From national plans such as Humana and Cigna to smaller regional ones like SCAN Health Plan, a large number of Medicare Advantage (MA) plans are set to expand their home- and community-based supplemental benefit offerings in 2020.
While details remain somewhat sparse, plans officially began announcing their 2020 offerings Monday, ahead of the upcoming annual election period, which runs Oct. 15 through Dec. 7.
The news is in line with projections the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released last month. Specifically, the Trump administration estimated that about 250 plans would offer newly allowed non-health related benefits in 2020, reaching about 1.2 million beneficiaries total.
