At Clever Care, we put members’ health and safety first. As part of our Medicare Part D plan, Clever Care offers QA and UM programs at no extra cost to Part D members. These programs are designed to ensure the safe and appropriate use of prescription medications covered under Medicare Part D. The programs help identify potential risks and opportunities to improve your medication therapy.
In this program, every time a prescription is dispensed, it is reviewed for:
This program also periodically reviews claims data.
This program consists of three parts, and is designed to encourage the safe, appropriate, and cost-effective use of Medicare Part D prescription drugs.
Prior authorization (PA) A PA requirement means the member, or their doctor must get approval before your medication is covered at your pharmacy.
Step therapy (ST) A ST requirement means you must first try one drug to treat a medical condition before another drug will be covered for that same condition.
Quantity limits (QL) A Quantity Limit requirement limits the amount of a drug that will be covered with prior approval.
Together, these programs help us identify and work to resolve any health and safety risks that your medications could pose, and to help you get the most benefit from your Medicare Part D plan.
If you’re in a Medicare drug plan and you have complex health needs, you may be able to participate in a Medication Therapy Management (MTM) program.
MTM is a service offered by Clever Care of Golden State at no additional cost to you! The MTM program is required by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and is not considered a benefit. This program helps you and your doctor make sure that your medications are working. It also helps us identify and reduce possible medication problems.
To take part in this program, you must meet certain criteria set forth in part by CMS. These criteria are used to identify people who have multiple chronic diseases and are at risk for medication-related problems. If you meet these criteria, we will send you a letter inviting you to participate in the program and information about the program, including how to access the program. Your enrollment in MTM is voluntary and does not affect Medicare coverage for drugs covered under Medicare.
You must meet ALL of the following criteria to qualify to participate in Clever Care’s MTM program,
To help reduce the risk of possible medication problems, the MTM program offers two types of clinical review of your medications:
The Personal Medication List can help you and your health care providers keep track of the medications you are taking.
If you take many medications for more than one chronic health condition contact your drug plan to see if you’re eligible for MTM, or for more information, please contact Customer Service at 1-833-388-8168 (TTY: 711), 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week, from October 1 through March 31, and 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., weekdays, from April 1 through September 30. Messages received on holidays or outside of our business hours will be returned within one business day.

For a faster decision, include this medical information from your doctor or other prescriber when you ask for the exception.

CMS created the “best available evidence” policy in 2006 requiring plans to establish the appropriate cost-sharing for low-income beneficiaries when presented with evidence that the beneficiary’s information was not accurate.
CMS continues to require Part D plans to rely on best available evidence and considers it best practice for the Part D plans to work with pharmacies to resolve these issues at point-of-sale when beneficiaries present with appropriate evidence of correct low-income status.

An advance directive (also known as a living will) is a way to make sure that your designated medical power of attorney is able to communicate your medial wishes if you cannot speak for yourself.
Together, with your doctor, you can create an advance directive that will instruct providers to withhold or withdraw life sustaining treatment in the event of a terminal condition or permanent unconscious condition.
When you have completed your advance directive, ask your doctor to put the form in your file. It is also a good idea to let your loved ones and your Medical Power of Attorney (if designated) know you have an advance directive.
You may change your advance directive at any time. Call us if you have any questions or want help.
Appointing a Representative – Instructions & Form
People who want to represent a member can be appointed or authorized by the member.
A member can authorize anyone (like a relative, friend, advocate, an attorney, or a doctor) to act as his or her representative and file a grievance, appeal, or organization determination on his or her behalf.
A representative (or surrogate) can also be authorized by the court or act on behalf of the member in accordance with State law to file an appeal for an enrollee. A surrogate could include, but is not limited to, a court appointed guardian, an individual who has Durable Power of Attorney, or a health care proxy, or a person designated under a health care consent statute.
How to authorize a representative:
Clever Care Medicare Advantage requires a copy of the completed and signed Appointment of Representative Form to process a grievance, appeal or organization determination filed by the member’s representative. The form will be valid during the entire grievance, appeal or organization determination process. The Appointment of Representative Form is valid for one year from the date indicated on the form. A member can revoke the authorization at any time.
Clever Care of Golden State, Inc Health Plan “Clever Care” has established a Disaster and Emergency Declaration policy in accordance with state and federal laws and related regulations.
In the event of a Presidential emergency declaration, a Presidential (major) disaster declaration, a declaration of emergency or disaster by a Governor, or an announcement of a public health emergency by the Secretary of Health and Human Services, but or prior to the issuance of, an 1135 waiver by the Secretary, the Clever Care will:
If, in addition to a Presidential declaration of a disaster or emergency under the Stafford Act or National Emergencies Act, the Secretary of Health and Human Services declares a public health emergency under section 319 of the Public Health Service Act, the Secretary has the right to exercise his or her waiver authority under section 1135 of the Social Security Act. If an 1135 waiver is issued, CMS will identify consequent requirements and responsibilities to the Clever Care Health Plan.
Under the Secretary’s section 1135 waiver authority, CMS may authorize Medicare Administrative Contractors to pay for Part C-covered services furnished to beneficiaries enrolled in the Clever Care and seek reimbursement from the Clever Care for those health care services, retrospectively.
Clever Care will continue to lift edits until the termination of a public health emergency or the end of a declared disaster or emergency.
In the absence of a Presidential major disaster or emergency declaration or a public health emergency, Clever Care may consider lifting the edits, for instance, in advance of an impending disaster; if the Clever Care determines it appropriate to do so to ensure pharmacy access.
Clever Care will ensure that enrollees have adequate access to covered Part D drugs dispensed at out-of-network pharmacies during any Federal disaster declaration or other public health emergency declaration in which enrollees are evacuated or otherwise displaced from their place of residence and cannot reasonably be expected to obtain covered Part D drugs at a network pharmacy.
Affected enrollees will be allowed to obtain the maximum extended day supply, if requested and available at the time of refill.
