This plan does not provide additional Medicare prescription drug (Part-D) coverage. The WellCare Advance (HMO) has a monthly premium of $0.00 and has a in-network Maximum Out-of-Pocket limit of $4,500 (MOOP). This means that if you get sick or need a high cost procedure your co-pays are capped once you pay out of pocket $4,500 this can be a very nice safety net.
WellCare Advance (HMO) is a Local HMO *. With a health maintenance organization (HMO) you will be required to receive most of your health care from an in-network provider. Health maintenance organizations require that you select a primary care physician (PCP). Your PCP will serve as your personal doctor to provide all of your basic healthcare services. If you need special care for a physician specialist, your primary care physician will make the arrangements and tell you where you can go in the network. You will need your PCPs okay, called a referral. Without getting a referral or services received from out-of-network providers are not typically covered by the plan.
WellCare works with Medicare to give you significant coverage beyond Part A and Part B benefits. If you decide to sign up for WellCare Advance (HMO) you still retain Original Medicare. But you will get additional Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) coverage from WellCare and not Original Medicare. With Medicare Advantage your always covered for urgently needed and emergency care and you receive all of the benefits of Original Medicare from WellCare except hospice care. Original Medicare still provides you with hospice care even if you sign up for a Medicare Advantage Plan.
