New Asuris Pledge Medigap Plans available this month


This month, we are adding four new Medigap products (also known as Medicare supplements) to our product portfolio:

  • Asuris Pledge Plan A
  • Asuris Pledge Plan C
  • Asuris Pledge Plan F
  • Asuris Pledge Plan K


These products provide Medicare beneficiaries with benefits that Original Medicare doesn't cover, and include the following changes from the Medicare Improvement for Patients and Providers Act (MIPPA):

  • Hospice care is now a core benefit.
  • At home recovery and preventive care benefits have been removed from Medigap coverage because they are now covered under Original Medicare.


Administrative highlights:

  • Provider Customer Service phone number: 1 (888) 320-9413
  • Provider networks: Members can see any provider who accepts Medicare
  • Claims: Same Claim Voucher used for your Asuris EmbarkSM, VantageSM, MotivateSM and HSA Healthplan 2.0SM patients
