$75 reward. Members are mailed a debit card that has their reward dollars loaded onto it. • After the VBID PHR is completed, members can receive $25 each quarter for their completed healthy activities. Members
that complete a healthy activity in Q4 will earn $50 for that quarter. Members can earn up to $200 on their debit card by completing the PHR and a healthy activity in each quarter.

Debit cards for
the Medicare preventive incentive program just read UPMC for Life.

What is a PSP?
Provider specific plans (PSP)
• A select network of providers that members can use for their medical care.• Typically the network is smaller allowing members to get high-quality care
that’s closely coordinated between the Health Plan and the providers.• This helps members to receive more personal support and better care.• There is now only one PSP network for Berks County.
Meals for members with COPD, CHF, and diabetes• All HMO and PPO plans (only applies to individual plans).• For members with all three diagnoses of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD),
congestive heart failure (CHF), and diabetes. • This benefit is for a member who has been discharged from either an inpatient hospital stay,
observation stay, or a skilled nursing facility stay.• 56 meals (two meals per day for four weeks (28 days)) will be delivered to the member’s
home in four deliveries (one delivery per week). • One meal benefit per year.• The meal benefit can only be used once after a discharge, it cannot be broken up into
separate weeks.

Telehealth benefit• Members can virtually visit with their doctor over the
phone or online if their provider participates in telehealth. A virtual specialist visit has a lower copay thanan in-person visit. The provider must be in the same state as the member during the visit.
• This benefit includes PCP visits, specialist visits, home health, outpatient mental health, outpatient substance abuse, psychiatric services, and diabetes self-management services

Maximum out-of-pocketThe maximum out-of-pocket cost, otherwise known as a “safety net,” helps members with chronic conditions and other serious health problems to limit their yearly health care costs. This is not a deductible. It is the most a member would pay should they have a serious medical problem and need a lot of medical care. This year, because of changes to the Medicare program, the maximum out-of-pocket cost has increased.
Maximum out-of-pocket increases:• HMO plans - $7,550• PPO Plans - $7,550 in-network / $11,300 out-of-network
47
Key points• After the member has paid the maximum out-of-pocket amount in copays, coinsurance, and deductible, our
plan pays 100% of the cost for covered benefits. • The member does not pay anything for covered medical care after reaching the maximum out-of-pocket.• The increase in maximum out-of-pocket means that Medicare beneficiaries may pay more out-of-pocket for
covered services in 2021.• The over-whelming majority of UPMC for Life members, around 95%, do not hit the maximum out-of-pocket
each year. • For additional information please reference the talking points and FAQ that have been provided.
There are two types of employer group sponsored plans:
Contributory Groups (group bill) The employer group sponsor subsidizes all or a portion of the monthly premium. UPMC for Life will bill the employer group sponsor (or their designee) for the monthly premium.• Most of our custom plans are contributory plans.• The premium amount will NOT be listed.
Sponsorship Groups (individual bill)The employer group sponsor offers a Medicare Advantage or stand-alone prescription drug plan and the retirees pays the monthly premium directly to UPMC for Life. The premium amount will be listed.

Maximum Out-of-Pocket
86
• 2021 MOOP: UPMC for Life Complete Care members have a $3,400 maximum out-of-pocket amount for covered Part A and Part B services.
• This applies only when the member falls into the grace period (lost Medical Assistance)
• Medical Assistance picks up the balances after the Medicare payment for dual eligible members and the out-of-pocket is not applicable.
Grace Period• UPMC for Life Complete Care members will be provided with a 180-day grace period, when they lose their Medical Assistance
coverage.
• During the grace period, UPMC for Life Complete Care members are encouraged to contact their County Assistance Office to regain full Medical Assistance.
• UPMC for Life Complete Care members who are unable to regain full Medical Assistance coverage will be disenrolled after the grace period ends.
• Once the member is disenrolled, they will return to Original Medicare unless they enroll in another Medicare Advantage plan.
While in the grace period:
• Members will not be responsible for copayments or coinsurance for covered services, except for Part D prescription drug copayments.
• Members will remain responsible for the Part B premium at all times, unless this amount is paid on their behalf.
• If a member receives a balance bill from a provider, they are encouraged to call Member Services, as members are not responsible for balance bills.
• UPMC for Life Complete Care providers are not allowed to balance bill our members.
Pharmacy coverageUPMC for Life Complete Care has a 5-tier drug list:
Tier 1 – Preferred Generic DrugsTier 2 – Generic DrugsTier 3 – Preferred Brand DrugsTier 4 – Non-Preferred DrugsTier 5 – Specialty Drugs

• For long-term care facility residents, the transition drug supply remains at 31-days
• There will now be Preferred and Standard Pharmacy locations. The cost share will remain the same for the members because they will continue to pay their LIS copays.
