Medicare Disclaimers
Medicare Advantage Plans are an HMO, PPO and POS plan with a Medicare contract. Enrollment in Medicare Advantage Plans depends on contract renewal.
Benefits, formulary, pharmacy network, premium and/or copayments/coinsurance may change on January 1 of each year.
In general, beneficiaries must use network pharmacies to access their prescription drug benefit, except in non-routine circumstances. Quantity limitations and restrictions may apply.
For HMO Plans
You must use plan providers except in emergency or urgent care situations or for out-of-area renal dialysis or other services. If you obtain routine care from out-of-network providers, neither Medicare nor Health Alliance Medicare will be responsible for the costs.
For PPO Plans
It may cost more to get care from out-of-network providers, except in emergency and urgent care situations.
Stand-Alone Prescription Drug Coverage

Medicare evaluates plans based on a 5-Star rating system. Star Ratings are calculated each year and may change from one year to the next.
A Private Fee-for-Service plan is not a Medicare supplement plan. Providers who do not contract with our plan are not required to see you except in an emergency.
Dual Eligible SNP: This plan is available to anyone who has both Medical Assistance from the State and Medicare. Premiums, co-pays, co-insurance, and deductibles may vary based on the level of Extra Help you receive. Please contact the plan for further details.
MSA Plans combine a high deductible Medicare Advantage Plan and a trust or custodial savings account (as defined and/or approved by the IRS). The plan deposits money from Medicare into the account. You can use this money to pay for your health care costs, but only Medicare-covered expenses count toward your deductible. The amount deposited is usually less than your deductible amount, so you generally have to pay out-of-pocket before your coverage begins.
Medicare MSA Plans don’t cover prescription drugs. If you join a Medicare MSA Plan, you can also join any separate Medicare Prescription Drug Plan.
There are additional restrictions to join an MSA plan, and enrollment is generally for a full calendar year unless you meet certain exceptions. Those who disenroll during the calendar year will owe a portion of the account deposit back to the plan. Contact the plan provider for additional information.
Medicare beneficiaries may also enroll through the CMS Medicare Online Enrollment Center located at www.medicare.gov.
