“Selecting healthcare coverage is a very personal and important decision, which is why we’ve carefully designed our array of HMO and PPO benefit plans based on what members have told us is important to them,” said Wendy Karsten, CEO of Care N’ Care. “For more than a decade, Medicare recipients in North Texas have been trusting us to provide the affordable, accessible and member-friendly care that allows them to live life to its fullest. Our 2019 benefit packages are all about providing seniors with the healthy advantage they need to enjoy this special time in their life.”
