Contributed by Mercy Care Advantage

Choosing a health plan that’s right for you can be daunting. With so many options available, it is important to know your individual health care needs will be covered.

With Mercy Care Advantage and its broad range of benefits and services, you can confidently say, “I’m Covered!”

Mercy Care Advantage, an Arizona-based not-for-profit health plan, is a comprehensive health and prescription drug plan serving individuals throughout Arizona whose special needs and/or financial status makes them eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid.

To qualify for Mercy Care Advantage, you need both Medicare Parts A & B and you must be eligible to receive AHCCCS Medicaid benefits. Medicare and AHCCCS Medicaid eligibility are verified at the time of enrollment. Mercy Care Advantage members pay no monthly plan premiums for an array of covered health services, including general wellness, behavioral health, dental, vision and hearing care. There are even non-traditional services including transportation and a nurse’s hotline available to members.

To be eligible to enroll, individuals need to live in our Mercy Care Advantage geographic service area. Our service areas for the following Medicaid programs includes the following counties:
• For the AHCCCS Complete Care (ACC) Medicaid program our service area is Gila, Maricopa and Pinal counties.
• For ALTCS Medicaid our service area is Gila, Maricopa, Pima, and Pinal counties.
• For the Arizona Division of Developmental Disabilities, our service area is all Arizona counties.

Mercy Care Advantage’s network includes primary care providers (PCP), specialists, therapists, urgent care centers, clinics, hospitals, and providers of home and community-based services. In addition, Mercy Care Advantage members receive coverage for routine transportation to certain Mercy Care Advantage supplemental benefits.

To receive the most from your benefits, all Mercy Care Advantage members are required to receive all routine care from Mercy Care Advantage plan providers. Exceptions are made in the event of an emergency or an urgently needed care situation or for kidney dialysis services received from a Medicare-certified dialysis facility when you are temporarily outside the plan’s service area.
