Becoming a MemberTo join Magellan Complete Care, you must have Medicaid benefits and a serious mental illness (SMI). Eligibility is managed by the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) at 866-76-ACCESS (866-762-2237). Membership begins on the first day of any calendar month once you are approved by the State.

You have the right to choose a health plan. If you don’t choose a health plan, the State will choose one for you.

EnrollmentIf you are a mandatory enrollee required to enroll in a plan, once you are enrolled in Magellan Complete Care or the state enrolls you in a health plan, you will have 90 days from the date of your first enrollment to try the Managed Care Plan. During the first 90 days, you can change plans for any reason. After the 90 days, if you are still eligible for Medicaid, you will be enrolled in the plan for the next nine months. This is called “lock-in.”

Open EnrollmentIf you are a mandatory enrollee, the State will send you a letter 60 days before the end of your enrollment year telling you that you can change plans if you want to. This is called “open enrollment.” You do not have to change Managed Care Plans. If you choose to change plans during open enrollment, you will begin in the new plan at the end of your current enrollment year. Whether you pick a new plan or stay in the same plan, you will be locked into that plan for the next 12 months. Every year you can change Managed Care Plans during your 60 day open enrollment period.

Some Medicaid recipients are voluntary enrollees and can change health plans whenever they choose, for any reason. For example, people who reside in residential community facilities operated through DJJ or mental health treatment facilities can change plans at any time for any reason. To find out if you may change plans, call the Enrollment Broker:

Pregnancy and Newborn EnrollmentGetting medical care during pregnancy is an important step in making sure that you and your baby are healthy. We will ask you if you are pregnant when you join the plan and you can call us at any time to let us know if you become pregnant. Magellan Complete Care would like to help you get the care you need during your pregnancy. You must call the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) to enroll your baby in Medicaid. They will provide you with your baby’s Medicaid number.

You may also call Medicaid Options for assistance in choosing a plan for your baby. Their toll free number is 1-888-367-6554 (TTY/TDD 1-800-653-9803).

If you are a mandatory enrollee and you want to change plans after the initial 90-day period ends or after your open enrollment period ends, you must have a state-approved, good cause reason to change plans. The following are state-approved cause reasons to change Managed Care Plans:

1. The enrollee moves out of the region, or the enrollee’s address is incorrect, and the enrollee does not live in a county where the Health Plan is authorized to provide services.

2. The provider is no longer with the Health Plan.

3. The enrollee is excluded from enrollment.

4. A substantiated marketing or community outreach violation has occurred.

5. The enrollee is prevented from participating in the development of his/her treatment plan.

6. The enrollee has an active relationship with a provider who is not on the Health Plan’s panel, but is on the panel of another health plan.

7. The enrollee is in the wrong health plan as determined by the Agency.

8. The Health Plan no longer participates in the region.

9. The state has imposed intermediate sanctions upon the Health Plan, as specified in 42 CFR 438.702(a) (3).

10. The enrollee needs related services to be performed concurrently, but not all related services are available within the Health Plan’s network, or the enrollee’s PCP has determined that receiving the services separately would subject the enrollee to unnecessary risk.

11. The Health Plan does not, because of moral or religious objections, cover the service you seek.

12. The enrollee missed open enrollment due to a temporary loss of eligibility.

13. Other reasons per 42 CFR 438.56 (d) (2), including, but not limited to, poor quality of care; lack of access to services covered under the contract; inordinate or inappropriate changes of PCPs; service access impairments due to significant changes in the geographic location of services; an unreasonable delay or denial of service; lack of access to providers experienced in dealing with the enrollee’s health care needs; or fraudulent enrollment.

14. To find out if you can change plans, call the State Medicaid Enrollment Broker, toll free: 1- 877-711- 3662.

Reinstatement ProcessKeeping your Medicaid benefits is critical. We do not want you to lose them. Here are a few things to remember:

• Contact your Enrollment Broker / Choice Counselors, toll free at 1-877-711-3662.

• Get your case status.

• Respond to all requested paperwork.

• Keep all scheduled appointments.

• If you miss an appointment, call and reschedule immediately. We can help you with transportation to your appointment, if needed.

If you lose your benefits, you can no longer be part of our plan. However, if you get your benefits back within 180 days, you will automatically be with Magellan Complete Care again. When you return, you will have the same PCP unless:

• The PCP is no longer available.

• You live in a different area.

• You choose another PCP.

How to Get ServicesSelecting a PCPYour primary care doctor (PCP) is your personal doctor who will manage all of your health care.

