tried two but had an allergic reaction to them. Only the third drug works
for him and it is not on his Part D plan's formulary. What could you tell him
to do >>> Mr. Zachow has a right to request a formulary exception

would like to be able to visit one or two doctors who aren't participating
providers. He wants to know if the Point of Service (POS) option available
with some HMOs will be of any help in this situation. What should you tell
him >>> The POS option might be a good solution for him as it will
allow him to visit out-of-network providers, generally without prior
approval. However, he should be aware that it
is likely he will have to pay higher cost-sharing for services from out-
of-network providers.
3. Mr. Barker had surgery recently and expected that he would have
certain services and items covered by the plan with minimal out-of-pocket
costs be- cause his MA-PD coverage has been very good. However, when

maximum out-of-pocket limit that included a number of services and items
he thought would be fully covered. He called you to ask what he could do?

appeal process to help him ask the plan to review the coverage
decision.

prescription drug plan that they sign up for independent of their
enrollment in the SNP.

some do not.

various methods to control the use of specific drugs. She has heard about
a technique called "step therapy" and is wondering if you can explain
what that is. What should you tell her >>>Step therapy involves using
one or more lower priced drugs before trying a more expensive drug
when all are used to treat the same condition.
7. Mr. Gomez notes that a Private Fee-for-Service (PFFS) plan available
in his area has an attractive premium. He wants to know if he must use
doctors
in a network as his current HMO plan requires him to do. What should you

allowed to bill Medicare, as long as he shows the doctor the plan's
identification card and the doctor agrees to accept the PFFS plan's
payment terms and conditions, which could include balance billing.
