Enrolling in a Community HealthFirst is easy.  You have 2 options of enrolling in one of our Community HealthFirst plans:

There are limits on when and how often you can change the way you get Medicare:

• From Nov. 15, 2007 through Dec. 31, 2007, anyone with Medicare will have an opportunity to switch from one Medicare plan to another.
  
• From Jan. 1, 2008 until March 31, 2008, anyone with Medicare has another chance to make a change. However, during this period you are limited in the type of plan you can join. You can't add or drop Medicare prescription drug coverage during this time.

Switching from one plan to another plan that we offer counts as making a change. Generally, you can't make any other changes during the year unless you meet special exceptions; such as if you move out of the plan's service area or are eligible for Medicaid coverage.

If you need any help in completing either form, please contact Customer Service anytime 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., 7 days a week at 1-800-944-1247 or TTY / TDD hearing impaired call 1-866-816-2479.  Once your application is received, we will send you an acknowledgement letter within 10 calendar days of receipt.

By completing and submitting a Community HealthFirst Enrollment Application, you understand and agree to the following:

Community HealthFirst™ Medicare Advantage Plans are offered by Community Health Plan, which contracts with the Federal Government as a Medicare approved HMO. The Plan contract is renewed annually.  Availability of coverage beyond the current contract year and current service area is not guaranteed.  Termination of contract and changes to service area may require current plan members to seek coverage from a different plan for which they are eligible.  Our Medicare Advantage Plans are available to people living in the plan service area that are entitled to Medicare Part A and are enrolled in Part B. You must continue to pay your Medicare Part B premium if not otherwise paid for under Medicaid or by another third-party. You must receive all routine care from Plan network providers. You may only be enrolled in one Medicare-approved prescription drug plan at a time and you must receive your Medicare prescription drug coverage through that plan. Pharmacy benefits are limited to the Community HealthFirst formulary. You must use a Plan network pharmacy except under non-routine circumstances. Benefits, premiums, cost sharing and limitations may vary by county or plan type. There are important conditions and time periods for enrollment. If you have questions on these, or anything else regarding our Medicare Advantage Plans, please contact our Customer Service anytime 8 am – 8 pm, 7 days a week at 1-800-944-1247 or for TTY/TDD hearing impaired call 1-866-816-2479.
