This represents almost 50% of all Medicare Advantage Plan users in Maryland, with plans termiating at the end of 2025. "While we don't like seeing people lose coverage, this presents a major opportunity for us to pick up a large portion of this business," said Palmiotto, further adding "We now have a much greater capbility to handle the call volume and enroll seniors in a new Advantage Plan for 2026."
