Healthpilot's platform empowers Medicare-eligible individuals to make more informed choices about their health plan and pharmacy coverage needs.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Healthpilot, the AI-powered platform redefining the Medicare shopping experience, and Publix, one of the top 10 largest supermarket chains in the country, today announced Publix Pharmacy customers can now visit publix.com/medicare and use Healthpilot's comparison tool to review and compare all plans in which Publix Pharmacy is a preferred pharmacy and Healthpilot is affiliated.

With an average of 43 Medicare Advantage plans and 21 Part D standalone prescription drug plans to choose from, the comparison process can be complex. The foundation of the private Medicare marketplace operates on the assumption that Medicare beneficiaries will comparison shop to select the best Medicare plan for their individual needs and circumstances. However, according to a Kaiser Family Foundation study of Medicare data, 7 in 10 Seniors do not compare plans, leaving many underinsured and without adequate coverage when they need it most.

Healthpilot is an AI-powered platform that analyzes customers' unique needs and preferences, offering personalized Medicare plan recommendations based on each customer's preferred physician network, pharmacy, prescription drugs, socioeconomic factors and lifestyle needs.

"Making Healthpilot available to Publix Pharmacy customers reflects our commitment to provide broad access to our industry-leading AI-powered Medicare shopping platform," said Seth Teich, CEO of Healthpilot. "We benefit from bringing our platform to a wider audience of pharmacy customers that know and love Publix for their superior shopping experience. Customers benefit from having access to an AI-powered solution that helps them find the right Medicare plan for their unique needs."
