*This is a general copay that applies to specialist visits for consultation, diagnosis, and treatment by a specialist in a physician’s office, but copay amounts vary for some specialist visits including podiatry, psychiatry, pulmonology, cardiology, etc. Please reference the plan’s Evidence of Coverage for a complete listing of benefits.

The giveback is set up by Medicare and administered through the Social Security Administration (SSA). The giveback incentive only participates with Social Security and is credited monthly on your Social Security check or Medicare Part B premium statement. There are no direct payments made to beneficiaries by Independence. Beneficiaries who pay their own Part B premium are eligible for the Giveback. Meaning, beneficiaries cannot receive Medicaid or any

other assistance from a health program that could potentially pay their Part B premium.

For accommodations of persons with special needs at meetings, call 1-800-898-3492 (TTY/TDD: 711).

AmeriHealth offers PPO Medicare Advantage plans with a Medicare contract. Enrollment in AmeriHealth PPO Medicare Advantage plans depends on contract renewal.
