If you’ve been a SCAN member for a few years, you know how it works: Every year, your benefits change somewhat on January 1. The Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) you receive in September outlines what’s new or different for the coming year. Of course, your SCAN plan includes much more than what’s listed in the ANOC—and more than we can include here. Here are just a few things to look for in your SCAN plan for 2023.
NEW:
Nurse Advice Line
Health advice is just a phone call away! This new benefit lets you speak with a registered nurse at any time, day or night. There is no cost for these calls. Available in every SCAN plan.
BETTER:
Vision Benefit
You’ll want to check your ANOC for this! In many plans, we changed the vision allowance to renew every year rather than every two years. Yep, that means new glasses (or contacts) every year. Available in some SCAN plans.
ALWAYS POPULAR:
Mail-order Medications
Use Express Scripts® Pharmacy to get Preferred pharmacy pricing on home-delivered medications. It’s easy to get started: Call Express Scripts at 1-877-842-9792. Available in every SCAN plan.
Fitness Membership
Are you taking advantage of your fitness membership? Not only do you get free gym memberships, but you’ll find virtual classes, on-demand workouts and more. Available in most SCAN plans.
HEALTHtech
This 24/7 tech-support hotline is used for health-related needs. Available in every SCAN plan.
• Members in Southern California continue to have HEALTHtech+—the hotline, plus some in-home tech setup, too!
Chiropractic and Acupuncture
For 2023, we reduced the copay and/or increased the number of visits in many plans. If you use these benefits now, check to see what may be different come January. Available in some SCAN plans.
Hearing Aids
We work with the experts at TruHearing to offer you affordable, fixed-cost hearing aids. Your cost will stay the same in 2023! Call TruHearing directly to schedule an appointment. Available in every SCAN plan.
About Dental
Did you know that Original Medicare does not cover dental care unless it’s needed for a medical reason? Yet, good dental health is an important part of your overall health. That’s why we work with Delta Dental to provide dental coverage to our members.
Many SCAN plans include dental care, while others give you the option to add coverage for a monthly premium amount.
Your coverage will fall into one of these categories, depending on your SCAN plan:
• No dental included; option to add coverage with a dental HMO
• Preventive dental HMO coverage included; option to add more dental HMO coverage
• Comprehensive dental HMO coverage included; no additional options available
• Comprehensive dental HMO coverage included; plus, new for 2023, an option to add coverage with a dental PPO
