Medicare Advantage company Alignment Healthcare today announced the expansion of its award-winning health plans into Arizona in 2022, reaching nearly 1 million Medicare-eligible seniors in the region. This expansion will extend the company’s “senior-first” model to Arizona’s significant senior population. Pending regulatory approval, HMO and PPO options from Alignment Health Plan will be available for Medicare’s annual enrollment period beginning Oct. 15, 2021.
“The pandemic has highlighted the importance of coordinated care for the vulnerable senior population,” said Rajesh Shrestha, president, new markets and chief business officer, Alignment Healthcare. “Now, more than ever, it’s critical to make Alignment’s data-driven approach in delivering senior care that is high-touch and personalized available to more seniors. We are committed to bringing our proven model of care to seniors across the country and the expansion in Arizona is a step in the right direction.”
In October, Medicare-eligible seniors in Pima and Maricopa counties will be able to choose from Alignment’s HMO and PPO plans for coverage beginning Jan. 1, 2022; take advantage of popular Alignment benefits such as non-emergency transportation and virtual exercise classes; and leverage Alignment’s 24/7 ACCESS On-Demand Concierge service.
