Gundersen Lutheran Health Plan offers a Medicare Advantage product called Senior Preferred. Senior Preferred is available to eligible Medicare beneficiaries who live in the Gundersen Lutheran Health Plan Senior Preferred
service area. It is different from a typical Medicare supplement plan. If you choose Senior Preferred, you’ll no longer need a separate plan to fill the gaps in Medicare coverage.
Senior Preferred is available in four plan options, to meet your needs. Coverage varies between the four plans, but includes everything original Medicare covers, plus more. To learn more about the plan options, please refer to the documents below.
