Please review this information prior to enrolling in any of the HealthPartners Medicare plans:
In general, members may enroll in Medicare plans only during specific times of the year. Note: This rule doesn't apply to HealthParters® MSHO (HMO SNP). For more information, refer to the plan's Evidence of Coverage or call Member Services.
Members of a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan must use network pharmacies to access their prescription drug benefit, except for non-routine circumstances where they cannot use network pharmacies. For more information, consult your plan's pharmacy directory or review the out-of-network information. You can also call Member Services if you have questions.
Plans agree to stay in the program for one full year at a time. Each year, the plans decide whether to continue for another year. If a plan leaves the program, it must send you a letter at least 90 days before your coverage would end to explain your options for Medicare coverage in your area.
For HealthPartners® Freedom Plan (Cost) enrollees only:
Once your enrollment in this plan is effective, all services must be obtained through the plan's network in order to receive the full coverage offered. The exceptions to this are emergency and urgently needed care services. If you receive services outside of the Freedom plan network, you will be responsible for payment of all Original Medicare deductibles and coinsurance, as well as any additional charges as prescribed by the Medicare program. You will also be liable for any charges not covered by the Medicare program.
Medicare beneficiaries may be enrolled in only one Part D plan at a time. All Medicare beneficiaries can apply to enroll in the 1876 Cost plan.
If you have questions on any of this information, please contact Medicare Sales prior to enrolling in the plan.
