WHAT DO WE COVER? Like all Medicare health plans, we cover everything that Original Medicare covers - and more.

1 Our plan members get all of the benefits covered by Original Medicare. For some of these benefits, you may pay more in our plan than you would in Original Medicare. For others, you may pay less.

1 Our plan members also get more than what is covered by Original Medicare. Some of the extra benefits are outlined in this booklet.

We cover Part D drugs for Community Blue Medicare HMO Signature (HMO), Community Blue Medicare HMO Prestige (HMO), Security Blue HMO ValueRx (HMO), Security Blue HMO Standard (HMO), and Security Blue HMO Deluxe (HMO). In addition, we cover Part B drugs such as chemotherapy and some drugs administered by your provider.

1 Or, call us and we will send you a copy of the formulary.

Security Blue HMO Basic (HMO) covers Part B drugs including chemotherapy and some drugs administered by your provider. However, this plan does not cover Part D prescription drugs.

HOW WILL I DETERMINE MY DRUG COSTS? Community Blue Medicare HMO Signature (HMO), Community Blue Medicare HMO Prestige (HMO), Security Blue HMO ValueRx (HMO), Security Blue HMO Standard (HMO), and Security Blue HMO Deluxe (HMO) group each medication into one of five "tiers." You will need to use your formulary to locate what tier your drug is on to determine how much it will cost you. The amount you pay depends on the drug's tier and what stage of the benefit you have reached. Later in this document we discuss the benefit stages that occur: Initial Coverage, Coverage Gap, and Catastrophic Coverage.

Highmark Choice Company is a HMO plan with a Medicare contract. Enrollment in Highmark Choice Company depends on contract renewal.
