This plan does not provide additional prescription drug (Part-D) coverage. The BlueCHiP for Medicare Core (HMO) has a monthly premium of $0 and has an in-network maximum out-of-pocket limit of $3,500 (MOOP).

BlueCHiP for Medicare Core (HMO) is a Local HMO *. With a health maintenance organization (HMO) you will be required to receive most of your health care from an in-network provider. Health maintenance organizations require that you select a primary care physician (PCP). Your PCP will serve as your personal doctor to provide all of your basic healthcare services. If you require specialized care or a physician specialist, your primary care physician will make the arrangements and inform you where you can go in the network. You will need your PCPs okay, called a referral. Services received from an out-of-network provider are not typically covered.

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Rhode Island works with Medicare to provide significant coverage beyond Part A and Part B benefits. If you decide to sign up for BlueCHiP for Medicare Core (HMO) you still retain Original Medicare. But you will get additional Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Part B (Medical Insurance) coverage from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Rhode Island and not Original Medicare. With Medicare Advantage you are always covered for urgently needed and emergency care. Plus you receive all the benefits of Original Medicare from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Rhode Island except hospice care. Original Medicare still provides you with hospice care even if you sign up for Medicare Advantage.
