MVP USA Care PPO™ Plan
If your employer offers USA Care, you have the freedom to see any provider in the U.S. who accepts Medicare for a fixed co-pay. You cannot be billed for any other amounts above your cost-sharing amount.
USA Care works just like traditional health insurance. Simply show your MVP USA Care Member ID card at the doctor’s office. You may have a co-pay due at that time.
To be eligible to provide care to a USA Care plan member, providers must be state-licensed and have a Medicare billing number, or be eligible to obtain one. Institutional providers treating USA Care members, such as hospitals and skilled nursing facilities, must contract with Medicare to treat Medicare beneficiaries. The Medicare program reports that over 90% of all health care providers accept Medicare payment. To find doctors, hospitals, and other providers who participate with Medicare, visit the website for Medicare.
If your doctor or other health care provider would like more information about USA Care, they may call MVP Provider Services at 1-800-684-9286 (TTY 711).
