WHAT SERVICES ARE COVERED BY SCO?
SCO covers the following health care services:
- All the health care services covered by MassHealth Standard
- If you have Medicare, all the health care services covered by Medicare
- Coordination of your health care
- Specialized geriatric support services
- Adult day care
- Comprehensive dental care
- 24-hour access to medical support
- Home care services
- Family caregiver support
SCO plans combine your Medicare benefits (if you have Medicare), MassHealth benefits, prescription drug plan benefits, and extra SCO services into one plan with one health insurance card. However, the SCO program only covers services provided by your SCO and its network of providers. It will not cover services from other doctors or health care providers, except in an emergency.
The benefit of SCO is in the coordination of care—your primary care physician will work with you and your team of nurses, specialists, and a geriatric support services coordinator to develop a plan of care that specifically addresses your needs.
