Independent Care Health Plan (iCare) is a Health plan
with a Medicare contract. Eligible Medicare beneficiaries with physical,
developmental or emotional disabilities must: live in the iCare
service area; receive full Medicaid benefits, including assistance with
Medicare premiums for Medicare Part A and B; have Medicare Parts A and B
(and continue paying the Medicare Part B Premium if not otherwise paid for
under Medicaid or by another third party); and, not have End-Stage Renal
Disease to qualify. Benefit limitations, co-payments and other restrictions
may apply. The Medicare Part D Prescription Drug benefit is only available
to members of the iCare Medicare Plan. If you are already enrolled in
a Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug Plan, you must receive your Medicare
Prescription Drug benefit through that plan until your iCare Medicare
Plan coverage begins. Members must use network pharmacies and plan providers
for routine care. If you obtain routine care from out-of-plan providers
neither Medicare nor iCare will be responsible for the costs. iCare’s
contract with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is
renewed on a yearly basis and benefit coverage beyond the end of the current
contract year is not guaranteed. Benefits, formulary, pharmacy, network
premium and/or copayments/co-insurance may change on January 1, 2008. Please
contact iCare for details. Documents can be made available in
alternative formats such as Braille, certain foreign languages, audio tapes
and large print.
