The iCare Family Care Partnership (HMO) is a Medicare Advantage Special Needs Plan with a Medicare contract that is fully integrated with the Wisconsin Medicaid Family Care Partnership Program. iCare also contracts with the Wisconsin Department of Health Services. You can join iCare Family Care Partnership Plan (HMO) if you are an adult with a physical or developmental disability or are over the age of 60; live in the service area; financially eligible for Wisconsin Medicaid; functionally eligible as determined by the State of Wisconsin Long-Term Care Functional Screen; and if you are eligible for Medicare you must be enrolled in all the parts of Medicare for which you are eligible (Part A, Part B, and/or Part D). You cannot have End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), with limited exceptions, such as if you develop ESRD when you are already a member of a plan that we offer, or you were a member of a different plan that was terminated. Please call the Milwaukee County Disabilities Resource Center (people under 60 years of age) at 414-289-6897 (TTY:414-289-8559) or the Aging Resource Center (ages 60 and over) at 414-289-6874 (TTY: 414-289-8591) to see if you are eligible. You must use network plan providers except in emergent or urgent care situations. If you obtain routine care from out-of-network providers, without first contacting your Team and getting prior authorization, neither Medicare, Wisconsin Medicaid or iCare Family Care Partnership (HMO) will pay for these services. You must use network pharmacies to access your prescription drug benefit, except under non-routine circumstances when you cannot reasonably use network pharmacies. Generally, benefits are only available at iCare-contracted network pharmacies. Benefits, formulary, pharmacy network, premium and/or copayments/co-insurance may change on January 1, 2011. Please contact iCare for details. Premiums, co-pays, co-insurance, and deductibles may vary based upon your level of Medicaid eligibility. Please call iCare for further details.
