Wellmark Blue Cross Blue Shield announced plans to offer Medicare Advantage options to Iowa and South Dakota residents during the annual enrollment period this fall.
The products, which will be offered to Medicare beneficiaries through the payer's new affiliate Wellmark Advantage Health Plan, have been submitted for approval by CMS, according to a June 8 news release.
"We are confident the new Medicare Advantage options will complement Wellmark's existing Medicare product offerings to provide consumers with solutions that best meet their needs," the company's Medicare Advantage vice president, Jason Humphrey, said in the statement. "We look forward to sharing more details later this year pending final approval by CMS."
