Everyone aims to make informed decisions after turning 65, particularly regarding healthcare and Medicare coverage. However, the available options can be overwhelming, even for the savviest seniors.

Patti Meyer, a Medicare sales manager with Select Health, simplifies this process by guiding you through selecting a Medicare plan and clearly explaining your options. 

Select Health, a growing nonprofit health plan, has been serving over one million members across Utah, Idaho, and Nevada for 40 years and expanded into Colorado in January 2024. 

As the insurance branch of Intermountain Health—a hospital system operating in these four states—Select Health leverages this partnership to deliver high-value care and superior service while supporting the health of their members and their communities.

“We hope to enroll many more members in the future in this region,” said Meyer. “Our plans suit people that are still healthy and active, as well as those who are sick and those who have chronic conditions. We can meet people’s needs wherever they are.”

Select Health has earned widespread acclaim for its customer service and quality of care within the healthcare community. 

“We are a Five-Star Plan—one of the only ones in Colorado,” said Meyer. Just 3% of plans nationally are designated as such. 

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services award this honor based on excellence in member experience, plan performance, customer service, health management for those with chronic conditions and prescription drug ratings. 

As a regional carrier, Select Health’s proximity to area hospitals enables them to offer more personalized care to their members.

Meyer emphasized the close relationship between Select Health and UCHealth, including Memorial Hospital and Grandview Hospital. 

“We are a provider as well as a health plan, so we take our members’ care seriously,” Meyer said. 

Additionally, she highlighted their comprehensive approach to health, focusing on preventative and holistic care, with the overarching goal of helping individuals achieve their healthiest possible lives.

Select Health fulfills its mission by offering a wide range of benefits that cater to various aspects that address multiple facets of health. These include physical wellness, medical treatment, telehealth services and access to healthy food for eligible members. They also combat social isolation by offering transportation and companionship services. Furthermore, Select Health provides meals for post-hospitalization care along with dental, vision and hearing benefits.

 “I would have given this health plan to my grandfather if he were still alive because I only wanted the best for him!” she said. 

With significant changes coming to Medicare in 2025, it’s important to review your plan to ensure it’s right for you.
