With Medicare annual enrollment just around the corner (Oct 15 - Dec 7), many newly eligible individuals may find themselves overwhelmed by the myriad options available to them. Brand New Day, a Medicare Advantage health plan that operates throughout 12 California counties, has an experienced team to help sift through the various benefit options.
Brand New Day is the Medicare product name of Universal Care, Inc., a company founded by the Davis family in 1983. Brand New Day has developed a strong network of doctors, hospitals, healthcare specialists and pharmacies in 12 counties. Executive Vice President Jay B. Davis says that Brand New Day helps Medicare recipients gain access to programs and services beyond what standard Medicare does.
“We take pride that many of our plans are available without premiums or copayments for primary care doctor visits,” said Davis. “For qualifying members, the plan covers transportation to and from medical appointments; vision, dental and acupuncture services; 24-hour/day nurse and physician line; and health and life coaches.”
In addition, Brand New Day offers the Embrace Plan for those with heart disease, hypertension and/or diabetes, Bridges for dementia and Alzheimer’s patients and Harmony for those disabled by mental illness including major depression, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder and paranoid disorder.
Those with chronic illnesses are not only treated medically, but in a variety of other ways including:
· Education about the member’s chronic or ongoing medical conditions and avoidable risks
· Nutrition
· Exercise
· Self-testing and monitoring
· Medication adherence to doctor orders
· Preventive care planning
· Linkage to community support programs
“We have moved beyond simply treating members’ medical needs by offering proactive and preventive healthcare as well,” said Davis.
Davis says that Brand New Day sponsors regular community health events open to the general public…not just members. One they are currently working on is the Four Pillars Program. Developed by Wayne Dysinger, MD, MPH, a leader in lifestyle medicine and Chairman of the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine, Four Pillars is designed to help members embrace a healthier lifestyle to help them combat diabetes and hypertension. It involves tips on proper diet, gentle exercise, managing stress and socializing.
