Can Medicare Advantage plans offer extra health & wellness benefits?
In this Article…
Humana Medicare Advantage plans offer the same benefits as Original Medicare (Part A and Part B), but these plans also offer additional benefits such as routine dental, vision and hearing care as well. Most also include prescription drug coverage and more.
All Medicare Advantage (Medicare Part C) plans include the same benefits that are offered by Original Medicare (Part A and Part B). Certain Humana Medicare Advantage plans may also offer a wide range of additional benefits that Original Medicare doesn’t cover, for an affordable – and sometimes $0 – monthly plan premium.2
These additional benefits can include services and tools such as:
- Prescription drug coverage
- Routine dental coverage
- Routine vision coverage
- Routine hearing coverage
- Access to in-network mail-delivery pharmacies
- $0 telehealth copays for in-network primary care physician appointments over video or phone
- SilverSneakers® fitness programs
Humana Medicare Advantage plans may offer a number of these additional benefits. Your coverage will depend on which Humana Medicare Advantage plan you have.
If you are new to Medicare or believe you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period, you can get more information by calling a licensed insurance agent1 at 1-800-472-2986 TTY Users: 711 24 hours a day, seven days a week, or by requesting a no-cost plan quote online, with no obligation to enroll in a plan.
Do Humana Medicare Advantage plans offer prescription drug coverage?
Most Humana Medicare Advantage plans offer prescription drug coverage that is equal to or better than that of a stand-alone Medicare Part D (prescription drug) plan.
Members can choose from a wide range of in-network pharmacies and may even be able to have their prescriptions mailed right to their home.
Not all Humana Medicare Advantage plans offer prescription drug coverage, and benefits may vary from plan to plan. Humana will detail what medications are covered, the plan’s drug list (formulary), and how much it will cost to fill your prescriptions.
Do Humana Medicare Advantage plans offer routine dental coverage?
Yes. All 2026 Humana Medicare Advantage plans offer routine dental benefits not covered by Original Medicare. Your dental coverage depends on which Humana Medicare Advantage plan you have.
The additional benefits offered by Humana can include enhanced coverage for dental needs such as:
- Routine cleanings and exams
- Dental X-rays
- Fillings
- Tooth extractions
- Root canals
- Crowns
- Dentures
All Humana Medicare Advantage plans offer routine dental coverage. Dental benefits do vary from plan to plan. If you are enrolled in a Humana Medicare Advantage plan, your insurance provider will detail what dental services are included and what each service costs.
Do Humana Medicare Advantage plans cover routine vision care?
Yes. All 2026 Humana Medicare Advantage plans offer routine vision coverage.
Depending on your plan, vision benefits that may be offered can include:
- Routine vision tests
- Allowances for frames and contact lenses
- Enhanced benefits on some plans when using the services of Vision PLUS providers
If you are enrolled in a Humana Medicare Advantage plan, your insurance provider will detail what vision services are included and what each service costs.
SilverSneakers benefits are available with many plans
Humana has partnered with SilverSneakers® Fitness to give Medicare Advantage beneficiaries access to more than 22,000 fitness locations nationwide at no extra cost.
Some exceptions apply, and this benefit is not available on all Humana Medicare Advantage plans.
If your Humana Medicare Advantage plan includes SilverSneakers, your access to participating fitness locations can include:
- Access to cardio equipment and free weights
- Fitness classes led by certified instructors
- Social events that can allow you to connect with other members
SilverSneakers also offers at-home kits for members who want to start working out at home or for members who can’t get to a fitness location due to injury, illness or other reasons that keep them homebound. SilverSneakers also has programs available for those who may not have a SilverSneakers facility nearby.
Humana offers Care Managers to qualifying plan members
Some Humana Medicare Advantage plans may provide qualifying members with personalized care and support at home to help you recover from an injury or illness.
Depending on the plan, you may have access to professional caregivers who can help with:
- Self-care
- Meal prep
- Accessing home meal delivery and transportation services
The above coverage options are just a few of the additional benefits that certain Humana Medicare Advantage plans may be able to offer to qualifying members.
Again, it’s important to note that not all of these benefits are available with all Humana Medicare Advantage plans.
