Medicaid is a program for persons with limited resources. It covers various sorts of medical care including prescriptions.

Medicare Part D covers prescription costs only, for persons over age 65. One does not have to be poor to qualify for Medicare Part D.

If one has a Medicare Advantage plan with New York Medicaid just added, how can the provider collect on the Medicaid portion when it is tied to an inactive Medicare Adv plan, not the current one?

When dealing with a Medicare Advantage (Medicare Adv) plan that has New York Medicaid recently added, and the Medicaid portion is linked to an inactive Medicare Adv plan, there are several steps to consider: Dual-eligible Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs): These are Medicare Advantage Plans specifically designed for individuals enrolled in Medicare and Medicaid. D-SNPs typically require using in-network providers for Medicare services, and these providers should also accept Medicaid. Cost-sharing varies among plans, and some may offer zero cost-sharing for enrollees. D-SNP enrolment is voluntary, and it’s essential to verify that Medicaid covers Medicare cost-sharing, such as deductibles and copayments. Medicaid Advantage Plus (MAP) Plans: For individuals with long-term care needs, MAP plans provide a “wrap-around” partial Medicaid benefit to enhance coordination between Medicare and Medicaid services. If you’re eligible, you can enroll by following these steps: Call 1-800-MEDICARE (633-4227) and enroll in the MAP plan’s Medicare product. You may be instructed to call the MAP insurer directly for further enrollment. Contact New York Medicaid Choice (the state’s managed care enrollment program) at 888-401-6582 to complete the Medicaid portion of enrollment into the MAP plan. Original Medicare + Medicaid: Some individuals may prefer Original Medicare coverage because it provides greater flexibility in choosing providers. In this case, you can combine Original Medicare with a Medicare Part D plan and fee-for-service (FFS) Medicaid. Additionally, consider a Medicaid managed long-term care (MLTC) plan if you have long-term care needs. Remember that each situation is unique, so it’s advisable to consult with a knowledgeable professional or contact your local Medicaid office for personalized guidance.

How does medicare's Part D payment structure differ for dual eligibles compared with that for medicare beneficiaries who do not qualify for dual eligibility?

Medicare's Part D payment structure for dual eligibles differs significantly from that of beneficiaries who do not qualify for dual eligibility. Dual eligibles, who are eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid, typically have their Part D premiums, deductibles, and cost-sharing covered by Medicaid, resulting in lower out-of-pocket costs. In contrast, non-dual beneficiaries are responsible for their Part D premiums and may face higher cost-sharing depending on their specific plan and income level. This means that dual eligibles generally experience greater financial assistance and reduced medication costs compared to their non-dual counterparts.
