Experience the Benefits of BlueSM

If you are approaching 65 or have Medicare already, you have health plan options available to you. We can support you in making the right decision to meet your needs. Blue Cross Vermont and its affiliates offer a variety of Medicare plan options, including:

  • Medicare Advantage plans that feature premiums and deductibles as low as $0. Our Vermont Blue Advantage® PPO and HMO plans offer comprehensive coverage options including, prescription drug coverage, vision and hearing benefits, and free fitness memberships.
  • Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plans that work in tandem with Original Medicare to help reduce your out-of-pocket costs and that may fill the gaps in Medicare Part A & Part B services.
  • Medicare Prescription Drug plans that cover prescriptions not included in traditional Medicare. If you have Original Medicare or a Medicare Supplement plan, our Blue MedicareRxSM plans can meet your prescription drug coverage needs.

Peace of Mind in Retirement
