The 9 Best Ways Your Plan Helps You Save in 2024

1) $0 to see your doctor.

Seeing your primary care provider (PCP) for a general appointment has a $0 copay. This helps make it easier for you to see your PCP if you need to. (Access PPO members pay $50 out of network.)

See PCP visit details in your Evidence of Coverage (EOC) booklet.

2) A quarterly allowance for over-the-counter (OTC) items.

Preferred HMO members receive $67 per calendar quarter (or $268 per year) and Access PPO members receive $65 per calendar quarter (or $260 per year) to spend at participating retailers and plan-approved online stores on Medicare-approved health-related items including toothbrushes, aspirin, allergy relief, adhesive bandages, sunscreen, and more.¹

¹Quarterly OTC credit is for the purchase of Medicare-approved OTC items from participating retailers and plan-approved online stores. Unused balance at the end of a calendar quarter does not roll over. Under certain circumstances, items may be covered under your Medicare Part B or Part D benefit.
²The plan is administered by Dominion Dental Services, Inc., which operates under the trade name Dominion National. Benefit limits apply. A member may choose to receive treatment from a non-participating dentist. Cost shares for out-of-network benefits, if applicable, are based on procedure classification. Benefits are calculated using a Maximum Allowable Charge (MAC). Members are responsible for any amount charged which exceeds the MAC per procedure. Billing arrangements are between the member and the non-participating dentist. If a member receives treatment from a non-participating dentist, the member may be required to make payment in full at the time of service. The member may then submit a claim to the Plan for benefit payment. Please refer to your Evidence of Coverage for more information.
³Dental services covered under the Flex Advantage spending card are limited to non-cosmetic, non-Medicare covered dental procedures. Coverage is up to the annual benefit limit, and the member is responsible for all costs above this amount. Unused balance at the end of the year does not roll over. Please refer to your Evidence of Coverage for more information.
⁴Discounts and services included in the Extras program are not plan benefits and are not subject to the Medicare appeals process.
⁵For details, see your 2024 Evidence of Coverage (EOC), available at carepartnersct.com/documents. Hearing aids and $0 hearing aid evaluation must be with a Hearing Care Solutions provider. Benefit does not cover cost of mold and tubing.
