What Happens After I Enroll?

Once you join an MVP Medicare Advantage Plan, you will receive these things by mail:

• A confirmation letter from MVP in about 10 days, letting you know we received your application and that Medicare has approved your enrollment in your MVP Medicare Advantage plan.
  • You can use this letter at doctor appointments until your MVP Member ID card arrives.
• Your MVP Member ID card
  • Always carry and show your MVP membership card when you visit your doctor or pharmacy.
  • Keep your Medicare card at home for your records.
• A dental plan member ID card, if the MVP plan you choose includes dental coverage.
• A new Medicare member guide, which includes your Evidence of Coverage (your MVP contract), and other important materials to read and keep for future reference.
• A verification letter from MVP, if you are leaving an employer group plan – as required by Medicare to verify that you are familiar with the terms of your new health plan.

A note about prior authorization

Prior authorization is a process in which MVP works with you and your doctors to make sure you receive medically-necessary, high-quality medical treatment at a reasonable cost. Some services require prior authorization by MVP regardless of whether these services are given by MVP contracted or non-contracted providers.

Some examples of services needing prior authorization include:

• Diagnostic services, such as CT scans and MRIs
• Admissions to transitional care units, acute rehabilitation, and skilled nursing facilities
• Durable medical equipment
• Home care services
• Implants and internal prosthetics
• Select prescription drugs

Most often, your family doctor will begin the process and request authorization whenever it is needed. If you need or want a medical service not available from a provider who contracts with MVP, you may refer yourself to a non-contracted provider. Remember that it may cost you more to receive medical services from a provider who is not contracted with MVP.
