Introduction
You will have to choose one of our network providers listed in this directory to be your Primary Care Provider (PCP). Generally, you must get your health care services from your PCP.
Since we are a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO), it is necessary for you to select a PCP to utilize while on the plan. Your PCP will get to know you and your health, and you can establish a trusting and long-lasting relationship. Your PCP can help you arrange or coordinate your covered services. This includes x-rays, laboratory tests, therapies, specialists, skilled nursing facility admissions, hospital admissions, and follow-up care. Your PCP also contacts other plan providers for updates about your care and/or treatment. In some cases, your PCP or provider will need to get prior authorization (prior approval).
The network providers listed in this directory have agreed to provide you with your health care services. You may go to any of our network providers listed in this directory; however, some services may require a referral or prior authorization. If you have been going to one Network Provider, you are not required to continue to go to that same Network Provider. We do not guarantee that each provider is still accepting new members. Please contact the provider to determine if he or she is accepting new patients.
In some cases, you may get covered services from non-network providers. If you get a bill from a non-network provider, you should not pay the bill but should submit it to Iowa Health Advantage for processing. We can help determine how much you are responsible for paying, if any.
Emergency care can always be obtained in or out of the service area from the nearest available provider. When in the service area, you must use network providers for urgent care. When out of the service area or when network providers are unavailable, urgent care may be obtained from the first available qualified provider. In addition, when out of the service area, you can obtain dialysis treatment from any Medicare certified dialysis provider.
You must use network providers except in emergency, urgent care situations, or for out-of-area dialysis, as described above. If you obtain routine care from out-of-network providers, neither Medicare nor Iowa Health Advantage will be responsible for the costs.
