BlueCross BlueShield Health Options - (Florida Residents)

To enroll in this plan, you must obtain a special enrollment application directly from the health plan.

Health Options Medicare & More, backed by BlueCross BlueShield of Florida, is a federally-qualified HMO with a Medicare contract, available to NYC retirees who reside in Broward, Dade and Palm Beach counties.  Medicare & More provides comprehensive, preventive health care coverage, unlimited hospital and doctor care, home health care, skilled nursing facility care, lab tests, x-rays, periodic health assessments, and prescription drugs.

When you enroll in Medicare & More, you select a Primary Care Physician (PCP) from our contracting network of health care providers.  You can be assured that any care you receive is covered if it has been provided or arranged by your PCP and there are virtually no claims to file.  The PCP you choose will provide or arrange all of your routine health care, including referrals to Medicare & More specialists, when appropriate, and inpatient care at a Medicare & More hospital or skilled nursing facility, when necessary. Your PCP coordinates your health care to ensure that you get the care that is right for you and to assist you in getting the most from your Medicare & More coverage.  Should you need specialty care, your PCP will arrange it for you.

Except for emergencies anywhere and out-of-area urgent care, all care you receive must be obtained from the health care professionals and facilities in the Medicare & More provider network.
