Is an Accendo Medicare Supplement Plan Right for Me?

Is an Accendo Medicare Supplement Plan Right for Me?

You may have heard of Accendo, a new, shiny name in the Medicare Supplement world. Instead of spending hours digging through the depths of Google, Senior Allies is a one-stop shop to give you a full Accendo Insurance review.

What Is Accendo?

Accendo Insurance Company is an affiliate of Aetna that hit the ground running in 2020. However, Accendo is its own entity in the context of its products. Their affiliation just means that they are backed by the trusted household name of Aetna.

Because Medicare Supplement plans fill in the gaps in your current Medicare coverage, it is important to get the best possible rates to maximize savings.  

Accendo offers Medicare Supplement A, F, G and N plans with varying amounts of coverage. Each plan differs from basic benefits to more comprehensive coverage based on your specific needs.

This new player in the Medicare Supplement game is known for their competitive rates and consistency, backed by industry giants Aetna and CVS Health.

Are Medicare Supplements More Affordable Through Accendo?

The greatest selling point for Accendo Medicare Supplement coverage is their whopping 14% household discount on premiums in states that they cover. This is higher than any other company. And their already competitive premium prices mean that, depending on your situation, a plan from Accendo could be a steal.  

To qualify for the Accendo household discount, you must live with an individual who:  

  • Has a policy with Accendo already, or
  • Has a policy with Aetna, while you have a policy with Accendo  

Better yet, if you try an Accendo Medicare Supplement plan and don’t love it, you can return your policy for any reason within 30 days after receipt and receive a full refund of all premiums paid.

Accendo Medicare Supplement plans get a 5-star rating for affordability. If you struggle to pay your premiums, an Accendo Medicare Supplement plan might be right for you. You may even qualify for their household discount.

Additionally, your policy is guaranteed renewable. You don’t need to worry about reduced benefits or canceled coverage for the entire lifetime of the policy, as long as premiums are paid on time. Your rates won’t change in the first 12 months of your policy, either!  

If you struggle with shifts from your policy, it might be time to talk about giving an Accendo Medicare Supplement plan a try.  

However, your specific needs will always affect what plan is best for you.  

If you would like to discuss a Medicare Supplement plan with Accendo, give one of our trusted agents a call to get a specific look at your best option.  

How Do I Know if I Am Eligible for an Accendo Medigap Plan?

The best way to know if you are eligible for any Medigap coverage would be to contact an agent at Senior Allies.  

Accendo is available in many states, so don’t forget to keep that in mind when comparing options in your ZIP code.  

Because every situation is different, checking in with an expert is always recommended before you make any changes to your coverage.

However, if you are wondering if your doctor will be covered by an Accendo Medigap plan, you should know that Accendo prioritizes freedom to choose your own doctors. This means that if your physician or specialist accepts Medicare patients at all, you will be able to access care there without any pre-approvals.  

Does Accendo Offer Dental or Vision Coverage?

Because Accendo offers Medicare Supplement coverage, it does not cover vision or dental.

Medicare in general doesn’t cover any dental costs except for specific dental procedures that would occur in a hospital. If you’re interested in a Medicare add-on that includes dental and vision, check out a Medicare Advantage plan.  You can also purchase a separate insurance plan that covers vision and dental.

Conclusion

It’s always exciting when a new name shows up in the Medicare Supplement world. However, if you think that Accendo may be the right choice for you, check with a professional to analyze your options.
