What if I have other health insurance?

How does VillageCareMAX affect Medicaid and Medicare coverage?
- VillageCareMAX does not change your Medicare or Medicaid benefits.
- You continue to receive all of your Medicaid long term care services through the plan.
- You may keep your primary care physician.
- If a service is usually covered by Medicaid and/or Medicare, but is not covered by VillageCareMAX, you can continue to receive the service outside of the Plan using your Medicaid or Medicare card.
How do I get the services that I need?
- Upon enrollment, you and your care team (including your doctor, your care manager, your caregivers) will work together to develop a plan of care that meets your needs.
- Requests for new services or for changes in your current plan should be made by calling your care manager at (800-469-6292) or faxing us at 1-212-337-5711 or writing to us at VillageCareMAX , 112 Charles Street, New York, NY 10014. If the service is medically necessary, the Plan will authorize the service through our network of providers.
