Health Maintenance Organizations (HMO) / Managed Care Organizations:

Medicare Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) are private plans that the federal government pays to administer Medicare benefits.  Like all Medicare Advantage Plans, HMOs must provide you with the same benefits, rights, and protections as Original Medicare, but they may do so with different rules, restrictions, and costs.

• The HMO has the ultimate determination of how long a resident can stay in the Skilled Nursing Faculty.
• You must have both Parts A and B to join a Medicare HMO.
• Deductibles and Co-Insurance payments are common (patient responsibility) in many HMOs
