Appeals & Grievances
65C Plus (Cost) has a contract with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
(CMS), the government agency that runs the Medicare program. This contract renews
each year. At the end of each year, the contract is reviewed, and either 65C Plus
(Cost) or CMS can decide to end it. It is possible for our contract to end at some
other time during the year, too. If the contract should end, HMSA will provide advance
notice to all 65C Plus (Cost) members.
- Benefits, premiums, and copayments may change on Jan. 1, 2013.
- Limitations, copayments, and restrictions may apply.
- If you use a non-network provider without an approved referral from a network provider,
the non-network provider will submit your claim for processing to Medicare first.
Medicare will apply the annual Part B deductible before it pays for any services.
Once Medicare processes your claim, submit the Medicare Summary Notice to HMSA for
processing your plan benefits. The Medicare Part B deductible must be met first
before HMSA will apply our plan benefits. You pay the non-network provider for any
amount not covered by Medicare and our plan. The Plans RTM, also called the EOB,
explains your financial liability. The Part B deductible is waived for a pelvic
exam, Pap smear collection, PSA test, and mammography screening.
- The benefit information provided herein is a brief summary, not a comprehensive
description of benefits. For more information, contact the plan.
