ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sonder Health Plans, a Georgia-exclusive health plan providing personalized and affordable Medicare Advantage programs to residents, announces its expansion into eight additional Atlanta-area counties: Cherokee, Clayton, Coweta, Douglas, Fayette, Henry, Paulding and Rockdale. This move extends the health plan’s current membership base in Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton and Gwinnett to a total of 12 counties.
Experts predict Medicare Advantage will comprise more than half of Medicare enrollment in 2023. For Georgians—14% of whom qualify for Medicare—the most innovative and effective Medicare Advantage plans avoid a “cookie cutter” approach to health benefits. Instead, they identify and target the health conditions that put members most at risk and deploy innovative solutions for care and care management.
“We’re tremendously excited to improve access to care and lower costs for even more people with comprehensive benefits that include zero copays for insulin or for primary care or specialist visits,” says Michael Muchnicki, President and Chief Growth Officer, Sonder Health Plans. “We are Georgians serving Georgians and are improving the health and well-being of our neighbors in the greater Atlanta area.”
Sonder Health Plans is based and built in Atlanta, with a focus on going above and beyond in the service our Medicare Advantage members receive. Sonder Health Plans’ benefit designs are comprehensive and provide our Georgia seniors the benefits they want and need. Residents of Sonder’s 12-county coverage area qualify for enrollment if they are currently a Medicare beneficiary enrolled in Medicare Part A or B.
Sonder’s Medicare Advantage plan offers the following benefits for Atlanta-area residents:
- $0 copays for insulin
- $0 monthly plan premium
- $0 copays for PCP visits
- $0 copays for specialist visits
- $0 copays on ER visits
- 36 one-way transportation trips per year for doctor’s visits and more
- Vision and hearing benefits
- $3,500 in annual dental benefits, including dentures and implants
- A monthly grocery card
- A $400 quarterly over-the-counter medications benefit
- Access to a personal emergency response system
“The range of benefits that Sonder offers was designed with the unique health needs of Georgia residents in mind,” says Suzanna Roberts, CEO, Sonder Health Plans. “For instance, more than 1 million people in Georgia have diabetes, and another 234,000 people are diabetic but don’t know it. Meanwhile, the cost of insulin has increased 64% in recent years, to the point that many Georgians struggle to afford it. At Sonder, we take the stress out of caring for diabetes by offering insulin for free to our members and fully covering their physician visits as well. It’s just one way we’re caring for the total well-being of Georgian residents.”
