This page is for Generations Advantage plan members.
The following is an overview of COVID-19-related benefits during and after the PHE period. See your plan’s Evidence of Coverage for details. If you have questions about your coverage, don’t hesitate to contact Member Services at 1-866-544-7504. We’re here for you!
DURING THE PHE: Make sure to bring your Martin’s Point Generations Advantage identification card as your Generations Advantage plan is the primary payer for COVID-19 vaccines. You won’t pay a copay for a COVID-19 vaccine and, if your plan has a prescription deductible, your deductible will not apply to the cost of the COVID-19 vaccine.

AFTER THE PHE ENDS: (Effective starting May 12, 2023): No changes. Same coverage as DURING THE PHE (see above).

DURING THE PHE: Following guidance from The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), during the declared Public Health Emergency, all medical services normally covered by your plan at in-network levels will be covered with in-network member cost shares, even if you receive them from out-of-network providers. This applies to all Generations Advantage plans.
AFTER THE PHE ENDS: (Effective starting May 12, 2023): Network requirements will return for all services except those designated by CMS, and cost-sharing will be applied based on the member’s plan benefits
Generations Advantage Prime (HMO-POS) and Select (PPO) plans–covered out-of-network services are subject to out-of-network cost shares. (See Exception*).
Generations Advantage Value Plus (HMO), Alliance (HMO) and Focus DC (HMO SNP) plans— there is no coverage for services performed by out-of-network providers (See Exception*).
*EXCEPTION for ALL Generations Advantage plans: Urgent and emergency care are always covered with in-network cost shares, even if received out of network. In addition, if there are no in-network providers who can deliver a particular service in your area, the service can be evaluated by the health plan for in-network cost sharing.
DURING THE PHE: Generations Advantage covers all telehealth services covered by Original Medicare. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, Medicare has relaxed their requirements for telehealth services to allow members to get needed care. Copays for any telehealth services related to COVID-19 will be waived.
For all other visits, the in-network primary care copays will apply for telehealth services with a primary care provider, and in-network specialist copays will apply for telehealth services with a specialist. These copay amounts will be the same as if you received care through an in-office visit.
AFTER THE PHE ENDS: (Effective starting May 12, 2023): Generations Advantage will continue to cover all telehealth services covered by Original Medicare. Cost-sharing for any telehealth service will apply based on your benefit plan. These copay amounts will be the same as if you received care through an in-office visit.
