for MOAA members and families under age 65 “I had major brain surgery with total cost exceeding $24,000.00. I kept waiting for the big bills to arrive.” hen COL Jerry Bowen had surgery, he and his wife, Connie, didn’t know what to expect from their MEDIPLUS® TRICARE Supplement coverage. Until then, they’d only used MEDIPLUS for routine medical expenses. The surgery went well. And when it was over, the Bowens waited for the bills to roll in. They weren’t sure how much of the $24,000.00 total they would have to pay themselves. “I wasn’t sure what to expect. I didn’t know what would be covered. We were pleasantly surprised.” The Bowens were pleased because after TRICARE and MEDIPLUS paid, they only had to pay a fraction of the cost out of their own pockets. “We paid $50 here or $100 there but overall, less than $1,000 and that included our $150 deductible.” MEDIPLUS took care of the Bowens when they needed it most. They didn’t have to worry. “ That gave me peace of mind so I could concentrate on getting well—not on how to pay the huge medical bills.” W COL Jerry Bowen Jonesboro, AR As an MOAA member, you can count on MEDIPLUS for your family, too.
