Missouri Medicare
Some of the carriers we represent in the state of Missouri are United of Omaha, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Humana.
As of 2009, the total number of Missouri Medicare recipients was approximately 361,308: 16% of the total population. The traditional Medicare program was modified in 2006 by the Medicare Moderation Act. As a result, the elderly were then able to receive coverage for prescription drugs along with conventional Medicare coverage.
