Beneficiary Information Notice
The Magnolia Clinics are participating in a Medicare Shared Savings Program Accountable Care Organization. Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs): Providing Better, Coordinated Care for You.
Magnolia Regional Health Center and other Mississippi Hospitals have joined the Myriad Health Alliance, Medicare Shared Savings Program ACO. An ACO is a group of doctors, hospitals, and/or other health care providers working with Medicare to give you better, more coordinated service and health care. We share essential information and resources about your individual needs and preferences. Participation in an ACO is intended to coordinate your care better to improve your health.
You Can Still Choose Any Doctor or Hospital
Your Medicare benefits are not changing. ACOs are not Medicare Advantage plans, HMO plans, or insurance plans. You still have the right to use any doctor or hospital that accepts Medicare at any time. Your doctor may recommend seeing particular doctors or health care providers, but it’s always your choice about what doctors and providers you use or hospitals you visit.
Select Your Primary Clinician On MyMedicare.gov.
As a Medicare beneficiary, you can log in to MyMedicare.gov and select your primary clinician. Your primary clinician is the health care provider that you believe is responsible for coordinating your overall care. Selecting a primary clinician does not affect your benefits or restrict your ability to get care from any doctor or other clinician you choose. Your selection of a primary clinician will remain the same unless you decide to change your designation. To select your primary clinician, log in to your MyMedicare.gov account or call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227). Please search for your primary clinician by typing their name into the provider search tool. Then select the “Add as my primary clinician” option under the provider’s name.
Having Your Health Information Gives Us a More Complete Picture of Your Health
Medicare will share information about your care to help MRHC and the Myriad Alliance provide better, coordinated care. The information will include the dates and times you visited a doctor or hospital, your medical conditions, and a list of past and current prescriptions.
This information from your healthcare providers will give the MRHC and other healthcare providers in ACOs a more complete and up-to-date picture of your health. Over time, you may notice that you don’t have to fill out as many medical forms that ask for the same information, you don’t need to repeat medical tests because your results are shared among your health team, and other benefits because your providers are communicating with one another.
Suppose you let Medicare share your health care information with the MRHC and the Myriad Alliance (this is the name of the MRHC ACO). In that case, it may also be shared with other ACOs in which your other doctors or health care providers participate. If you don’t want your healthcare information shared, you can ask Medicare not to share it.
Your Privacy is Very Important to Us
Like Medicare, ACOs must have essential safeguards to ensure the safety of your health care information. ACOs also respect your choice to use health care information for care coordination and quality improvement.
- Yes, share my information: If you want Medicare to share information about the health care you received with the Myriad Alliance or with other ACOs in which your other doctors or health care providers participate, there’s nothing more you need to do.
- No, please don’t share my information. If you do not want Medicare to share your health care information, you need to do the following:
Call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227). Tell the representative that your doctor is part of an ACO and you do not want Medicare to share your health care information. TTY users should call 1-877-486-2048.
If you change your mind in the future, call 1-800-MEDICARE and tell the representative what you have decided. We can’t communicate with Medicare on your behalf.
Even if you decline to share your health care information, Medicare will still use your information for some purposes, like assessing the providers’ financial and quality of care performance in ACOs. Also, Medicare may share some of your health care information with ACOs when measuring the quality of care given by providers participating in those ACOs.
Questions?
You may call 1-800-MEDICARE and tell the representative you’re calling to learn more about ACOs, or visit Medicare.gov/acos.html.
