Suffolk School Employees Health
Plan Policy# 710635
Dear SSEHP Medicare Primary Member:
Individuals with primary coverage under Medicare, who have secondary coverage
under the
Suffolk School Employees Health plan, should not be required to pay a co-payment
when seeing
a physician. In most cases, the co-payment will not be required because once the
Medicare Part
B deductible is satisfied UnitedHealthcare will administer payment for the
remaining balance,
as long as the services being provided are covered under the SSEHP plan.
Please feel free to share this letter with your doctor at the
time of service. We ask that your
provider does not require you to pay this co-payment up front. If you have not
satisfied your
Medicare Part B deductible, you will be responsible for the office visit
co-payment; however, we
would ask that your doctor bill you once payment has been made by Medicare and
UnitedHealthcare.
If your doctor has any questions, he/she can call the 800# on the back of your UnitedHealthcare
identification card.
Sincerely,
UnitedHealthcare
Account Management
