$0

premium and featuring a rebate on the customer’s Part B premium; Cigna Preferred Plus Medicare (HMO), with more robust benefits for a premium; Cigna TotalCare (HMO D-SNP), a plan for people who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid, and Cigna True Choice Courage Medicare (PPO), which is a stand-alone Medicare Advantage plan designed to appeal to U.S. military veterans that features

$0

premium, a monthly

$50

rebate on Medicare Part B premiums and a

$300

annual allowance for people with certain chronic conditions to use for caring for a pet.

All plans also include the following:

$0

copay for in-person and virtual primary care and behavioral services when visiting an in-network provider
A dental allowance to be used for preventive and comprehensive non-cosmetic services at any licensed dentist who accepts Medicare
Hearing and vision benefits
A fitness benefit, including a fitness tracker
Transportation to doctors and pharmacies at no extra cost
Meal delivery following a hospital discharge
An allowance for certain over-the-counter health-related purchases
The Healthy Today flex card, which can be used at participating retailers to redeem benefits and incentives, such as wellness incentives and OTC dollars

PPO plans provide coverage at out-of-network providers, giving customers more freedom and flexibility. Higher cost shares may apply.

Ohio

.
