The Evidence of Coverage (EOC) booklet tells you how to get your Medicare medical care and prescription drugs covered through our plan. This booklet explains your rights and responsibilities, what is covered, and what you pay as a member of the plan. Chapter 4 of the EOC focuses on your covered services and what you pay for your medical benefits. It includes a Medical Benefits Chart that lists your covered services and shows how much you will pay for each covered service as a member of Ultimate Health Plans. It also has information about medical services that are not covered and explains limits on certain services.
Ultimate Health Plans maintains a Quality Program to improve quality of care and member health outcomes. The Quality Program provides the framework for how we monitor the quality of care and services that our members receive. Through this program, we develop clinical initiatives and process improvements. Ultimate Health Plans measures the program's effectiveness on an annual basis.
Ultimate Health Plans analyzes many different types of data, including member clinical data (such as claims, lab results, and diagnoses) as well as member and provider appeals and grievances. Ultimate Health Plans also monitors its internal processes.
Ultimate Health Plans annually measures the quality of care and services its members receive through the use of the Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS®). Ultimate Health Plans also conducts annual member surveys to determine what members think about the health plan, their physicians, and their own health. This survey is called the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) survey. We also look at member responses to the Medicare Health Outcomes Survey (HOS), which tells us how its members feel about their health.
Ultimate Health Plans also monitors measures of patient safety on an annual basis. Ultimate Health Plans maintain programs to improve patient safety, such as through medication reconciliation and the use of high-risk medications.
Ultimate Health Plans uses the Quality Program to implement ongoing, continuous quality improvement projects and interventions. Examples of quality projects may include:
One of the ways that you can determine how well we are doing is by looking at our Medicare Star Rating. Every year, Medicare evaluates plans based on a 5-star rating system. This system is based on the health plan’s quality and performance. You can find information about our current star rating below.
Medicare Star Ratings
The Medicare Program rates all health and prescription drug plans each year, based on a plan's quality and performance. Medicare Star Ratings help you know how good a job our plan is doing. You can use these Star Ratings to compare our plan's performance to other plans. Click on the document to view our current Star Rating.
Ultimate Health Plans is evaluated by the National Committee for Quality. You can review our report card by clicking here.
Ultimate Health Plans also establishes internal goals and benchmarks in an annual quality work plan. Quality monitoring information is reported to the Quality Management Steering Committee. This committee reports to the Ultimate Health Plans Board of Directors.

The Medicare Prescription Payment Plan is a new payment option in the prescription drug law that works with your current drug coverage to help you manage your out-of-pocket Medicare Part D drug costs by spreading them across the calendar year (January-December). Participation is voluntary.
Some services are covered by our plan only if your Primary Care Physician (PCP) or other provider gets permission from Ultimate Health Plans first. This is called a Prior Authorization.

Life Planning provides you with the opportunity to evaluate and communicate your values, goals, and preferences through advance care planning regarding your medical care. Life Planning is communicated through advance directives.
Every competent adult has the right to make decisions concerning their own health, including the right to choose or refuse medical treatment. The law recognizes the right of a competent adult to make an advance directive instructing their physician to provide, withhold, or withdraw life-prolonging procedures; to designate another individual to make treatment decisions if the person becomes unable to make their own decisions; and/or to indicate the desire to make an anatomical donation after death.
By law, hospitals, nursing homes, home health agencies, hospices, and health maintenance organizations (HMOs) are required to provide their patients with written information concerning health care advance directives. The state rules that require this include 58A-2.0232, 59A-3.254, 59A- 4.106, 59A-8.0245, and 59A-12.013, Florida Administrative Code. This written information can be found below.
Medicare law gives you the right to file a complaint with the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) if you are dissatisfied with our process for handling advance directives.
What is an Advance Directive?
An advance directive is a written or oral statement about how you want medical decisions made should you not be able to communicate them yourself. Various people make advance directives when they are diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. Others put their wishes into writing while they are healthy, often as part of their estate planning.
Types of life planning advance directives include:
