Attention, patients! As we look ahead to 2025, it’s important to stay informed about your healthcare options, especially if you are enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan. At Burman & Zuckerbrod Ophthalmology Associates, we want to ensure that you have all the necessary information regarding upcoming changes to our network status.
What’s Changing?
Effective January 1, 2025, Burman & Zuckerbrod Ophthalmology Associates will no longer be part of the network for any Humana Medicare Advantage insurance plans. This means that if you currently have a Humana Medicare Advantage plan, you will need to explore other options for your ophthalmological care starting in the new year.
How Does This Affect You?
If you’re a current patient with a Humana Medicare Advantage plan, it’s essential to understand how this change will impact your care. You may have questions about continuity of care, access to specialists, and the financial implications of seeing out-of-network providers. Our staff is here to assist you in navigating these changes, ensuring you remain informed and well-prepared.
What Are Your Options?
There are several avenues to explore if you are considering a change to your Medicare Advantage plan or seeking alternatives for your ophthalmology care:
- Switching Plans: If you are dissatisfied with the changes in network status, you may want to consider switching to another Medicare Advantage plan that includes Burman & Zuckerbrod in its network. This could help maintain your access to our services without interruption.
- Medicare Original Plan: Another option is to switch to Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) and consider adding a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) policy. This combination may provide you with more flexibility when choosing healthcare providers, including specialists like us.
- Consulting Our Staff: We encourage you to speak with our knowledgeable staff about the specific implications of these changes. They can guide you through the options available, helping you make the best decision for your healthcare needs.
