Your Membership Card
For the 2020 Plan year and beyond, Senior Care Plus has removed the Primary Care Provider information from your insurance identification card. This changes does not impact your ability to access care with your current Primary Care Provider and was made for the following reasons:
- Many health plan members utilize care extenders such as Nurse Practitioners, Physician’s Assistants or APRNs instead of a Primary Care Doctor. The previous policy of capturing the Primary Care Provider that the extender was working under caused confusions for our members and for the doctor’s office the member was utilizing.
- Senior Care Plus members were required to select a Primary Care Provider at the time of enrollment. This created problems with members signing up for a provider, waiting to visit the provider at a later date, and finding out that the provider’s medical panel was full. Understandably, this made members upset as medical care was needed. This change allows members to choose an in-network Primary Care Provider when they are ready to schedule an appointment.
- Lastly, if a member did not sign up for a Primary Care Provider, Senior Care Plus would auto-assign a provider for the member. This practice caused problems for members in location and preference of provider. To eliminate this issue, Senior Care Plus will no longer auto-assign a provider for members.
- To find a provider, please visit our Find a Doc portal.
You will receive a membership card for each family member enrolled in Senior Care Plus. Please contact our Customer Service Department if you misplace your card.
