Medicare Advantage Statistics Resource Initiated By Medicare Insurance Association
The Californer/10130653

LOS ANGELES - Californer -- Some 40 percent of Medicare beneficiaries will have selected Medicare Advantage plan coverage, one of the first industry statistics reported by the American Association for Medicare Supplement Insurance (AAMSI).

"While Medicare Supplement is in our name, there's clearly a growing interest in Medicare Advantage offers," states Jesse Slome, AAMSI's director.  "We are pleased to announce the initiation of an online resource page where consumers and others can easily find relevant statistics, information and resources."

Two initial findings posted by the Association reveal the existence of some 3,500 different Medicare Advantage (MA) plans nationwide.  Two million new enrollees are expected to sign up for this form of coverage, AAMSI reports.

"Increasingly people need to understand that Medicare has many different plan options and each has pros and cons," Slome notes.  "Our goal has always been to provide consumers with the best available information along with resources that can help then navigate through the process of finding their best plan and costs."
