Genesis HealthCare System will be out of network for Anthem Medicare Advantage and Humana Medicare Advantage Plans in 2024

Wednesday, October 18, 2023

Press Release

Sessions are being held to assist patients in choosing alternative plans.

Genesis HealthCare System announced today that it will not accept Anthem Medicare Advantage or Humana Medicare Advantage plans in 2024. This means the entire Genesis HealthCare System, including Genesis Hospital, Genesis Coshocton Medical Center, Genesis Perry County and Genesis Medical Group Physicians will not be in-network with the Anthem or Humana Medicare Advantage plans.

“We simply cannot accept the Anthem Medicare Advantage or Humana Medicare Advantage Plans for 2024,” said Mathew Perry, President and CEO of Genesis HealthCare System. “If you are a current participant in Anthem or Humana Medicare, it is important to consider other choices during open enrollment, which is taking place now. As you review your options, we invite you to consider other health plans that Genesis HealthCare System accepts.”

Once a year, all Medicare Advantage (MA) Plan members have the opportunity to choose coverage and make sure their doctors and hospital are in-network providers for the upcoming year. It’s called the Medicare Annual Election Period (AEP) – and it’s Oct. 15-Dec. 7, 2023.

There are two ways for patients to seek assistance in evaluating which MA plan is right for them.

1. Working with an insurance broker to select a plan is one of the best ways. They can help evaluate the patient’s choice to find a plan that meets their unique needs. There is no cost for this service.

2. Genesis will hold sessions that include an Ohio Senior Health Insurance Information Program (OSHIIP) representative to provide information and help you make a choice:
