Plan Types and Structure
Medicare Advantage (Part C)
UnitedHealthcare AARP Medicare Advantage plans typically bundle hospital (Part A), medical (Part B), and often prescription drug (Part D) coverage. Many plans include extra benefits such as dental, vision, hearing, and wellness programs. Networks, premiums, and out-of-pocket limits vary by plan and location.
Medicare Supplement (Medigap)
UnitedHealthcare also offers Medigap policies that help cover gaps in Original Medicare, such as copays, coinsurance, and deductibles. These plans do not include prescription drug coverage and require a separate Part D plan.
Prescription Drug Coverage
Standalone Part D plans are available in many areas. Formularies, pharmacy networks, and tiered pricing differ by plan.
What to Check Before Enrolling
- Plan availability in your ZIP code
- Network providers and hospitals
- Premiums, deductibles, and out-of-pocket maximums
- Drug formulary and pharmacy network
- Extra benefits and any limits or exclusions
Where to Find Current Details
Plan details change annually. The most reliable sources are the official UnitedHealthcare Medicare site, the AARP Medicare Resource Center, and the Medicare Plan Finder at Medicare.gov. You can also call UnitedHealthcare directly or work with a licensed insurance agent for personalized help.
