Introduction You have received this publication because you are “dual-eligible.” This means that you are eligible for health care coverage through Medicare and Florida Medicaid. You are enrolled in PHP (HMO SNP) for your Medicare medical (Part C) and prescription drug (Part D) coverage and have Florida Medicaid (fee-for-service) that covers certain health care services that Medicare does not. Florida Medicaid also covers some of the costs of your Medicare coverage such as Medicare Part B premium and deductible. You and/or Florida Medicaid must continue to pay your Medicare Part B premium to be eligible for PHP. Generally, PHP is the primary, or first, payer for your health care and prescription drugs. Florida Medicaid (fee-for-service) is the secondary, or second, payer. If PHP does not cover a service or has limitations on a service you need that you have exhausted, Florida Medicaid (fee-for-service) will usually cover that service. For example, PHP does not cover long-term care, however, Florida Medicaid (fee-for-service) does. Please refer to the table on the following pages for all Florida Medicaid-covered services. If you have any questions about covered services through PHP or Florida Medicaid, please call Member Services at (888) 456-4715, 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., seven days a week. TTY users call 711.

Covered Services by Payer The table on the following pages describes which services are covered by PHP and which are covered by Florida Medicaid (fee-for-service). For more information about benefits covered through PHP and their cost sharing and limitations, if any, see Chapter 4 in the 2014 Evidence of Coverage. Limitations shown in the Florida Medicaid (Fee-for-Service) column do not apply to children and pregnant women.

Coordination of Covered Services PHP coordinates the covered services provided to you by PHP. If you require services covered by Florida Medicaid (fee-for-service), your primary care provider or specialist will refer you to the appropriate participating Florida Medicaid provider and get authorization from Florida Medicaid for that service, if required.

Getting Covered Services from Network Providers PHP has its own provider networks. Florida Medicaid (fee-for-service) has participating providers who contract with Medicaid to provide services to Medicaid recipients. Most of the PHP providers accept Florida Medicaid (fee-for-service), but not all. If you need a referral for a service that is covered by Florida Medicaid (fee-for-service), your primary care provider will refer you to a participating Medicaid provider. For services you receive through PHP, you must generally receive your care from a network provider. In most cases, care you receive from a non-network provider (a provider who is not part of the PHP network) will not be covered. See Chapter 3 of your 2014 PHP Evidence of Coverage for more information.
