Do you know if you qualify for Medicare Insurance?

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 six locations for your convenience. All of our locations accept Medicare insurance.

Medicare insurance and preventive care.

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.

Cost-efficient Quality Care and Medicare

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.

Resources Beyond the Usual

Bluestem Health provides our patients with resources and community events far beyond our typical 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 Medicare, 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.
