Network Providers and Your Primary Care Providers (PCP)
A “network provider” is a provider that participates in our plan. As a member of AlohaCare Advantage, you must use our plan providers except in emergent or urgent care situations. If you obtain routine care from out-of-network providers neither Medicare nor AlohaCare Advantage will be responsible for the costs.
As a member of AlohaCare Advantage you will choose your Primary Care Provider (PCP) within our network of providers. You must get your routine or basic care from your PCP. Your PCP will also coordinate the rest of the covered services you get as our member. For example, in order for you to see a specialist, you usually need to get your PCP's approval first; this is called getting a referral to a specialist.
General Exclusions and Limitations
There are some medical services, items and drugs that aren't covered (excluded) or are covered only under specific conditions (limitations) by our plan. If you get services, items or drugs that are not covered, you must pay for them yourself. AlohaCare Advantage won't pay for exclusions and neither will the Original Medicare Plan unless they are found upon appeal to be services, items or drugs that we should have paid or covered.
Low Income Subsidy or “Extra Help”
If you have limited income and resources, you may be able to get Extra Help. If you qualify for Extra Help, you get help paying for your monthly premium, yearly deductible, prescription coinsurance and copayments and experience no gap in coverage. Premiums include coverage for both medical services and prescription drug coverage. This does not include any Medicare Part B premium you may have to pay.
To see how much your premium would be if you qualified for Extra Help, look at the
