2026 Plan Year: Member Benefits


Dental Benefit


All Peoples Health Medicare Advantage plans include coverage for preventive dental services, including oral exams and cleanings. Most plans also cover comprehensive care, such as fillings and dentures. Some other plans offer comprehensive care only through an optional Platinum Dental Rider for a monthly premium.

Fitness Benefit


Renew Active® by UnitedHealthcare® is a fitness program for body and mind to help you stay active, focused and connected either at a gym or from home, at no additional cost.

Over-the-Counter (OTC) Benefit


Most Peoples Health plans offer an over-the-counter (OTC) items benefit, which varies by plan. If your plan has the benefit, you get a specified credit amount to spend on approved items.

Part B Give Back


If you pay a Medicare Part B premium, we may pay part of that premium for you. We call this a Part B premium Give Back, or a Part B premium-reduction benefit.

Part D Prescription Drug Coverage


With most Peoples Health plans, you don’t have to pay for a separate prescription plan because Part D drug coverage is included.

Passport Benefit


Most Peoples Health plans include UnitedHealth Passport®. If you’re out of your plan’s service area, you can use UnitedHealth Passport to get care at network costs.

Respite Benefit


Most Peoples Health plans cover up to 12 respite care sessions per year for members with dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, and each session can last up to eight hours. Services are provided in the member’s home or another household in Louisiana.

Transportation Benefit


Peoples Health dual-eligible special needs plans offer a routine transportation benefit. Members pay $0 for transportation to and from network doctor offices, pharmacies and other plan-approved locations within 75 miles of the home. 

Vision Benefit


All Peoples Health plans offer a vision benefit for medical vision care, as well as a routine vision care benefit that includes coverage for routine eye exams and eyewear for vision correction.
