2013 Life Improvement Plan (HMO SNP) - Plan Summary

The Healthfirst Life Improvement Plan (HMO SNP) is a dual-eligible Special Needs Plan (SNP), designed specifically for Medicare beneficiaries who are eligible for both Medicare and some level of assistance through New York State Medicaid ("dual eligible"). Through our Model of Care, this Special Needs Plan provides the basic Medicare benefit package for members, but coordinates the additional Medicaid benefits the member may be eligible to receive through New York State.

Don’t lose your health insurance! Make sure you know what you need to do to stay insured.
For some Healthfirst plans, you will need to make a monthly payment (or “premium”) to stay insured. It’s important to make all payments on time. You can make payments online, by phone, or at any Healthfirst office in your neighborhood.

I still have questions. I’m not sure if I can get the Life Improvement Plan.
We’re here to help! If you do not qualify for our Medicare Life Improvement Plan, you may be eligible for another Healthfirst health insurance plan.
