Kaiser Permanente Senior Advantage - California
Coverage outside of the Kaiser service area is limited to emergency and urgent care only, but this won’t help you much because you are considering becoming a permanent resident of Arkansas. If you plan to move permanently outside the Kaiser service area you will be disenrolled from Senior Advantage. Any person insured under a Medicare Advantage plan this is considering relocation should check with their insurance company to understand their options. There are Medicare plans available and you can find agents to assist you in reviewing your options by visiting our Arkansas Medicare Supplemental Insurance Directory. There are special eligibility requirements for persons that are switching Medicare plans because they have moved outside of the area of their current Medicare provider. You can find out more information about the enrollment requirements by visiting http://www.medicare.gov or discussing this with a Medicare company in Arkansas. 2 CommentsLeave a comment |

I am currently a member of Kaiser Permanente Senior Advantage in California. My son lives in Arkansas, so I am thinking of going there. How will I be covered by Kaiser if I move there?
This is actually a question that should be addressed to Kaiser, but we can summarize it for you: You won’t be!! The Kaiser Permanente Senior Advantage is available only to people who live in the service area. As with most Medicare Advantage HMO plans the insurance companies work with a specific group of physicians and hospitals. Kaiser is unique in that they are an insurance company who manages their own health care facilities and employees their own staff of physicians. This network of health care providers is limited to specific geographic locations. Kaiser does not currently operate facilities in Arkansas.
I have a friend that will be turning 65 in May. She would like to have Senior Advantage as I do. I am inquiring for her about meds that Senior Advantage will cover. She takes an antipschotic drug-Geodon. Would this be covered by Kaiser Senior Advantage?

What is the best Medicare advantage plan for me? I am disabled and need a really good plan with a great dental package and low or no copay. I do not know much about insurance at all except about insurance for selfemployed as I was running my own business for many years. Now I am on social security(A+B) because my income has been very low since I became disabled. I get some help from Medicaid, but I have not been able to find a good Medicare advantage plan so I can get some much needed dental work done. I have a lot of pain in my teeth and does not want to go for long like this. Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated!
