First Things First: Let's Make it Official!
You love your primary clinician at CMMD, and man, do we love you. Let's make it official in the eyes of the world – or at least, Medicare.
We encourage our Medicare Part B patients to visit Medicare.gov and select your CMMD provider as your primary care provider. Instructions are below for this voluntary process, including how to create a Medicare account if you do not already have one:

Note: If you regularly see many providers on our team, or cannot find your regular CMMD provider in the list on Medicare's website, you may select Christine Meyer, MD.
Why do this? We participate in several Medicare Quality Programs. In order for us to ensure we are providing the best care possible to our patient population, it is important for us to be able to identify our population. Once you align to us, we know that you are “our patient” and this will help us gauge our performance in our quality programs!

Don’t worry, this doesn’t mean you can only see one provider on our team. While it is important for the continuity of your care to designate your primary provider, you are free to see other people in the practice at any time. And although we can’t wait to tie the knot, if at any point our relationship ends, un-alignment with our practice can be done by logging back into Medicare.gov and making that change.
Our “marriage” also does not in any way limit your access to specialists, but we do ask that you always start with us before consulting with a specialist. Just like I know (better than he does) the vegetables my husband likes, we can help you navigate a sea of different specialists. We will advocate for you and ensure you NEVER get asparagus when you only like green beans. After all – in a marriage, you must advocate for your spouse. That is what we will continue to do for you.
While we think this is the logical next step in our relationship, we want you to be comfortable. So, please reach out with any questions to kelly@christinemeyermd.com, or call our office at (610) 363-0100 to reach Kelly.

Free Medicare Consultation Services Now Available for CMMD and Associates Patients
Sorting through Medicare options and information can be overwhelming and complicated. We think no patient—or caregiver—should have to navigate Medicare options alone, uncertain of how to enroll, what costs they may encounter, or what programs can help them fill in the gaps.
As a patient of Christine Meyer, MD and Associates, you have free access to an independent broker who will personally assist you in understanding Medicare options, so you can select a plan with confidence. Whether you are a Medicare enrollee or a caregiver, a one-on-one meeting or phone call with our broker can help you understand eligibility, the differences between each Medicare plan, and prescription coverage (including minimizing your out-of-pocket costs). Call today to schedule your free consultation!
Did You Know?
Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plans include five tiers of prescriptions drugs. The lower the tier, the lower your co-pay for that drug. Each insurer decides the tier a specific drug will be categorized into. There are also formulary exceptions, quantity limits, prior authorization requirements and step therapies.
Primary Care First
Primary Care First is an innovative healthcare payment program that aims to improve our patients’ care experience.
Giving doctors extra support to help you get better care Our goal has always been to provide you with the highest quality of care. Through Primary Care First, we will receive additional resources from Medicare and other health insurance companies to help us enhance our work and provide you the best quality, patient-centered care.
More information for patients with original Medicare
As part of this program, Medicare will start sharing some patient personal health information with us, such as when you receive care at hospitals, emergency departments, and specialist offices. This will help provide us with a more complete picture of your health and allow us to better coordinate your care.
If you want to stop Medicare from sharing this information, you should call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227). TTY users should call 1-877-486-2048.
Your Medicare benefits are not changing, and this program is only intended to enhance the healthcare you receive at Christine Meyer, MD & Associates. You still have the right to use or visit any doctor or hospital that accepts Medicare, at any time. Your doctor may continue to recommend that you see particular doctors for your specific health needs, but it is always your choice which doctors you use or hospital you visit.
