If you enroll during the Annual Enrollment Period (10/15-12/7), then your plan ID card is typically delivered by mid-December. If you enroll outside of that window, you should expect your ID card in 7-10 business days. You can also access your ID card through your carrier’s online portal. Find instructions on how to access the online portal and your digital ID card in the welcome letter from your carrier or by visiting your carrier’s website. If you need help, give us a call at 1-855-456-3980 (TTY 771) If your plan is already active and you have not received your card, please call us: 1-855-456-3980 (TTY 771)

General Medicare Advantage Plan Questions

There are important differences between Medicare Advantage plans and Original Medicare. We’ll help you understand how to access the services you need.

Your plan covers, at minimum, all the preventive services that are included under Original Medicare and may offer more. Refer to your Summary of Benefits for a complete list.

Contact your healthcare provider’s office to schedule an appointment or vaccination. If you need help, you can also call our Member Services team: 1-855-456-3980 (TTY 771).

For HMO plans, you will need a referral from your Primary Care Provider to see a specialist. Some specialists may request a referral regardless of plan type. Contact the specialist’s office to confirm.

Plan carriers offer online member portals or apps for plan management. Visit your carrier’s website for details. Contact our Member Services team if you need assistance: 1-855-456-3980 (TTY 771).

Check your plan’s Summary of Benefits for travel coverage details.

Typically, benefits are restricted to a specific service area.

In emergencies, you are covered anywhere in the U.S.

A VCC form is a Verification of Chronic Condition. Your carrier will require you to complete this form if you enroll in a Chronic Condition Special Needs Plan (C-SNP), a type of Medicare Advantage plan designed for people with a specific chronic condition. You and your doctor must both complete the VCC within 60 days of enrollment. Otherwise, your chronic condition plan will be terminated. If you aren’t sure whether you enrolled in a chronic condition plan, check your plan documentation, contact your plan carrier, or call our Member Services team for assistance: 1-855-456-3980 (TTY 771).
