COVERAGE & MEDICARE

Can I keep my doctor?
The plan has a considerable amount of doctors who qualify as in-network options. You can keep your doctor even if they are not in-network, but you will be responsible for out-of-network billing.
Is dental or vision covered?

No. The plan is for medical health care coverage only.

Are there any Medicare requirements?

Once a covered person is eligible for Medicare either by age or established criteria for Medicare eligibility a covered person is required to apply for, purchase and maintain Medicare Part A & B Benefits. If a covered person does not have the eligible quarters for Medicare Part A the covered person will need to provide a copy of the Notice of award letter to the Health Fund Office.
