Medicare Advantage Information

Update:

Aetna Medicare Advantage and Premera Blue Cross Medicare Advantage are pulling out of the State of Washington.

Humana Medicare Advantage isn't pulling out of the State of Washington.  YFM will only be handling United Healthcare Medicare Advantage and straight Medicare.

This is as much as I know right now.

 Dear Seniors & Friends,

I went to see Dr. Talbot at Yelm Family Medicine Thursday.  When I went back in on Friday to be checked I received the notice below.  Humana and another Medicare Advantage Insurance company are pulling out of the State of Washington.  YFM will only be handling United Healthcare and straight Medicare.  They only found out about this change a couple of days ago.
