YCHP will offer basic benefits package with expanded benefits and reduced copayments. Its primary focus will be rural areas and may expand from its present boundaries. The Choices project now has a total of eight participating plans, with 10 other candidate plans being evaluated. Enrollment in the new programs became possible on March 1. I believe giving seniors more choices is critical when we talk about the future of Medicare.
Choice leads to lower cost, high quality care.
This pilot project is another step in that direction.
