Geisinger Health Plan announces Medicare Advantage plans for 2025
DANVILLE, Pa. - Geisinger Health Plan announced its Geisinger Gold Medicare Advantage plans for 2025 include benefits designed to make better health easier for its members with premiums starting as low as $0 per month.
"Health care should be at the top of everyone's mind - especially seniors," said Kurt Wrobel, Geisinger Health Plan president. "Now is the time for older adults to review their Medicare coverage plans for 2025. Everyone's health looks different, which is why Geisinger Gold offers plans that fill the gaps that might be missing in their current coverage. People can live healthier lives when they have access to extra services and programs that make managing health easier and more affordable."
The Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) begins Oct. 15 and goes through Dec. 7, providing a seven-week window for eligible seniors to evaluate and enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan for 2025. Medicare Advantage plans help older adults fill health care gaps that traditional Medicare does not cover, such as vision, dental, prescription benefits and long-term care.
As an added perk, all Geisinger Gold plan members can join Geisinger 65 Forward, a program that delivers concierge care focused on older adults. At a 65 Forward Health Center, members enjoy:
• Same-day appointments to see the doctor faster
• Longer 1:1 time with the doctor
• Social and educational activities
• A personal wellness plan, including state-of-the-art fitness equipment, exercise classes and wellness coordinators
• Access to mental health resources, including therapists and online tools
Geisinger's program data indicates participation in programs like 65 Forward lowers emergency room visits by 40% and lowers inpatient admissions by 15%.
