Network PlatinumPlus, Network PlatinumPremier and Network PlatinumSelect are Medicare Advantage Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plans offered by Network Health Insurance Corporation, a Medicare Advantage organization that contracts with the federal government. Network Health Insurance Corporation's contract with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is renewed annually. Availability of coverage beyond the 2010 contract year is not guaranteed.

Network Health Insurance Corporation (NHIC) contracts with a network of providers within the 13 county service area to provide Medicare covered benefits. Our Network Medicare Advantage plans are open to all Medicare beneficiaries eligible by age or disability in the plans' service area. With the exception of emergent care which is covered at the in-network level cost share, members are allowed to use non-plan providers outside of the contracted network but it may cost more to do so. Our Network Medicare Platinum Plans provide reimbursement for all covered benefits regardless of whether they are received in-network, as long as they are medically necessary.

To qualify, you must be entitled to Medicare Part A, be enrolled in Part B, be a resident of the service area and not have End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). Members must continue to pay Medicare Part A, if applicable, and Part B premiums. If you enroll in one of our Medicare Advantage Plans, you must receive your Medicare prescription drug benefit through the plan. Our Network Medicare Advantage Pharmacy Plans use a formulary, which is a list of preferred drugs covered by the plan. People with limited income and resources may qualify for extra help from the government, pay a lower premium and pay less at the pharmacy.
