4 Chapter 1: Getting started as a Participant A. Welcome to RiverSpring FIDA Plan RiverSpring FIDA Plan is a Fully Integrated Duals Advantage (FIDA) Plan. A FIDA Plan is an organization made up of doctors, hospitals, pharmacies, providers of long-term services and supports, and other providers. It also has Care Managers and Interdisciplinary Teams (IDTs) to help you manage all your providers and services. They all work together to provide the care you need. RiverSpring FIDA Plan was approved by New York State and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to provide you services as part of the FIDA Demonstration. FIDA is a demonstration program jointly run by New York State and the federal government to provide better health care for people who have both Medicare and Medicaid. Under this demonstration, the state and federal government want to test new ways to improve how you receive your Medicare and Medicaid health care services. At present, this demonstration is scheduled to last until December 31, ElderServe Health, Inc. is delighted that you have chosen to join our FIDA Medicare- Medicare Plan called RiverSpring FIDA Plan. It is designed to help you live as independently as possible by offering you high quality, personalized care, and comprehensive services that includes all the traditional Medicare and Medicaid benefits and services, and much more. The RiverSpring FIDA Plan team is committed to high quality compassionate care that is appropriate for you and your particular needs. And, we are an affiliate of the Hebrew Home at Riverdale, which has been providing exceptional care to elderly and disabled individuals in the New York metropolitan area since its founding in Again, welcome! B. What are Medicare and Medicaid Medicare Medicare is the federal health insurance program for: people 65 years of age or older, some people under age 65 with certain disabilities, and people with end-stage renal disease (kidney failure). Medicaid Medicaid is a program run by the federal government and New York State that helps people with limited incomes and resources pay for long-term services and supports and medical costs. It covers extra services and drugs not covered by Medicare. If you have questions, please call RiverSpring FIDA Plan at , seven days a week, 8 a.m 8 p.m.. The call is free.

5 Chapter 1: Getting started as a Participant Each state decides what counts as income and resources and who qualifies. Each state also decides which services are covered and the cost for services. States can decide how to run their programs, as long as they follow the federal rules. Medicare and New York State must approve RiverSpring FIDA Plan each year. You can get Medicare and Medicaid services through our plan as long as: You are eligible to participate in the FIDA Demonstration, We choose to offer the FIDA Plan, and Medicare and New York State approve RiverSpring FIDA Plan to participate in the FIDA Demonstration. If at any time our plan stops operating, your eligibility for Medicare and Medicaid services will not be affected. C. What are the advantages of this FIDA Plan In the FIDA Demonstration, you will get all your covered Medicare and Medicaid services from RiverSpring FIDA Plan, including long-term services and supports (LTSS) and prescription drugs. You do not pay anything to join or receive services from this plan. However, if you have Medicaid with a spend-down or excess income, you will have to continue to pay your spend-down to the FIDA plan. RiverSpring FIDA Plan will help make your Medicare and Medicaid benefits work better together and work better for you. Here are some of the advantages of having RiverSpring FIDA Plan: You will have an Interdisciplinary Team that you help put together. An Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) is a group of people that will get to know your needs and work with you to develop and carry out a Person-Centered Service Plan specific to your needs. Your IDT may include a Care Manager, doctors, service providers, or other health professionals who are there to help you get the care you need. You will have a Care Manager. This is a person who works with you, with RiverSpring FIDA Plan, and with your care providers to make sure you get the care you need. You will be able to direct your own care with help from your IDT and your Care Manager. The IDT and Care Manager will work with you to come up with a Person-Centered Service Plan specifically designed to meet your needs. The IDT will be in charge of coordinating the services you need. This means, for example:» Your IDT will make sure your doctors know about all medicines you take so they can reduce any side effects.

What to expect when you first join a FIDA plan When you first join the plan, you will receive a comprehensive assessment of your needs within the first 30 or 60 days depending on your enrollment type and date. The assessment will be conducted by a Registered Nurse from RiverSpring FIDA Plan. If RiverSpring FIDA Plan is new for you, you can keep seeing the doctors you go to now and getting your current services for a certain amount of time. This is called the transition period. In most cases, the transition period will last for 90 days or until your Person-Centered Service Plan is finalized and implemented, whichever is later. After the transition period, you will need to see doctors and other providers in the RiverSpring FIDA Plan network. A network provider is a provider who works with RiverSpring FIDA Plan. See Chapter 3 for more information on getting care. There are two exceptions to the transition period described above: If you are a resident of a nursing facility, you can continue to live in that nursing facility for the duration of the FIDA Demonstration, even if the nursing facility does not participate in RiverSpring FIDA Plan s network. If you are receiving services from a behavioral health provider at the time of your enrollment, you may continue to get services from that provider until treatment is complete, but not for more than two years. This is the case even if the provider does not participate in RiverSpring FIDA Plan s network. G. What is a Person-Centered Service Plan After RiverSpring FIDA Plan s Registered Nurse conducts the comprehensive assessment, you will meet with the members of your Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) to talk about your needs and develop your Person-Centered Service Plan (PCSP).

