Note Important Information for Dual-eligible Benefit Coordination

Participating healthcare practitioners who provide medical services to patients with Humana Medicare Advantage (including Value Plus Plan) coverage – some of whom may have dual eligibility – need to be aware of the following information about benefit coordination:

• Medicaid may cover costs and services not covered under the Medicare plan.
• Dual-eligible patients should provide both their Humana ID card and a state-issued Medicaid card.
• For these cost-share-protected patients, physicians and other healthcare providers should submit medical claims to the address on the back of the member ID card for payment of Medicare-covered services.
• For physicians and other healthcare providers who are contracted with Medicaid, any remaining cost must be submitted to Medicaid for review and payment consideration.
• These patients are not responsible for plan-covered:
  • Copayments
  • Coinsurance
  • Deductibles
  • Part B drugs
• Any additional cost share for Part A and B services must be submitted to the Medicaid payer.
• The amount paid by Humana and Medicaid must be accepted as full payment due to the cost-share protection.
• Patients who are cost-share protected may not be balance-billed.