You have the right to choose any PCP that is part of Magellan Complete Care. We have many PCPs to choose from. Please refer to your provider directory, our website or call us at 1-800-327-8613. If you are hearing impaired, call our TTY number toll free at 1-800-424-1694. We can mail you a new provider directory if you need one. If you do not choose a PCP, Magellan Complete Care will choose one for you.

You may choose to have your whole family with the same PCP. You can choose a different PCP based on each family member’s needs.

A female member may choose an obstetrician/gynecologist (OB/GYN) as her PCP if the OB/GYN agrees to serve as the PCP. Please call us at 1-800-327-8613 or 1-800-424-1694 TTY only, if you would like to choose an OB/GYN as your PCP. We will work with you to choose a PCP for your baby before the baby is born.

The name and telephone number of your PCP can be found on:

• Your Welcome Letter.

• Provider Directory.

• Magellan Complete Care’s website at www.MCCofFL.com.

If you would like additional information about a doctor, like their professional qualifications, please call Customer Service. Professional qualifications include medical school attended, where your doctor did their residency after medical school, and board certification.

Changing a PCPIf you want to change your PCP, please call Customer Service toll free at 1-800-327-8613. If you are hearing impaired, call our TTY number toll free at 1-800-424-1694.

Access to Care/AppointmentYou deserve the right to care. Providers in our network must make an appointment:

• Right away, if an emergency.

• In one day, if Urgent Care.

• In one week, if routine Sick Patient Care.

• In one month, if Well Care Visit.

If Magellan Complete Care cannot give you a needed and covered service by a provider in our network, we will cover these services by an out-of network provider well and timely. The services will be covered as long as Magellan Complete Care does not have a provider in network to give you the services.

Don’t forget to bring your Member ID card to each visit.

Continuity of CareMagellan Complete Care will make sure that you keep getting the care your doctors give you today. For your first 60 calendar days with our plan, your doctor does not have to get an okay from us. Please call us if you have any questions or need any help with your appointments.

After the 60 days pass, if you wish to see a doctor that is not in the directory your PCP can contact us for an okay. We can also help you schedule a visit, tell your previous provider, and move your health records to your new provider. We can also help you with transportation to your appointment.

Referral and Approval for Specialty, Ancillary and Hospital CareIf you need to see a specialty doctor, you need an okay from your primary care doctor (PCP). Most other services need an okay from your primary care doctor (PCP) and Magellan Complete Care.

We have a team of nurses and behavioral health clinicians to review your doctor’s ask for an okay. They use notes from your doctor and a set of guides to decide if the service is medically necessary for you. Many health plans use the same guides. Call us at 1-800-327-8613 or 1-800-424-1694 TTY only, if you need more information. We can help you with getting a referral or if you want details on how we decide to okay your service. If we do not give your doctor an okay, we will send you and your doctor a letter and tell you how you can appeal.

Decisions for approved services are based on making sure the service is what you need and that it is a covered benefit. We do not reward or encourage staff to make decisions that result in less care than you need. We also do not reward doctors or others for issuing denials for services.

These services do not require prior approval:

• Emergency services and crisis stabilization.

• Post stabilization services or other post stabilization care.

• Some chiropractic services at a participating provider.

• Optometrist annual exam at a participating provider.

Your provider directory lists doctors and hospitals that are part of our network.

We will only give the okay to see a doctor that is out of network when the type of doctor you need is not available in the Magellan Complete Care network. Normally, we do not pay for out-of-network care except emergency care and family planning services.

You may be able to see a specialty doctor without getting an okay each time. This is a standing referral for when you have a long-term illness. Your PCP will contact us to arrange this.

Emergency ServicesEmergency ServicesAn emergency is when you have severe pain, illness, behavioral health crisis or injury that could result in danger to you or your unborn child. Call 911 right away. In an emergency, you have the right to choose any hospital or other medical setting. You do not need to get approval from your PCP or Magellan Complete Care for emergency care.

Behavioral Health EmergenciesFirst, decide if you are having a behavioral health emergency. Do you think that you are a danger to yourself or others? If so, call 911 or go the nearest emergency room for help if you think you are in danger. Follow these steps even if the emergency room is not in our service area. If you need help right away or have a behavioral health emergency outside the plan’s service area, call 911.

Please Let Us KnowOnce you are in a safe place, please let us know or ask someone to let us know by calling the number on your ID card. You should also call your Health Guide. We will call your PCP or regular behavioral health provider. For out-of-area emergency care, when you are stable, we will help with plans to move you to in-network care when possible.

