GATEWAY AT A GLANCE for Medicare Assured SM Providers
Gateway Health Medicare Assured SM offers options designed to provide more than healthcare for those who qualify. Medicare Assured SM offers medical and prescription drug coverage, and all the benefits of Original Medicare, PLUS more benefits. Healthcare Options Dual Eligible Special Needs Plans (DSNP) Medicare Assured Diamond SM (HMO SNP) and Medicare Assured Ruby SM (HMO SNP) are for people who have BOTH Medicare (Part A and B) and Medical Assistance or assistance from the State. Those eligible can enroll in a new plan any time throughout the year. Chronic Condition Special Needs Plans (CSNP) Medicare Assured Gold SM (HMO SNP) and Medicare Assured Platinum SM (HMO SNP) are for people who have BOTH Medicare (Part A and B) and at least one of the following chronic conditions: diabetes, cardiovascular disorder or chronic heart failure. There are no income requirements for the chronic condition Special Needs Plans. As a SNP, Gateway is required by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to administer a Model of Care Plan. The SNP Model of Care Plan is the architecture for care management policy, procedures and operational systems. Refer to the Model of Care section in the Gateway Health Medicare Assured SM Provider Policy and Procedure Manual for our SNP Model of Care elements. MAPD Plans (HMO) Additional healthcare options offered outside Pennsylvania are Medicare Assured Prime SM and Medicare Assured Select SM (HMO).

There are NO Medicaid or chronic condition requirements for these plans. Frequently Asked Questions Do Gateway Health Medicare Assured SM members have any out of pocket expense?
