Frequently Asked Questions

Will this change my coverage or my doctor?

No. Your coverage stays the same, and you keep your own doctor.

Does Medcare provide cash or goods directly?

No. Medcare does not provide cash, food, housing, utility payments, transportation or medicine. Your case worker helps you find and connect with local resources.

Is there a cost?

CHI is billed to Medicare Part B. Like most Part B services, it is subject to 20% coinsurance after your Part B deductible. A Medigap plan, other secondary insurance or Medicaid may cover this amount. If you are enrolled in the Qualified Medicare Beneficiary (QMB) program, providers may not bill you for coinsurance. A Medcare representative will explain any costs before services begin.

How can I confirm that a communication is from Medcare?

Medcare will never visit your home or request payment or bank details by phone. Official communications include Medcare's phone number, (800) 303-1766, and mailing address, P.O. Box 4503, Chicago, IL 60699. If you are unsure, call us directly at (800) 303-1766.
