America’s largest retailer, Walmart, is adding Medicare health insurance plans to its plethora of in-store offerings -- just in time for the start of this year’s Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) for the federal program. “Walmart Insurance Services,” a licensed insurance brokerage, aims to build on its endeavors to “simplify what’s historically been a cumbersome, confusing process,” according to a press release.
The retail behemoth is making its Part D, Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement plans available through a handful of health insurers. Medicare Part D plans help cover the cost of prescription drugs.
Haven't looked into it further as yet, but being Walmart, they can probably negotiate some great prices with the providers. Might even actually save money for consumers.
