Alignment Healthcare, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALHC), a tech-enabled Medicare
Advantage (MA) company, announced more than 50 Alignment Health
Plan options that offer a wide range of new or enriched benefits
and services in 2024, including a Part B rebate that gives money
back to seniors; a bevy of supplemental benefits including dental
coverage and over-the-counter (OTC) and grocery allowances; and $0
copay for more than 10,000 Part D prescription drugs. The plans
will be available to up to 8.5 million Medicare-eligible adults,
who can select from Alignment’s diverse portfolio during the
Medicare annual enrollment period, which runs Oct. 15 through Dec.
7 for plan benefits starting Jan. 1, 2024.1
In 2024, Alignment will become available in Merced County,
California, expanding its geographic reach to 53 total markets
across the six states in which the company offers plans: Arizona,
California, Florida, Nevada, North Carolina and Texas.
“More seniors are choosing Alignment because our clinical and
member teams take great care to listen and respond to their
changing needs,” said Dawn Maroney, president, markets of Alignment
Healthcare, and CEO of Alignment Health Plan. “We are committed to
always putting our seniors first and serving them. This means more
services and benefits that break down barriers to better health,
and higher quality care at lower costs – all alongside clinical
innovation designed to keep them healthy and aging well.”
New Part B rebate helps ease financial
burden
With the cost of food, gas and health care continuing to rise,
more seniors worry about their ability to pay for the cost of
living. According to Alignment’s second annual “Social Threats to
Aging Well in America” report released in September, U.S. seniors
rank economic instability and food insecurity as the top two social
barriers to their health and wellness in the year ahead.
To help seniors ease their financial burden, Alignment has
introduced plans that offer rich Medicare Part B premium rebates
through its smartHMO product line, expanding the plan’s service
area to include select markets in all six states. The smartHMO plan
is ideal for seniors who prefer simpler benefits and more money
back on their social security checks or Part B premium statement,
while still receiving robust coverage.
New enriched benefits for low-income seniors with
chronic conditions or disabilities
With 12.9 million people jointly enrolled in Medicare and
Medicaid, Alignment continues to invest in products that support
the unique needs of low-income seniors with disabilities or chronic
conditions. For qualified members in select Dual Special Needs
Plans (D-SNPs) in California, Florida, Nevada and North Carolina in
2024, Alignment is introducing a $500+ quarterly allowance for
“Essentials,” a new supplemental benefit for chronically ill
beneficiaries that includes groceries, gas, utilities and home
safety items.
For dually eligible seniors diagnosed with diabetes or a heart
condition, the new Heart & Diabetes Plus (HMO C-SNP) plans in
California, Arizona, and Texas provide 24/7 care coordination
support, including virtual clinical services and referral and case
management. Benefits include a $500+ quarterly allowance for OTC
and Essentials, and dental coverage.
Those who qualify for Medicare’s Low-Income Subsidy (LIS)
program and enroll in one of Alignment’s Value-Based Insurance
Design (VBID) plans – available in select markets in all six states
– will have a $0 copay for all covered Part D drugs in 2024.
More benefits, better access to reduce social
barriers
Alignment was among the first in the industry to pioneer the use
of a debit card for eligible grocery and OTC items at retailers
nationwide. Known as the ACCESS On-Demand Concierge card,
Alignment’s card also offers members of select plans an additional
benefit known as the “Flex Allowance” to purchase dental, vision,
hearing, chiropractic and acupuncture items and services –
including dentures and veneers to alternative therapies like
cupping – from both in- and out-of-network providers.
In 2024, Alignment will make it even easier and more convenient
for members to use their grocery and OTC benefits as it expands its
network of retailers participating in in-store shopping from 55,000
to 66,000 stores, along with additional online shopping options.
The company also will add podiatry to its Flex Allowance-covered
services, helping members avoid and treat foot and ankle problems
associated with aging.
For members with qualifying conditions, Alignment is extending
coverage of pest control and pet boarding, sitting and walking
services to all plans in 2024. In addition, popular benefits such
as free non-medical transportation, virtual fitness classes, meal
delivery after hospital stays, $300 yearly reimbursement for
caregiver support, and non-medical companionship will continue to
be offered in select plans.
All Alignment members have access to the company’s ACCESS
On-Demand Concierge, which is a dedicated concierge team available
24 hours a day, seven days a week, to answer health-related
questions, schedule medical appointments and arrange
transportation, and to the company’s Virtual Care Center, which
offers round-the-clock support from a virtual team of dedicated
advanced practice clinicians, licensed social workers, registered
nurses and care coordinators.
