Coverage Gap Stage Most Medicare drug plans have a coverage gap (also called the "donut hole"). This means that there's a temporary change in what you will pay for your drugs. The Coverage Gap Stage begins after the total yearly drug cost (including what our plan has paid and what you have paid) reaches $4,130. You stay in this stage until your year-to-date “out-of-pocket” costs reach a total of $6,550. BlueMedicare Classic (HMO)

During the Coverage Gap Stage:
You pay the same copays that you paid in the Initial Coverage Stage for drugs in Tier 1 (Preferred Generic), Tier 2 (Generic) and Tier 6 (Select Care Drugs) – or 25% of the cost, whichever is lower
For generic drugs in all other tiers, you pay 25% of the cost
For brand-name drugs, you pay 25% of the cost (plus a portion of the dispensing fee)
You pay the same copays that you paid in the Initial Coverage Stage for drugs in Tier 1 (Preferred Generic) and Tier 2 (Generic) – or 25% of the cost, whichever is lower
For generic drugs in all other tiers, you pay 25% of the cost
For brand-name drugs, you pay 25% of the cost (plus a portion of the dispensing fee)

for all other drugs in all tiers, or 5% of the cost.
Additional Drug Coverage Please call us or see the plan’s “Evidence of Coverage” on our website
(www.floridablue.com/medicare) for complete information about your costs for covered drugs. If you request and the plan approves a formulary exception, you will pay Tier 4 (Non-Preferred Drug) cost sharing.
Your cost-sharing may be different if you use a Long-Term Care pharmacy, a home infusion pharmacy, or an out-of-network pharmacy, or if you purchase a long-term supply (up to 90 days) of a drug.

Forms Used for Enrollment
1 Pre-Enrollment Checklist
This form provides important information you need to know before purchasing a plan.
2 Individual Enrollment Form
This is the form you complete to enroll in a Florida Blue Medicare Advantage plan.
3 Protected Health Information Authorization for Customer Service Inquiries
Complete this form if you need to give us permission to release your health information to someone. Send the original, not a photocopy, with your enrollment form. Otherwise, we will protect this information and release it only to you.
4 Scope of Sales Appointment (SOA) Confirmation Form
According to Medicare guidelines, agents can talk to you only about products you choose to discuss. Medicare asks you to complete an SOA form that shows which Medicare Advantage and/or Medicare Prescription Drug plans you wish to discuss. The form is intended to protect you. Completing the form does not mean you have enrolled in a plan. Your agent can complete this form with you by phone instead of using a paper copy.
5 Enrollment Verification Checklist
When you meet with an agent to enroll in a plan, the agent will look up how your plan covers medications that you take (including cost, tier and requirements/limitations). Your agent will also look up providers you use to see if they are in your network. Your agent will fill out this information on an enrollment verification checklist they provide and that you can take with you.

Pre-Enrollment Checklist
Before making an enrollment decision, it is important that you fully understand our benefits and rules. If you have any questions, you can call and speak to a customer service representative at 1-855-601-9465 (TTY: 1-800-955-8770).
Understanding the Benefits
Review the full list of benefits found in the Evidence of Coverage (EOC), especially for those services that you routinely receive from a doctor. Visit floridablue.com/medicare or call 1-855-601-9465 (TTY:1-800-955-8770) to view a copy of the EOC.
Review the provider directory (or ask your doctors) to make sure the doctors you see now are in the network. If they are not listed, it means you will likely have to select new doctors.
Review the pharmacy directory to make sure the pharmacy you use for prescription medicines is in the network. If the pharmacy is not listed, you will likely have to select a new pharmacy for your prescriptions.
Understanding Important Rules
In addition to your monthly plan premium, you must continue to pay your Medicare Part B premium. This premium is normally taken out of your Social Security check each month.
Benefits, premiums and/or copayments/co-insurance may change on January 1, 2022.
Except in emergency or urgent situations, we do not cover services provided by out-of-network providers (doctors who are not listed in the provider directory).

Please initial below beside the type of product(s) you want the agent to discuss.
Medicare Advantage Plans (Part C) and Cost Plans
Medicare Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) — A Medicare Advantage Plan that provides all Original Medicare Part A and Part B health coverage and sometimes covers Part D prescription drug coverage. In most HMOs, you can only get your care from doctors or hospitals in the plan’s network (except in emergencies).
Medicare Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) Plan — A Medicare Advantage Plan that provides all Original Medicare Part A and Part B health coverage and sometimes covers Part D prescription drug coverage. PPOs have network doctors and hospitals but you can also use out-of-network providers, usually at a higher cost.
Medicare Private Fee-For-Service (PFFS) Plan — A Medicare Advantage Plan in which you may go to any Medicare approved doctor, hospital and provider that accepts the plan’s payment, terms and conditions and agrees to treat you – not all providers will. If you join a PFFS Plan that has a network, you can see any of the network providers who have agreed to always treat plan members. You will usually pay more to see out-of-network providers.
Medicare Special Needs Plan (SNP) — A Medicare Advantage Plan that has a benefit package designed for people with special health care needs. Examples of the specific groups served include people who have both Medicare and Medicaid, people who reside in nursing homes, and people who have certain chronic medical conditions.
Medicare Medical Savings Account (MSA) Plan — MSA Plans combine a high deductible health plan with a bank account. The plan deposits money from Medicare into the account. You can use it to pay your medical expenses until your deductible is met.
Medicare Cost Plan — In a Medicare Cost Plan, you can go to providers both in and out of network. If you get services outside of the plan’s network, your Medicare-covered services will be paid for under Original Medicare but you will be responsible for Medicare coinsurance and deductibles.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services requires agents to document the scope of a marketing appointment prior to any face-to-face sales meeting to ensure understanding of what will be discussed between the agent and the Medicare beneficiary (or their authorized representative).

How to find out which doctors, hospitals and pharmacies are in your plan’s network:
Stay In-Network
Be sure to select a doctor in your network. Except for emergency care, urgent care and dialysis services, you must go to in-network doctors to be covered. This is true even when the care you receive is medically necessary. Avoid unpredictable costs and have peace of mind by staying in your network.
There are a few ways to find out which doctors, hospital and pharmacies are in a plan’s network. You can ask your agent for help, call Customer Service (see contact information on the Welcome page), or you can visit floridablue.com/medicare and follow these steps:

Choosing Your Primary Care Doctor Is Important
As a new member, one of your first—and most important—decisions is choosing a primary care doctor (PCP). Your PCP manages your overall health and coordinates specialized care and most covered services. Your PCP and any specialists you see work together as a team of professionals focused on you.
Florida Blue Medicare Plans give you preferred pharmacy options. As a Florida Blue member you can fill your prescription drugs at one of our preferred pharmacies to save even more on most prescriptions.
Our preferred pharmacy network includes:
Use a Preferred Pharmacy
Choose Generic or Lower-Tier Drugs
Reduce the amount you pay at the pharmacy by choosing generic or lower-tier drugs. New generic drugs become available nearly every day. Most generics, and many drugs in lower-cost tiers, work just as well as the brand or drugs in a higher-cost tier. Check with your doctor and discuss what options are best for you.
You can find all covered drugs in the formulary, the list of drugs that your plan covers. It’s also called a drug list or medication guide. To see our formulary, visit floridablue.com/medicare.
