The CarePlus’ Medicare Advantage HMO benefit plans let you choose your own Primary Care Provider from an extensive list of physicians. Together, you and your doctor coordinate all of your care. You even have the option to change your Primary Care Provider at any time. Your Primary Care Provider, called a PCP, is your partner in health and will send you to specialists or hospitals when you need specialized care. Individuals are eligible to elect a CarePlus' Medicare Advantage HMO plan if they are entitled to Medicare Part A and enrolled in Part B. Individuals must be entitled to Medicare Part A and Part B benefits as of the effective date of coverage under the plan. You must continue to pay your Medicare Part B premium. Eligible beneficiaries must use network pharmacies to access their prescription drug benefits. CarePlus only cover drugs filled at an out-of-network pharmacy in limited, non-routine circumstances when a network pharmacy is not available. Limitations, copayments, and restrictions may apply.

Some of the benefits that CarePlus Medicare Advantage HMO plans can provide you include:
  • $0 monthly plan premiums
  • Inpatient Hospitalization coverage
  • Worldwide coverage for Emergency care
  • Prescription drug coverage
  • Fitness & exercise classes
  • Value added services
You must use plan providers except in emergency or urgent care situations or for out-of-area renal dialysis or other services. You must receive all routine care from plan providers. If you obtain routine care from an out-of-network provider, neither Medicare nor CarePlus Health Plans, Inc. will be responsible for the costs. Limitations, copayments and restrictions may apply.
