HealthSun Health Plans is an HMO for people with Medicare. The Medicare program pays us to manage health services for people with Medicare who are members of HealthSun Health Plans. HealthSun Health Plans is not a Medicare supplement policy.
Since HealthSun Health Plans is a Medicare HMO, this means that you will be getting most or all of your health services from the doctors, hospitals, and other health providers that are part of HealthSun Health Plans ("network providers"). Since these doctors, hospitals, and other providers are the ones we are paying to provide your care, they are the ones you must use (except in special situations such as emergencies).
HMO stands for Health Maintenance Organization, a health care system that assumes or shares risks and the delivery risks associated with providing comprehensive medical services to a voluntary population in a particular geographic area, usually in return for a fixed, prepaid fee.
The HealthSun Health Plans are made available to Medicare beneficiaries in Miami-Dade and Broward County.
If you need care when you are outside the service area, your coverage is limited. The only services we cover when you are outside our service area are care for a medical emergency, urgently needed care, renal dialysis and care that HealthSun Health Plans or a plan provider has approved in advance.
In case of an emergency, you should get care immediately. You do not have to contact your PCP or receive prior authorization in case of an emergency. You can dial 911 for immediate help by phone or go directly to the nearest emergency room, hospital, or urgent care center.
If you need to talk with your PCP or get medical care when the PCP's office is closed, and it is not a medical emergency, call the primary care physician's office number located on your HealthSun Health Plans membership card. There will always be a physician on call to help you. This physician will call you back and tell you what to do.
"Providers" is the general term we use for doctors, other health care professionals, hospitals, and other health care facilities that are licensed or certified by Medicare and by the state to provide health care services. We call them "plan providers" when they participate in HealthSun Health Plans network.
When you become a member of HealthSun Health Plans, you must choose a plan provider to be your PCP. Your PCP is a physician who meets state requirements and is trained to give you basic medical care. Your PCP will also coordinate the rest of the covered services you get as a plan member. For example, in order to see a specialist, you usually need to get your PCP's approval first (this is called getting a "referral" to a specialist).
As a HealthSun Health Plans member you will need to choose a PCP. You can do this by selecting one from the Provider Directory you received from HealthSun Health Plans or you may call Member Services Department at 305-447-4458 or toll free 1-877-336-2069, TTY users should call 1-877-206-0500.

As of January 1, 2006, anyone entitled to Medicare Part A or enrolled in Medicare Part B, regardless of income, was able to take advantage of the prescription drug benefit. This benefit is designed to help Medicare beneficiaries handle the rising cost of drugs and give them easier access to prescription medications.
Here’s a quick review of the key dates and deadlines for the upcoming enrollment dates:
Cost-sharing occurs when patients pay for a portion of health care costs not covered by health insurance. Examples include copays (any fixed “copayment” amount that a plan requires when a specific service or drug is received), deductibles (any deductible amount a plan may impose before services or drugs are covered) and coinsurance (any “coinsurance” amount, a percentage of the total amount paid for a service or drug, that a plan requires when a specific service or drug is received.
