Why was I selected for this program?
Your primary clinician has elected to take part in this new Medicare program. Your physician thinks that you might benefit from care coordination and preventive services offered by AZPC DCE.
Because my primary clinician has joined this program, does that mean that I have to participate?
No. This is a voluntary alignment program. You may continue to see your primary clinician and not participate in the program.
Do I need to get referrals when I need specialty care or tests?
No. You may continue using all of the same providers that you have used. However, your primary clinician may recommend a provider for you. The choice is yours.
Does my Medicare coverage change if I participate in this program?
Not at all. You still have Traditional Medicare. In addition, if you may have supplemental or prescription coverage, nothing will change with those plans.
