Medicare Part D covers outpatient prescription drugs, vaccines, and some supplies not covered by Medicare Part A or Medicare Part B or Medical Assistance. Our plan includes Medicare Part D.Medicare Part A: The Medicare program that covers most medically necessary hospital, skilled nursing facility, home health, and hospice care.
Medicare Part B: The Medicare program that covers services (such as lab tests, surgeries, and doctor visits) and supplies (such as wheelchairs and walkers) that are medically necessary to treat a disease or condition. Medicare Part B also covers many preventive and screening services.Medical Assistance: This is the name of Minnesota’s Medicaid program. Medical Assistance is run by the state and is paid for by the state and the federal government. It helps people with limited incomes and resources pay for long-term services and supports and medical costs.
It covers extra services and some drugs not covered by Medicare. Medicaid programs vary from state to state, but most health care costs are covered if you qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid.

South Country Health Alliance is committed to advancing health equity and reducing disparities that exist. Health equity is the state in which everyone has a fair and just opportunity to attain their highest level of health.

Our cross-functional Health Equity Committee developed our health equity strategic plan. This committee meets regularly to review our progress and discuss ways to continue to improve and advance our efforts even more.

As part of our health equity strategic plan, we focus our efforts on community engagement, member engagement, data, communications and being an inclusive organization.
