MADISON, Wis., Jan. 05, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- One of Wisconsin’s most popular Medicare supplement insurance products is now available in seven new states. WPS Health Insurance—in some states doing business as The EPIC Life Insurance Company®, a wholly owned subsidiary of Wisconsin Physicians Service Insurance Corporation—has expanded into Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Nevada, North Dakota, South Dakota, and West Virginia for the 2023 plan year. This brings its footprint to a total of 22 states. The company is planning to expand into 24 more states over the next two years.
“Our Medicare supplement insurance is a great option for seniors who want freedom to see any doctor in any network and who value concierge customer service. We now offer plans in almost half the states across the country, and we’re thrilled to introduce WPS Medicare supplement insurance to even more beneficiaries in the years ahead,” said Thomas Spelsberg, Vice President of Medicare Market Solutions.
Medicare supplement insurance, also known as Medigap insurance, helps customers pay for costs left over after Medicare pays its share for covered medical services.
Spelsberg adds, “It is also a great option for agencies and agents, as we have a dedicated agent support team; we handle customer enrollments and education, which frees up agents to sell more; we offer extremely simplified underwriting; and we maintain a 96% annual member retention rate that enables agents to build a very profitable book of business with us.”
The plans will be available through select insurance agents and retiree exchanges in states outside Wisconsin. Medicare supplement insurance plans from WPS Health Insurance and The EPIC Life Insurance Company offer a variety of coverage options for Medicare beneficiaries plus special programs and services included at no additional cost. Most plans include fitness and wellness programs, and all plans come with vision and hearing programs, plus the option to purchase dental coverage.
