Geisinger 65 Forward open to members 55+ in employer-sponsored plans
|
Geisinger’s innovative 65 Forward care model is now available to Geisinger Health Plan (GHP) members age 55 and older, giving your clients earlier access to care designed around healthy aging.
Longer appointments, same- or next-day visits, coordinated specialist referrals and care teams focused on prevention and chronic condition management are all in 1 convenient setting. Members also benefit from proactive screenings, wellness planning and a simplified care experience that prioritizes listening and time with their provider.
By allowing access beginning at age 55, Geisinger helps employer-sponsored plan members establish trusted relationships with their care team earlier. That supports better health outcomes before Medicare eligibility.
It’s another example of our commitment to delivering high-quality, age-friendly care that meets members where they are.
