Drugs With Restrictions

For safety reasons and/or cost savings, certain prescription drugs have added requirements for coverage or limits on coverage. These requirements and limits ensure that members use these drugs in the most effective way and help control drug plan costs. A team of doctors and pharmacists developed these requirements and limits for our health plans to help us provide quality coverage to our members.

MVP USA Care PPO® Plan

If your employer offers USA Care, you have the freedom to see any provider in the U.S. who accepts Medicare for a fixed co-pay. You cannot be billed for any other amounts above your cost-sharing amount. 

 
USA Care works just like traditional health insurance. Simply show your MVP USA Care Member ID card at the doctor’s office. You may have a co-pay due at that time. 

 
To be eligible to provide care to a USA Care plan member, providers must be state-licensed and have a Medicare billing number, or be eligible to obtain one. Institutional providers treating USA Care members, such as hospitals and skilled nursing facilities, must contract with Medicare to treat Medicare beneficiaries. The Medicare program reports that over 90% of all health care providers accept Medicare payment. To find doctors, hospitals, and other providers who participate with Medicare, visit the website for Medicare

 
If your doctor or other health care provider would like more information about USA Care, they may call MVP Provider Services at 1-800-684-9286
