Medicare Plus Blue is a private-fee-for-service plan with a Medicare contract and is available to all Medicare beneficiaries who are Michigan residents entitled to Part A of Medicare and enrolled in Part B. Premiums vary by county. You must continue to pay your Medicare Part B premium if not otherwise paid for under Medicaid or by another third-party. Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit is only available to members of the MA-PD plan. If a beneficiary is already enrolled in a MA-PD plan, the enrollee must receive their Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit through that plan.
 

A Medicare Advantage private fee-for-service plan works differently than a Medicare supplement plan. Your doctor or hospital is not required to agree to accept the plan's terms and conditions, and thus may choose not to treat you, with the exception of emergencies. If your doctor or hospital does not agree to accept our payment terms and conditions, they may choose not to provide health care services to you, except in emergencies. Providers can find the plan's terms and conditions on our Web site at: bcbsm.com/ma.
 

You can also read more about how private fee-for-service plans work for you in our downloadable flyer (PDF 164K).
 

Medicare Plus Blue is issued by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, a nonprofit corporation and independent licensee of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association. Medicare Plus Blue's contract with CMS is renewed annually and the availability of coverage beyond the end of the current contract year is not guaranteed.

The person that is discussing plan options with you is either employed by or contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan (BCBSM). The person may be compensated based on your enrollment in a plan.
