Important Disclaimers

Essence Healthcare is an HMO plan with a Medicare contract. Enrollment in Essence Healthcare depends on contract renewal. All Essence plans include Part D drug coverage. To enroll, you must have both Medicare Parts A and B and reside in the Missouri counties of Boone, Jefferson, St. Charles, St. Louis or St. Louis City, or in the Illinois counties of Madison, Monroe or St. Clair.

You must continue to pay your Medicare Part B premium. Please note that enrollment is limited to specific times of the year. This information is not a complete description of benefits. Call 1-866-509-5398 (TTY: 711) for more information. Members must use plan providers except in emergency or urgent care situations. If a member obtains routine care from an out-of-network provider without prior approval from Essence, neither Medicare nor Essence will be responsible for the costs.

For accommodations of persons with special needs at meetings call 1-866-509-5398 (TTY: 711).

Medicare beneficiaries may also enroll in Essence Healthcare through the CMS Medicare Online Enrollment Center located at http://www.medicare.gov.

Essence Healthcare complies with applicable Federal civil rights laws and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, disability, or sex.
