Medicare Resources
Poplar Bluff Regional Medical Center Medicare Resources
Medicare patients often ask us if we prefer one form of Medicare insurance over another. While we do gladly accept many Medicare Advantage plans, our hospital considers traditional Medicare, in conjunction with a Medicare Supplement insurance policy, to be the preferred choice of Medicare coverage for our patients. Patients often find they have more flexibility to travel and seek care from providers or facilities who may not participate in a given managed care network. In addition, the administrative expenses associated with traditional Medicare and Medicare Supplement policies are much lower than other plans.
To speak with a licensed insurance agent, call the toll-free Medicare Helpline 1-855-583-2003: TTY 711 (M-F 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. CT).

Call the helpline toll-free at 855-583-2003, TTY 711 (M-F 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. CT) to schedule a Medicare Orientation telephone presentation. Become familiar with your Medicare benefits, ask questions and learn about your Medicare insurance options.
We understand how complex and confusing Medicare can be. There are so many different types of Medicare insurance available, and health care providers do not accept all forms of Medicare insurance. For these reasons, our hospital recommends the services of our Medicare Insurance Helpline.
