HealthPartners MSHO is a health plan that contracts with both Medicare and the Minnesota Medical Assistance (Medicaid) program to provide benefits of both programs to enrollees.

7 What you and your doctor can do We are telling you about these changes now, so that you and your doctor will have time (at least 60 days) to decide what to do. Depending on the type of change, there may be different options to consider. For example: Perhaps you can find a different drug covered by the plan that might work just as well for you. o You can call us at HealthPartners Member Services to ask for a list of covered drugs that treat the same medical condition. o This list can help your doctor to find a covered drug that might work for you and have fewer restrictions or a lower cost. You and your doctor can ask the plan to make an exception for you. This means asking us to agree that the upcoming change in coverage or cost-sharing tier of a drug does not apply to you. o Your doctor will need to tell us why making an exception is medically necessary for you. o To learn what you must do to ask for an exception, see the Evidence of Coverage that we sent to you. Look for Chapter 9, What to do if you have a problem or complaint. o (Section 6 of your Monthly Prescription Drug Summary tells how to get a copy of the Evidence of Coverage if you need it.)
