What is a PFFS Plan? A PFFS plan is a type of Medicare Advantage plan offered by a private insurance company like Universal Health Insurance Company. It is not the same as the Original Medicare plan that is offered by the Federal Government. It is not a Medicare supplement, Medigap, Medicare Select, or Prescription Drug Plan.
5
PFFS Plan Options PFFS Plan options available to beneficiaries may include: PFFS plan offering only medical benefits; PFFS plan that combines medical benefits and Part D prescription drug benefits (MA- PD plan); or PFFS plan in combination with a stand- alone Part D prescription drug plan (PDP).
6
PFFS Plan - Eligibility Beneficiaries must be enrolled in Part A and Part B. Beneficiary must live in the PFFS plan’s service area. PFFS plans must enroll any eligible beneficiary who applies regardless of health status, except Beneficiaries with end stage renal disease are not eligible to enroll unless special rules are met.
7
PFFS Plans - Premiums Beneficiaries must continue to pay their Part B premiums to remain eligible to join a PFFS plan. Generally, beneficiaries pay a monthly premium for a PFFS plan in addition to their monthly Part B premium. If the PFFS plan includes a Part D benefit, low income beneficiaries may be eligible for extra help from Medicare that covers all or part of the part D portion of the PFFS plan premium. Beneficiaries should be encouraged to apply by contacting the Social Security Administration (SSA) at 1-800-772-1213 or applying online at www.ssa.gov/prescriptionhelp
8
PFFS Plan - Providers Enrollees may receive covered services from any provider who participates in Medicare and agrees to accept the plan’s terms and conditions of payment. Enrollees must inform providers before receiving services that they are PFFS plan members so that the providers can decide whether to accept the plan’s terms and conditions. Providers may, on a patient-by-patient and visit-by visit basis, decide whether to treat the beneficiary. Some providers that accept Original Medicare may not accept PFFS plan enrollees.
9
PFFS Plan – Providers (cont’d) PFFS Plans generally pay providers the same amount Medicare would pay them. Providers are not permitted to charge the beneficiary more than the cost sharing specified in the PFFS plan’s benefits. Cost sharing may include a deductible and copayments or coinsurance. Cost sharing may include balance billing up to 15% of Medicare rate.
10
PFFS Plans and Dual Eligible Beneficiaries Unique PFFS plan issues exist for Medicare/Medicaid eligible (dual eligible) beneficiaries. Categories of dual eligible beneficiaries and out-of-pocket costs that must be paid by Medicaid: QMB (only) (Qualified Medicare Beneficiary) – Medicare Part B Premium; cost sharing for Part A & B benefits. QMB Plus – Medicare Part B premium; cost sharing for Part A & B benefits; coordinates Medicaid benefits with Medicare. SLMB(only) (Specified Low-Income Medicare Beneficiary) – Medicare Part B premium. SLMB Plus – Medicare Part B premium; coordinates Medicaid benefits with Medicare. QI (Qualifying Individual) – Medicare Part B premium. Other FBDE (Full Benefit Dual Eligible) – Coordinates Medicaid benefits with Medicare. QDWI (Qualified Disabled and Working Individual) – Part A premium.
11
PFFS Plans and Dual Eligible Beneficiaries (cont’d) Key issues that are important to dual eligible beneficiaries considering PFFS plan enrollment include: Whether the beneficiary is eligible for medical benefits under Medicaid. Medicaid may provide additional benefits, but Medicaid will coordinate benefits only with Medicaid participating providers. How cost sharing will be different under the PFFS plan compared to Medicaid benefits. What is the cost sharing under the PFFS plan benefits? Medicaid will pay cost sharing assistance only for services provided from Medicaid participating providers. Whether the beneficiary will need help to find providers who accept both Medicare and Medicaid.
12
How Does a PFFS Plan Work? The PFFS plan pays instead of Medicare. The beneficiary will pay amounts that the PFFS plan does not pay, which are called copayments and coinsurance. A PFFS plan does not pay after Medicare pays its share. Original Medicare will not pay for the beneficiary’s health care while enrolled in a PFFS plan.
13
How Do You Obtain Services from a PFFS Plan? You may receive health care services from any provider allowed to bill Medicare who agrees to accept the Private Fee-for-service plan’s payment terms and conditions. You must use network pharmacies to obtain prescription drugs, except in emergencies or urgent situations.
14
Before Seeing a Provider, You Should … Verify that your provider will accept the Any, Any, Any Plan. Your health care providers have the right to choose whether to accept a Private Fee-for-service plan’s payment terms and conditions every time you see your providers. If your provider decides not to accept the plan, you will need to find another provider that will. They should not provide services to you, except in an emergency. If they choose to provide services, they may not bill you. They must bill the Private Fee-for-service plan for your covered health services. You must pay the appropriate copayments and coinsurance.
15
When You Go to the Doctor or Hospital Show your Any, Any, Any Plan ID card and tell them that you have chosen Any, Any, Any for your Medicare health plan. Do not show your red, white, and blue Medicare card. Pay the Any, Any, Any copayments or coinsurance at the time of service.
