There are several Medicare health insurance options. Our patient support specialists at Bluestem Health can answer any Medicare questions that you may have. We want you to know that we value our Medicare patients and we have five locations for you to choose from. All of them accept Medicare insurance.
Bluestem Health providers follow a “health home” model of care and our Medicare patients will benefit greatly from this model. What is a health home? It is not a physical space; it is a group of healthcare and service providers working together to make sure our Medicare patients get the care and services needed to stay healthy. Our approach is to integrate and coordinate all primary and acute care, chronic disease management, behavioral health, and long-term services and support as we treat the whole person.
Our priority at Bluestem Health is to keep our patients healthy, so we place a significant emphasis on preventive healthcare. Medicare Part B covers many screenings so you can always be on top of your health.
According to medicare.gov, the following screenings are covered by Medicare:

We understand that your health needs are unique and that you may require a variety of services throughout your lifetime. At Bluestem Health, we involve you as we develop your plan of care. We know how difficult and stressful it can be to navigate Medicare and the healthcare system. We make every effort to ensure you are connected to a multidisciplinary team of experienced and dedicated healthcare providers, mental health and substance abuse providers, along with needed medications, social services, and other community programs that can support and assist you.
As a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), we use the highest standards in the care we provide to anyone in our community. Bluestem Health works diligently to offer its services cost-efficiently so that healthcare is affordable for our patients.
There are five locations in Lincoln where our patients can access the care they need and use their Medicare insurance:
Bluestem Health provides our patients with resources and community events far beyond healthcare services. We have a dedicated team that will work with you to find additional community services, including assistance in applying for resources such as Medicaid, SNAP, ADC, and Open Enrollment through the Health Insurance Exchange. A partnership with Legal Aid of Nebraska connects patients with legal assistance.
To serve Lincoln’s diverse population, we also employ a staff of interpreters that provide in-person interpretation services rather than communicating over the phone, which can dramatically improve a patient’s experience during their healthcare visit. In addition to English, our interpreters are fluent in Spanish, Arabic, Kurdish, Karen, Burmese, Vietnamese, and American Sign Language.
Bluestem Health is here to help you with your Medicare questions and to connect you with a provider that will give you the best possible care. Connect with us at (402) 476-1455.
Shane Ludwig, Bluestem Health’s COO since 2014, has been developing a skilled and dedicated team as his role and Bluestem Health has grown.
We make it easy for patients to pay with our Online Bill Pay. Not only is it fast and convenient, but your payment is securely processed directly into your account every night.
At Bluestem Health, we believe everyone deserves access to high-quality healthcare, regardless of their financial circumstances. That’s why we offer a range of financial assistance options, including sliding scale fees, Medicaid, Medicare, and the 340B Pharmacy Program, to help our patients afford the care they need to stay healthy.
