Welcome to UCare for Seniors 
If you are looking for affordable health coverage – coverage that provides more than you expect from a Medicare plan – you’ve found it.

With UCare for Seniors, you get the coverage you need, including preventive care, hospitalization, out-of-area care, and UCan!SM UCare Activity Network, our member fitness program. And depending on the option you choose, you'll have no co-payment for primary care office visits, and coverage for prescription drugs, prescription eye glasses, even preventive dental care. You’ll have the freedom to choose from one of the largest networks of doctors in the area. We even take care of most of the paperwork for you. What could be easier than that?

But the best thing about UCare for Seniors is the price. We’ve worked hard to make it one of the best overall values available to Medicare beneficiaries.

Is UCare for Seniors right for you? Compare 2009 plans today or attend a meeting to learn what more than 45,000 members across Minnesota and western Wisconsin already know. UCare for Seniors gives you more from your Medicare plan. You can even print out an enrollment form. If you have other questions, our UCare for Seniors representatives are ready to help.

Our Group UCare for Seniors plan offers great benefits to the retirees of more than 60 Minnesota employers.

UCare Minnesota and UCare Wisconsin, Inc. are Medicare Advantage organizations with Medicare contracts. These contracts are renewed annually. The availability of coverage beyond the end of the current contract year is not guaranteed. Beneficiaries must continue to pay Medicare Part B premiums if not otherwise paid for under Medicaid or by another third party. Members must use network providers for routine care except for emergency care, out-of-area renal dialysis/urgent care, (and in-area urgent care when the UCare for Seniors network is temporarily unavailable), and Point-of-Service benefits. Members may enroll in a plan only during specific times of the year. Anyone entitled to Medicare benefits under Part A and enrolled in Part B and residing in the UCare for Seniors service area may apply. Limitations and restrictions may apply to benefits.

 
 
 

The UCare for Seniors Medicare prescription drug benefit is only available to members of UCare for Seniors Value Plus and Classic Plans. If you are already enrolled in a Medicare Advantage Plan with Medicare prescription drug coverage, you must receive your prescription drug coverage through that plan. In general, Part D benefits are only available at contracted retail, mail order, LTC, I/T/U, and Home Infusion pharmacies (under emergency circumstances, benefits may be otained out-of network). Contact UCare for network pharmacy information at 1-877-523-1518 (TTY 1-800-688-2534) or write to P.O. Box 52, Minneapolis, MN 55440.
