“Given the current economic situation, Medicare eligibles and their families are understandably concerned about getting the most value for their dollar,” said Jamie Moser, Medicare director for Altius Health Plans. “The Medicare Advantage plans from Altius offer a way to get coverage and service beyond what is offered by Original Medicare.”

“Our priorities are to help Medicare eligible beneficiaries be healthy, save money and be independent,” she added.

Altius Health Plans is also working with licensed insurance agents and brokers statewide to provide information to their clients.

“Our agents and brokers must pass a rigorous examination on Medicare and on our products before being allowed to promote our plans to beneficiaries,” noted Moser. “We want to be sure that Medicare beneficiaries get the information they want and need to help them make the right choice for them.”
