Medicare

Florida Health Care Plans, an MA Organization with a Medicare Contract, has been providing medical and prescription coverage to Medicare eligible beneficiaries since 1981.

With the introduction of Medicare Part D in January 2006, FHCP offers various options for a Medicare beneficiary to enroll in. For more information on each of these options please see the information listed in our Medicare section for each of the following plan choices:

  • FHCP’s Medvantage Plan — This plan was designed to offer all medical services that are covered by Original Medicare. In addition, FHCP also provides coverage for additional benefits. This plan does not offer the Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit.
  • FHCP’s Medvantage Rx Plan — This plan provides all of the same medical benefits as the Medvantage program. In addition, the Medvantage Rx Plan offers the Medicare prescription drug benefit similar to the Medicare Part D Standard benefit.
  • FHCP’s Medvantage Rx Plus Plan (available plan for State of Florida retirees) — This plan provides all of the same medical benefits as the Medvantage program. In addition, the Medvantage Rx Plus plan offers a Medicare prescription drug benefit which enhances the benefits of the Medicare Part D Standard benefit.

In order to provide Medicare—eligible beneficiaries with more choice, FHCP offers an Optional Supplemental Point of Service benefit. This Optional Supplemental POS benefit can be added to any one of the three plans mentioned above for an additional monthly premium.

The Optional Supplemental POS benefit allows a Medicare—eligible beneficiary to see any physician or utilize facilities that are not in FHCP’s network of providers without a referral. Please note that, when deciding to go to an out—of—network physician or facility, the POS benefit is LIMITED TO PROVIDERS THAT ACCEPT MEDICARE ASSIGNMENT ONLY.

In addition, FHCP offers a Preferred Fitness Program for our Medicare members. The benefits of this program include full service fitness club membership, an annual personal health analysis (optional), and an overall fitness evaluation.
