambulance transportation, emergency room, skilled nursing, and more.

More states will be available soon!
Effective 10/25 AdvantageGuard will be available in:  Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Maryland, Montana, Pennsylvania, Utah and Washington.

Guaranteed Issue ages 60-744

12-month Commission Advance!

Here’s what sets AdvantageGuard™ apart:

  • Competitive premiums
  • Provider-administered outpatient prescription drug benefit rider 1
  • A health insurer with “A+” (Superior) AM Best rating with Golden Rule2
  • Benefit selection: AdvantageGuard offers flexibility in benefit selection, allowing individuals to choose the coverage options that best meet their needs and budget, and can be tailored to suit different preferences and circumstances.
  • There is no waiting period for standard plan benefits and most optional benefits3
  • Available for issue ages 60 through 90
  • Plans are renewable for life as outlined in the policy

AdvantageGuard is a different contract than MA

 If you currently have a UHC Medicare Advantage contract, you will need to complete new contracting for AdvantageGaurd. Agents that currently have the UHOne (short term and ancillary) contract under SMM will already have this added to their contracts.

If you are currently contracted under another FMO, contracting with Stephens-Matthews for AdvantageGuard will not effect your current UntitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage contract.
