about your health care coverage, please see your Evidence of Coverage.<br />

you must get your health care coverage from your PCP. Your PCP can also help you arrange or<br />

coordinate your covered services. This includes X-rays, laboratory tests, therapies, specialists,<br />

hospital admissions, <strong>and</strong> follow-up care. Your PCP also contacts other plan providers for<br />

updates about your care <strong>and</strong> treatment. Your PCP must give approval ahead of time for certain<br />

types of covered services <strong>and</strong> supplies In some cases, your PCP will need to get prior<br />

authorization (prior approval). Since your PCP will provide <strong>and</strong> coordinate your health care, you<br />

should have all of your past medical records sent to you�������������������<br />

care coverage. You may go to any of our network providers listed in this directory. If you have been<br />

going to one network provider, you are not required to continue going to that same provider.<br />

What should you do if you have bills from non-plan providers that you think<br />

should be paid by <strong>Amerigroup</strong>?<br />

In some cases, you may get covered services from non-network providers. You can get services<br />

from non-network providers without prior approval from your PCP or our plan if you require<br />

emergency or urgent care, or if you require dialysis treatment <strong>and</strong> you are not in our service<br />

area. In addition, if you need medical care that Medicare requires our plan to cover <strong>and</strong> the<br />

providers in our network cannot provide this care, you can get this care from an out-of-network<br />

provider as long as you get prior approval from our plan.<br />

If a non-plan provider asks you to pay for covered services you get in these situations, please<br />

call Member Services at 1-866-805-4589 from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. local time, 7 days a week.<br />

TTY users should call 1-800-855-2880. You can also contact us by mail at:<br />

The provider has a right to get his or her fees, but does not have a right to get them from you.<br />

Ask the non-plan provider to bill us first. If you have already paid for the covered services, we<br />

will reimburse you for our share of the cost. If you get a bill for the services, you can send the<br />

bill to us for payment (see your Evidence of Coverage for instructions on submitting a bill). We<br />

will pay your non-plan provider for our share of the bill, <strong>and</strong> we will let you know what, if<br />

anything, you must pay.
