Are you paying MORE but getting LESS
when it comes to your medical care?
Make This the Year You Take Back Control
If you’re like many Americans, the news on health insurance is frustrating.
Health care costs have been rising faster than incomes. Deductibles have more than doubled since 2003. Premiums are up 60%. Yet employers are asking you to cover an even bigger share of the total cost.1
W
hat’s it all mean? You may very well be paying more but actually getting
less for every health care dollar.

As a matter of fact, MEDIPLUS currently protects nearly 50,000 MOAA members and their families.
They’re taking back more control of their health care. Reining in costs and making sure they have the freedom to see the TRICARE-authorized doctors they want to see … when they want to see them.
YOU’RE IN CONTROL:

4 Cost-Shares – PAID. That includes doctor visits, covered Hospital stays, visits to specialists, outpatient surgeries and emergency room visits.
4 Covered Prescriptions – PAID. MEDIPLUS covers TRICARE pharmacy co-pays after any applicable deductibles.
4 Covered “Excess Charges” – PAID. MEDIPLUS helps insulate you from the financial impact of doctors and hospitals who don’t accept the TRICARE-allowed amount as payment in full by paying up to 15% above the TRICARE-allowed amount. Why is that so important? Because the TRICARE Catastrophic Cap doesn’t protect military families against excess charges.
