I hope that this directory assists Medicare beneficiaries in getting the best possible health care. The 1996 Directory includes information about a new product, program changes and responds to many of the inquiries and suggestions we have received over the past several years. We have expanded the Appeals, Complaints and Grievances section to provide more information about appeals where the beneficiary has requested a reconsideration of an unfavorable decision by the managed care plan. The information in this Directory has been developed to assist SSA workers and other Directory users in locating Medicare-contracting coordinated or managed care plans near the residence of potential enrollees. Regions are broken into States and the plans are listed in alphabetical order.
Some plans provide services only in specific zip codes within a county.
For more information about the plan, services provided, limitations or the zip codes in the counties serviced by the plan, please call the plan directly. Plans which provide services in counties across two or more State lines are listed in each State. However, only the counties for a particular State are listed in the State. Plans which have more than one type of contract or agreement with HCFA may be listed one or more times. The various types of managed care plans may be identified by the Key which follows each plan address.
