I just received an email from The family Physicians Group that I go to. This is what is said.
We regret to inform you that Physicians United Plan (PUP) will be liquidated and out of business at the end of this month. PUP members will be switched to original Medicare on July 1, 2014.
If you are experiencing some resistance from network providers unwilling to accept your current PUP Plan, or if you’re worried about what is going to happen to your Medicare Advantage Plan on July 1st, rest assured, you’re not alone. Family Physicians Group (FPG) is prepared to help all of our patients go through this transition. We will continue to provide for you without interruption, and our customer service department is available to help you with any questions or concerns you may have during this transition.
Obviously, knowing what Medicare Advantage Plans FPG accepts will be crucial in order for us to continue serving you in the future. In addition to original Medicare, FPG accepts the following Medicare Advantage Plans:
WellCare
CarePlus
Freedom
Optimum
United Healthcare
I called PUP and yes it is correct. PUP members will have to get another Medicare Advantage Plan or you will be put back to original medicare. They said PUP members will be getting a notice from Medicare and you need this paper if you want to sign up with another insurance, until you get it you can't sign up with another plan.