Did you seek care for an emergency?If you go to the hospital for an emergency, you need to make sure you get care after the emergency event, called Post Stabilization services. This may help to keep you from having another behavioral health emergency. Post-Stabilization services are covered services you get after emergency room care within or outside the Provider Network. These are services delivered to keep your condition stable after an emergency. Post-stabilization care services are provided and covered without asking for an okay.

Once you leave the hospital:

• It is important to follow-up with your doctor within twenty-four (24) to forty-eight (48) hours.

• You should schedule a visit to see a behavioral health provider for follow-up care. We can help you make this appointment and schedule transportation, if needed. We recommend you get an appointment before you leave the hospital. Please call us 1-800-327-8613 or 1-800-424-1694 TTY only, if you need help making an appointment.

Living Wills and Advance DirectivesLiving Wills and Advanced Directives help you to choose about life support. If you are seriously ill and can no longer help yourself this document tells the doctors your wishes. If the policies and procedures of your provider or the facility do not support or conflict with your Advance Directives, Magellan Complete Care will help you change providers or move you to another facility. You will find copies of these forms on page 43 and 45.

Magellan Complete Care provides these policies and procedures to any member who is 18 and older. These policies describe:

• Your rights under state law, including the right to accept or refuse medical care and surgery and the right to formulate advanced directives [plans for the future of your care].

• Magellan Complete Care’s written policies providing more information regarding those rights, including information about limitations regarding how the advance directives [or plan] are executed.

• When advanced directive are not followed there are laws to protect you and you may file a complaint with AHCA.

• Your doctor can share more information about these documents. You can also call Customer Service toll free at 1-800-327-8613. If you are hearing impaired, call toll free at 1-800-424-1694 TTY.

The Patient’s Right to DecideEvery competent adult has the right to make decisions concerning his or her own health, including the right to choose or refuse medical treatment.

When a person becomes unable to make decisions due to a physical or mental change, such as being in a coma or developing dementia (like Alzheimer’s disease), they are considered incapacitated. To make sure that an incapacitated person’s decisions about health care will still be respected, the Florida legislature enacted legislation pertaining to health care advance directives (Chapter 765, Florida Statutes). The law recognizes the right of a competent adult to make an advance directive instructing his or her physician to provide, withhold, or withdraw life-prolonging procedures; to designate another individual to make treatment decisions if the person becomes unable to make his or her own decisions; and/or to indicate the desire to make an anatomical donation after death.

By law hospitals, nursing homes, home health agencies, hospices, and health maintenance organizations (HMOs) are required to provide their patients with written information, such as this pamphlet, concerning health care advance directives. The state rules that require this include 58A-2.0232, 59A-3.254, 59A-4.106, 59A-8.0245, and 59A-12.013, Florida Administrative Code.

Questions About Health Care Advance DirectivesWhat is an advance directive?

It is a written or oral statement about how you want medical decisions made should you not be able to make them yourself and/or it can express your wish to make an anatomical donation after death. Some people make advance directives when they are diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. Others put their wishes into writing while they are healthy, often as part of their estate planning.

Three types of advance directives are:

• A Living Will

• A Health Care Surrogate Designation

• An Anatomical Donation

You might choose to complete one, two, or all three of these forms. This pamphlet provides information to help you decide what will best serve your needs.

What is a living will?

It is a written or oral statement of the kind of medical care you want or do not want if you become unable to make your own decisions. It is called a living will because it takes effect while you are still living. You may wish to speak to your health care provider or attorney to be certain you have completed the living will in a way that your wishes will be understood.

What is a health care surrogate designation?

It is a document naming another person as your representative to make medical decisions for you if you are unable to make them yourself. You can include instructions about any treatment you want or do not want, similar to a living will. You can also designate an alternate surrogate.

Which is best?

Depending on your individual needs you may wish to complete any one or a combination of the three types of advance directives.

What is an anatomical donation?

It is a document that indicates your wish to donate, at death, all or part of your body. This can be an organ and tissue donation to persons in need, or donation of your body for training of health care workers. You can indicate your choice to be an organ donor by designating it on your driver’s license or state identification card (at your nearest driver’s license office), signing a uniform donor form (seen elsewhere in this pamphlet), or expressing your wish in a living will.

Am I required to have an advance directive under Florida law?

