Good Medicare Plan Options

UnitedHealthcare offers Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement (Medigap), Prescription Drug Plans, and combined Medicare and Medicaid plans (Medicare Special Needs).

If you have Original Medicare (traditional Medicare), a Medicare supplement insurance plan can help control your out-of-pocket expenses. Prescription Drug Plans offer prescription drug coverage.

This wide array of offerings means that most Medicare shoppers will be able to find a plan that meets their needs.

Partnered with the AARP

UnitedHealthcare is partnered with the AARP to offer Medicare plans with the AARP brand. It is the only health insurance company to do this.

While not all of UnitedHealthcare's Medicare plans carry the AARP brand, this partnership shows United Healthcare's dedication to helping elderly Americans and attention to their needs.

• Limited Customer Insight
• No Part A or Part B
• Plan Options Vary by Zip Code

Limited Customer Insight

UnitedHealthcare has not received many reviews for Medicare, which makes it difficult to give a recommendation based on the customer experience. Reviews for UnitedHealthcare are split between high and low ratings.

Although this trend isn't great to see, high proportions of low ratings are common for health insurance.

No Part A or Part B

UnitedHealthcare does not offer Medicare Parts A or B. Part A is hospital insurance. Part B is medical insurance.

These Medicare Parts are Original Medicare. They are managed by a federal agency called Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

Instead, UnitedHealthcare offers Medicare Advantage plans (Part C) offer both hospital and medical insurance in one policy. These plans usually have out-of-pocket limits that protect your out-of-pocket spending.

Having both kinds of coverage available under one plan is convenient for Medicare beneficiaries.

Plan Options Vary by Zip Code

Not every kind of Medicare plan offered by UnitedHealthcare is available in every area. Plan options and variations within each kind of Medicare plan may also be different from zip code to zip code. While this can be frustrating for shoppers, UnitedHealthcare makes it easy to see the plans available in your area online.
