This plan helps limit your out-of-pocket expenses by covering many costs that Original Medicare doesn t cover. Introducing the UnitedHealthcare Senior Supplement Plan. Medicare doesn t cover everything. In fact, Medicare only covers about 80% of your expenses. The rest is up to you. Senior Supplement plans are medical plans that help pay for some or all of the costs Medicare Parts A and B don t cover like copays and deductibles. They also offer broad access to doctors, specialists and hospitals, whether you are at home or traveling in the United States. Unlike Medicare Advantage plans, Senior Supplement plans work with Original Medicare (Parts A and B). With a Senior Supplement plan, eligible Part A and Part B benefits are first paid by Original Medicare and then the Senior Supplement plan provides coverage for the remaining balance. Coverage for your prescription drugs. In addition to your medical coverage, your plan sponsor has selected the UnitedHealthcare MedicareRx for Groups (PDP) plan for your prescription drug coverage.