No, there is no legal requirement to complete an advance directive. However, if you have not made an advance directive, decisions about your health care or an anatomical donation may be made for you by a court-appointed guardian, your wife or husband, your adult child, your parent, your adult sibling, an adult relative, or a close friend.

The person making decisions for you may or may not be aware of your wishes. When you make an advance directive, and discuss it with the significant people in your life, it will better assure that your wishes will be carried out the way you want.

33

Must an attorney prepare the advance directive?

No, the procedures are simple and do not require an attorney, though you may choose to consult one.

However, an advance directive, whether it is a written document or an oral statement, needs to be witnessed by two individuals. At least one of the witnesses cannot be a spouse or a blood relative.

Where can I find advance directive forms?

Florida law provides a sample of each of the following forms: a living will, a health care surrogate, and an anatomical donation. Elsewhere in this pamphlet we have included sample forms as well as resources where you can find more information and other types of advance directive forms.

Can I change my mind after I write an advance directive?

Yes, you may change or cancel an advance directive at any time. Any changes should be written, signed and dated. However, you can also change an advance directive by oral statement; physical destruction of the advance directive; or by writing a new advance directive.

If your driver’s license or state identification card indicates you are an organ donor, but you no longer want this designation, contact the nearest driver’s license office to cancel the donor designation and a new license or card will be issued to you.

What if I have filled out an advance directive in another state and need treatment in Florida?

An advance directive completed in another state, as described in that state’s law, can be honored in Florida.

What should I do with my advance directive if I choose to have one?

• If you designate a health care surrogate and an alternate surrogate be sure to ask them if they agree to take this responsibility, discuss how you would like matters handled, and give them a copy of the document.

• Make sure that your health care provider, attorney, and the significant persons in your life know that you have an advance directive and where it is located. You also may want to give them a copy.

• Set up a file where you can keep a copy of your advance directive (and other important paperwork). Some people keep original papers in a bank safety deposit box. If you do, you may want to keep copies at your house or information concerning the location of your safety deposit box.

• Keep a card or note in your purse or wallet that states that you have an advance directive and where it is located.

• If you change your advance directive, make sure your health care provider, attorney and the significant persons in your life have the latest copy.

If you have questions about your advance directive you may want to discuss these with your health care provider, attorney, or the significant persons in your life.

More Information on Health Care Advance DirectivesBefore making a decision about advance directives, you might want to consider additional options and other sources of information, including the following:

• As an alternative to a health care surrogate, or in addition to, you might want to designate a durable power of attorney. Through a written document, you can name another person to act on your behalf. It is similar to a health care surrogate, but the person can be designated to perform a variety of activities (financial, legal, medical, etc.). You can consult an attorney for further information or read Chapter 709, Florida Statutes.

• If you choose someone as your durable power of attorney be sure to ask the person if he or she will agree to take this responsibility, discuss how you would like matters handled, and give the person a copy of the document.

• If you are terminally ill (or if you have a loved one who is in a persistent vegetative state) you may want to consider having a pre-hospital Do Not Resuscitate Order (DNRO). A DNRO identifies people who do not wish to be resuscitated from respiratory or cardiac arrest. The pre-hospital DNRO is a specific yellow form available from the Florida Department of Health (DOH). Your attorney, health care provider, or an ambulance service may also have copies available for your use. You, or your legal representative, and your physician sign the DNRO form. More information is available on the DOH website, www.doh.state.fl.us or www.MyFlorida.com (type DNRO in these website search engines) or call 850-245-4440.

• When you are admitted to a hospital the pre-hospital DNRO may be used during your hospital stay or the hospital may have its own form and procedure for documenting a Do Not Resuscitate Order.

• If a person chooses to donate, after death, his or her body for medical training and research the donation will be coordinated by the Anatomical Board of the State of Florida. You, or your survivors, must arrange with a local funeral home, and pay, for a preliminary embalming and transportation of the body to the Anatomical Board located in Gainesville, Florida. After being used for medical education or research, the body will ordinarily be cremated. The remains will be returned to the loved ones, if requested at the time of donation, or the Anatomical Board will spread the remains over the Gulf of Mexico. For further information, contact the Anatomical Board of the State of Florida at 800-628-2594 or www.med.ufl.edu/anatbd.

• If you would like to learn more on organ and tissue donation, please visit the Joshua Abbott Organ and Tissue Donor Registry at www.DonateLifeFlorida.org where you can become organ, tissue and eye donors online. If you have further questions about organ and tissue donation you may want to talk to your health care provider.
