Medicare pays 100% for covered Home Health Care services.

Most of the time, your doctor, a social worker, or a hospital discharge planner will help arrange for Medicare-covered home health care. However, you have a say in which home health care agency you use.

STAR+PLUS is a Texas Medicaid managed care program designed to provide health care, acute and long-term services and support through a managed care system.

STAR+PLUS provides a continuum of care with a range of options and flexibility to meet individual needs. The program increases the number and types of providers available to Medicaid clients.

Participants of STAR+PLUS choose a health plan (HMO) from those available in their county, and receive Medicaid services through those health plans.

Through these health plans the STAR+PLUS program combines traditional health care (such as doctor visits) and long-term services and support, such as providing help in your home with daily activities, home modifications, respite care (short-term supervision) and personal assistance.

Service coordination is the main feature of STAR+PLUS. Medicaid clients, their family members and providers work together to help clients coordinate health, long-term and other community support services.

Secure Horizons is part of a larger organization led by UnitedHealth Group, an innovative leader in the health and well-being industry. Secure Horizons launched the nation's first Medicare HMO plan in 1985 and has since then achieved significant growth. Secure Horizons administers healthcare benefits to more than 360,000 Medicare beneficiaries in the state of California alone, where the company is based.

Secure Horizons offers Medicare Advantage Plans through a contract with the federal government in order to administer health plans to people who qualify for Original Medicare Parts A and B and reside within Secure Horizons' service areas. Depending on where you live, you may have several Secure Horizons Medicare Advantage plans to choose from. To enroll in a Secure Horizons plan, you must be eligible for Medicare Part A and continue to pay your Medicare Part B premium, unless otherwise paid for under Medicaid or by a third party. These plans include: MedicareComplete Plans, MedicareComplete Choice Plans, Secure Horizons MedicareDirect Plans, and MedicareComplete Special Needs Plans.

MedicareComplete Plans are Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) Plans through which you receive care by using a group of local contracted doctors and hospitals that coordinate your care. Out-of-pocket costs are usually lower for these plans than other plans.

MedicareComplete Choice Plans are Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plans which give you access to a network of local doctors and hospitals but still allow you the flexibility to seek services from physicians or hospitals outside the network. Outside health care providers usually charge a higher copayment cost. However, with these plans you do not need a referral for specialty care.

What is a Medicare Private Fee-for-Service Plan?

A Medicare Private Fee-for-Service Plan is a Medicare Advantage Plan offered by a private insurance company. In a Medicare Private Fee-for-Service Plan, Medicare pays a set amount of money every month to the private insurance company to provide health care coverage to people with Medicare on a fee-for-service arrangement. Also, the insurance company, rather than the Medicare Program, decides how much you pay for the services you get.

Note: A Medicare Private Fee-for-Service Plan is not the same as the Original Medicare Plan which is offered by the Federal government. It also is not the same as a Medigap (Medicare Supplement Insurance) policy, Medicare SELECT, or Medicare Prescription Drug Plan.

Because insurance companies decide where they will do business, companies may only offer Medicare Private Fee-for-Service Plans in some parts of the country. Insurance companies can decide that a plan will be available to everyone with Medicare in a state, or be available only in certain counties. Insurance companies may also offer more than one plan in an area, with different benefits and costs. Each year, insurance companies offering Medicare Private Fee-for-Service Plans can decide whether to offer such a plan in a given area.
