Hospitalization Benefits
Who pays for prescription drugs I receive in the hospital?
While you’re in the hospital, Elderplan pays all your prescription drug costs. Plus, we’ll pay for small amounts of prescription drugs to “carry you over” until you get home and start using your personal supply again.
Can my doctor visit me in the hospital?
Maybe. Doctors can only visit patients in hospitals where they are on staff or have what are called “visiting privileges.”
Usually, this is not a problem because Elderplan must approve your planned hospitalizations before you receive treatment.
If there is an emergency and you are taken to a hospital outside our network or where your doctor can’t visit you, you can contact your Primary Care Physician and he or she can help coordinate your care.
