Medicare Plus Blue is a private-fee-for-service plan with a Medicare
contract and is available to all Medicare beneficiaries who are
Michigan residents entitled to Part A of Medicare and enrolled in
Part B. Premiums vary by county. You must continue to pay your Part
B premium. The Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug Benefit is
only available to members of the MA-PD plan.
A Medicare Advantage private fee-for-service plan works differently
than a Medicare supplement plan. Your doctor or hospital is not
required to agree to accept the plan's terms and conditions,
and thus may choose not to treat you, with the exception of
emergencies. If your doctor or hospital does not agree to accept
our payment terms and conditions, they may choose not to provide
health care services to you, except in emergencies. Providers
can find the plan's terms and conditions on our Web site at: bcbsm.com/ma.
You can also read more about how private fee-for-service plans work for you in our downloadable flyer (PDF 164K).
Medicare Plus Blue is issued by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan,
a nonprofit corporation and independent licensee of the Blue Cross
and Blue Shield Association. Medicare Plus Blue's contract with CMS is renewed annually and the availability of coverage beyond the end
of the current contract year is not guaranteed.
