Enskripsyon ouvri Medicare

Chak ane, benefisyè yo ta dwe revize kouvèti Medicare yo ak konpare plan yo pandan enskripsyon ouvè ki espesifye nan sezon otòn la.

Ou ka rantre nan yon nouvo Plan Medicare Advantage oswa yon plan pou medikaman sou preskripsyon Pati D, chanje soti nan Original Medicare nan yon Plan Medicare Advantage, oswa chanje soti nan yon Plan Medicare Advantage pou ale nan Original Medicare (avèk oswa san yon plan Pati D).

Ou ka jwenn yon plan Medigap tou (Sipleman Medicare) nan Maryland.

Ki jan yo revize yon plan Medicare

Poze tèt ou kesyon sa yo sou Plan Medicare Advantage ou a:

  • Konbyen prim yo ye chak mwa, si genyen?
  • Konbyen franchiz ak ko-asirans/kopeman pou sèvis mwen bezwen yo?
  • Ki pri chak ane soti nan pòch la?
  • Ki zòn sèvis plan an?
  • Èske doktè ak lopital mwen yo nan rezo a?
  • Ki règ mwen dwe swiv pou jwenn aksè nan sèvis swen sante ak medikaman sou preskripsyon mwen yo?
  • Èske plan an kouvri benefis swen sante adisyonèl ki pa kouvri pa Original Medicare?
  • Ki evalyasyon etwal plan an?
  • Èske plan sa a pral afekte pwoteksyon adisyonèl mwen genyen an?

Konpare plan ou a ak lòt moun, estime depans ki soti nan pòch yo epi gade sistèm zetwal la pou konprann evalyasyon plan an pou kalite ak pèfòmans.

Peryòd Enskripsyon Espesyal

Anplis enskripsyon ouvè, gen peryòd enskripsyon espesyal ki depann de sikonstans pèsonèl yo. W ap kalifye pou w enskri nan Medicare si:

  • Ou deplase.
  • Ou kalifye pou Medicaid.
  • Ou kalifye pou Èd Siplemantè ak depans medikaman Medicare.
  • W ap resevwa swen nan yon enstitisyon tankou yon etablisman enfimyè kalifye oswa lopital swen alontèm.
  • Ou vle chanje nan yon plan ak yon evalyasyon 5-zetwal jeneral kalite.
