Are my prescription drugs covered?
$0 Tier 1 generic drugs are available on most Univera Healthcare plans, including more than 50 frequently prescribed medications. To find out how your prescriptions are covered, check our comprehensive list of covered prescription drugs (also known as the “formulary”).
Is dental coverage included?
Yes! Most Univera Healthcare Medicare plans include preventive and comprehensive dental coverage. This benefit covers 100% of preventive dental services, like cleanings, x-rays, and bitewings, as well as select services like restorative care or major procedures up to a $1,000 annual allowance.
Select plans also offer a $250 flex card to use toward out-of-pocket dental, hearing, or vision expenses. Find your Medicare Plan to learn about the other benefits available to you, such as over-the-counter eyewear allowances.
When Can I Enroll In Medicare?
If you're turning 65, you can enroll in Medicare from the period that extends 3 months before to 3 months after the month of your 65th birthday. For example, if you turn 65 on July 4, you can enroll anytime between April 1 and October 31.
Watch our Medicare Minute Videos to learn more about initial enrollment and working past 65.
Once you’re enrolled in Medicare, you can change your Medicare coverage during the Annual Election Period from October 15 to December 7. If you enroll during AEP, your coverage will begin January 1st of the following year.
You may be able to join or switch plans under special circumstances that grant a Special Election Period. View our Medicare Advantage Timeline to learn more.
What does the Star Plan Rating mean?
Each year, Medicare plans earn ratings on a one-to-five scale, with one star representing poor performance and five stars representing the highest quality rating a health plan can earn. Star Ratings are released annually and are based on member satisfaction, plan details, and overall performance.
The Star Rating is based on information collected from actual members like you, clinicians, and Medicare’s comprehensive monitoring process. Our Star Rating is a testament to how hard we work to help support your health and wellness. Our preventive health screenings, dedicated Medicare-only customer service department, and numerous health and wellness programs are just some ways in which we go above and beyond.
- Affordable plans including $0 premium plans and vision coverage without copays and NEW optional upgrades for dental coverage.

- Extras like hearing aids, gym memberships, and no-cost preventive screenings
