KelseyCare Advantage Essential

Loading...

EssentialThis plan provides the medical benefits of Medicare Part A (your hospital coverage) and Medicare Part B (your medical coverage), but does not provide prescription drug coverage. This plan may be right for you if you have prescription drug coverage through another source such as TRICARE, federal employee health benefits coverage, VA benefits, State pharmaceutical assistance programs or private insurance, such as employer-sponsored drug coverage. If you have prescription drug coverage through a former employer, you may want to contact the employer to be sure your drug coverage won’t be interrupted by enrolling in KelseyCare Advantage.

  Description
Plan Summary The KelseyCare Advantage Essential plan works well for Medicare beneficiaries that need comprehensive coverage and low out of pocket expenses for their hospital and medical benefits, but don’t need prescription drug coverage. This plan also offers coverage for routine vision, routine hearing and medical transportation.
Eligibility
  • Be eligible for Medicare Part A and enrolled in Part B,
  • Continue to pay Part B premiums,
  • Live in the plan service area, and
  • Not have end-stage renal disease (permanent kidney failure).
Premium There is no monthly plan premium to enroll in the Essential plan. The Essential plan includes a Part B premium reduction of up to $30 per month. If Medicaid is paying your Part B premium, however, you will not get the Part B premium reduction offered by the plan.  You must maintain your Medicare Part B coverage to be a member of the Essential plan. Most people will pay the standard premium amount, which is $99.90 in 2012. Please call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 for information about your Part B premium. Additionally, as a member of the Essential plan, KelseyCare Advantage will contribute $30.00 toward the cost of your Medicare Part B premium each month.
Doctor and Hospital Choice KelseyCare Advantage Essential has formed a network of doctors, specialists and hospitals. You can only use doctors who are part of our network. The health providers in our network can change at any time. A referral may be required to access some network doctors. If you choose to go to a doctor outside of our network, you must pay for these services yourself. Neither KelseyCare Advantage Essential nor the Original Medicare plan will pay for these services.
