1. Scripps No Longer Accepts Medicare Advantage Plans
The video above is going to have a lot of information that is no longer applicable in 2024. SCAN Advantage plans were very popular for Medicare Enrollees looking for access to Scripps. Now, there are fewer options that will offer access to Scripps. You can always select a Supplement plan, or you can look at this blog here for other ideas on how to visit Scripps hospitals while on an Advantage plan.
2. Multiple Plan Designs and Low Out of Pocket Spending
Although Scripps is no longer an option, SCAN still has many Advantage plan options to choose from. SCAN Advantage plans with access to UCSD will be popular in 2024. The Plus plan offers additional benefits beyond Original Medicare while also reducing the out of pocket costs a member will pay for medical services. Finally, SCAN has a Special Needs Plan called “Scripps Heart First” offering a great plan if you qualify.
Each of these plans have a great use case scenario depending on which network of doctors you wish to visit and how much treatment you are expecting to need each year. If you’d like help evaluating the difference in each SCAN plan, the HealthyMarks Medicare team has a great tool to help you understand which is best for you.

Scripps Network Types
The Scripps facilities are broken up into 3 distinct networks of doctors. Scripps has partnered with the very best doctors all throughout San Diego. This includes the top-rated physicians from more than 100 medical and surgical fields. These doctors have private offices in neighborhoods all over the county making it easy to find care near your home.