29 Chapter 3: Using the plan s coverage for your health care and other covered services and items A. About services and items, covered services and items, providers, and network providers Services and items are health care, long-term services and supports, supplies, behavioral health, prescription and over-the-counter drugs, equipment and other services. Covered services and items are any of these services and items that RiverSpring FIDA Plan pays for. Covered health care and long-term services and supports include those listed in the Covered Items and Services Chart in Chapter 4 and any other services that RiverSpring FIDA Plan, your IDT, or an authorized provider decides are necessary for your care. Providers are doctors, nurses, and other people who give you services and care. The term providers also includes hospitals, home health agencies, clinics, and other places that give you services, medical equipment, and long-term services and supports. Network providers are providers who work with the health plan. These providers have agreed to accept our payment as full payment. Network providers bill us directly for care they give you. When you see a network provider, you pay nothing for covered services or items. B. General rules for getting your health care, behavioral health, and longterm services and supports covered by RiverSpring FIDA Plan RiverSpring FIDA Plan covers all services and items covered by Medicare and Medicaid plus some additional services and items available through the FIDA Program. These include behavioral health, long term supports and services, and prescription drugs. RiverSpring FIDA Plan will generally pay for the services and items you need if you follow the plan rules for how to get them. To be covered: The care you get must be a service or item covered by the plan. This means that it must be included in the plan s Covered Items and Services Chart. (The chart is in Chapter 4 of this handbook). Other services and items that are not listed in the chart may also be covered if your Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) determines they are necessary for you. The care must be medically necessary. Medically necessary means those services and items necessary to prevent, diagnose, correct, or cure conditions you have that cause acute suffering, endanger life, result in illness or infirmity, interfere with your capacity for normal activity, or threaten some significant handicap. This includes care that keeps you from going into a hospital or nursing facility. It also means the services, supplies, or drugs meet accepted standards of medical practice. 8 a.m. 8 p.m. EST. The call is free. For more information, visit 3
30 Chapter 3: Using the plan s coverage for your health care and other covered services and items You will have and are expected to cooperate with an Interdisciplinary Team (IDT). Your IDT will assess your needs, work with you and/or your designee to plan your care and services, and make sure that you receive the necessary care and services. You can find more information about the IDT in Section C.» In most cases, you must get approval from RiverSpring FIDA Plan, your IDT, or an authorized provider before you can access covered services and items. This is called prior authorization. To learn more about prior authorization, see page 9.» You do not need prior authorization for emergency care or urgently needed care or to see a woman s health provider. You can get other kinds of care without having prior authorization. To learn more about this, see page 12. You will have a Care Manager who will serve as your primary point of contact with your IDT. You can find more information about the Care Manager in Section D. You must choose a network provider to serve as your Primary Care Provider (PCP). Your PCP will also be a member of your IDT. To learn more about choosing or changing a PCP, see page 6. You must get your services and items from network providers. Usually, RiverSpring FIDA Plan will not cover services or items from a provider who has not joined RiverSpring FIDA Plan s network. Here are some cases when this rule does not apply:» The plan covers emergency or urgently needed care from an out-of-network provider. To learn more and to see what emergency or urgently needed care means, see page 12.» If you need care that our plan covers and our network providers cannot give it to you, you can get the care from an out-of-network provider. In this situation, we will cover the care as if you got it from a network provider and at no cost to you. To learn about getting approval to see an out-of-network provider, see page 8.» The plan covers services and items from out-of-network providers and pharmacies when a provider or pharmacy is not available within a reasonable distance from your home.» The plan covers kidney dialysis services when you are outside the plan s service area for a short time. You can get these services at a Medicare-certified dialysis facility.» When you first join the plan, you can continue seeing the providers you see now during the transition period. In most cases, the transition period will last for 90 days or until your Person-Centered Service Plan is finalized and implemented, whichever is later. However, your out-of-network provider must agree to provide ongoing treatment and accept payment at our rates. After the transition period, we will no longer cover your care if you continue to see out-of-network providers. 8 a.m. 8 p.m. EST. The call is free. For more information, visit 4
31 Chapter 3: Using the plan s coverage for your health care and other covered services and items» If you are a resident of a nursing facility, you can continue to live in that nursing facility for the duration of the FIDA Program, even if the nursing facility does not participate in RiverSpring FIDA Plan s network.» If you are receiving services from a behavioral health provider at the time of your enrollment, you may continue to get services from that provider until treatment is complete, but not for more than two years. C. Your Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) Every Participant has an Interdisciplinary Team (IDT). Your IDT will include the following individuals: You and your designee(s); Your Care Manager Your Primary Care Provider (PCP), including a physician, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, or specialist who has agreed to serve as your PCP, or a designee from your PCP s practice who has clinical experience (such as a registered nurse, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant) and knowledge of your needs; Your Behavioral Health (BH) Professional, if you have one, or a designee from your BH Professional s practice who has clinical experience and knowledge of your needs; Your home care aide(s), or a designee with clinical experience from the home care agency who has knowledge of your needs, if you are receiving home care and approve the home care aide/designee s participation on the IDT; A clinical representative from your nursing facility, if receiving nursing facility care; and Additional individuals including:» Other providers either as requested by you or your designee, or as recommended by the IDT members as necessary for adequate care planning and approved by you or your designee; or» The registered nurse (RN) who completed your assessment, if approved by you or your designee The FIDA Plan Care Manager is the IDT lead.
