Quality Information
Geisinger Gold is committed to providing quality healthcare to our members. One way we can ensure that we are holding ourselves to the highest standards is to review our performance against accepted care and service measures. For example, the Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS®)* provides a set of measures against which we can judge our effectiveness.
Quality indicators, such as HEDIS and other initiatives, are set forth by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) to ensure that Gold members receive high quality care.
Geisinger Gold conducts an aggressive preventive health program, geared toward members most at risk for a variety of preventable illnesses, ailments and diseases.
Quality and accreditation staff work directly through personal and automated telephone calls and mailings to reinforce the importance of preventive measures and suggested screenings.
If you would like information on Geisinger Gold’s Quality Improvement (QI) program, call the quality and accreditation department at 866-847-1216.
The QI program includes information on clinical guidelines, health management programs and other initiatives intended to improve service to Geisinger Gold members.

Quality Information
Geisinger Gold is committed to providing quality healthcare to our members. One way we can ensure that we are holding ourselves to the highest standards is to review our performance against accepted care and service measures. For example, the Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS®)* provides a set of measures against which we can judge our effectiveness.
Quality indicators, such as HEDIS and other initiatives, are set forth by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) to ensure that Gold members receive high quality care.
Geisinger Gold conducts an aggressive preventive health program, geared toward members most at risk for a variety of preventable illnesses, ailments and diseases.
Quality and accreditation staff work directly through personal and automated telephone calls and mailings to reinforce the importance of preventive measures and suggested screenings.

Coverage decisions and appeals
At GHP, we'll work with you to make sure you're satisfied with your health coverage. A coverage decision is a decision we make about your benefits and coverage, or about the amount we'll pay for your medical services. Have a question about a decision we made? Follow the steps below:
Start by calling, writing, or faxing us to request coverage for the medical care you want. You, your doctor or your representative can do this.
Call: 800-544-3907 (FREE) (TDD: 711)

Generally, we use the standard deadlines for giving you our decision. For a standard coverage decision, we’ll answer within 14 days after receiving your request.
If your health requires a quick response, request a “fast coverage decision.” A fast coverage decision means we’ll answer within 72 hours.
To get a fast coverage decision, you must meet two requirements:
- You can get a fast coverage decision only if you’re asking for coverage for medical care you have not yet received. (You can’t get a fast coverage decision if your request is about payment for medical care you’ve already received.)
- You can get a fast coverage decision only if using standard deadlines could cause serious harm to your health or hurt your ability to function.
If your doctor tells us that your health requires a “fast coverage decision,” we will automatically agree to give you a fast coverage decision.
If you ask for a fast coverage decision on your own, without your doctor’s support, we will decide whether your health requires that we give you a fast coverage decision.
If we decide that your medical condition doesn’t meet the requirements for a fast coverage decision, we’ll send you a letter that says so (and we’ll use the standard deadlines instead). The letter will tell you:
- If your doctor asks for the fast coverage decision, we’ll automatically give a fast coverage decision.
- How you can file a “fast complaint” about our decision to give you a standard coverage decision instead of the fast coverage decision you requested
Note: We can take up to 14 more calendar days if you ask for more time, or if we need information (such as medical records from out-of-network providers) that may benefit you. If we decide to take extra days to make the decision, we’ll tell you in writing. If you believe we shouldn’t take extra days, you can file a “fast complaint” about our decision to take the extra days. When you file a fast complaint, we’ll answer your complaint within 24 hours.
Deadlines for fast coverage decisions
Generally, for a fast coverage decision, we’ll give you our answer within 72 hours.
- As explained above, we can take up to 14 more calendar days under certain circumstances. If we decide to take extra days to make the coverage decision, we’ll tell you in writing.
- If you believe we should not take extra days, you can file a “fast complaint” about our decision to take extra days. When you file a fast complaint, we’ll give you an answer to your complaint within 24 hours.
- If we do not give you our answer within 72 hours (or if there is an extended time period, by the end of that period), you have the right to appeal.
If our answer is yes to part or all of what you requested, we must authorize or provide the medical care coverage we have agreed to provide within 72 hours after we received your request. If we extended the time needed to make our coverage decision, we will provide the coverage by the end of that extended period.
If our answer is no to part or all of what you requested, we’ll send you a detailed written explanation as to why we said no.
Deadlines for standard coverage decisions
Generally, for a standard coverage decision, we’ll give you our answer within 14 days of receiving your request.
- We can take up to 14 more calendar days (“an extended time period”) under certain circumstances. If we decide to take extra days to make the coverage decision, we’ll tell you in writing.
- If you believe we should not take extra days, you can file a “fast complaint” about our decision to take extra days. When you file a fast complaint, we’ll give you an answer to your complaint within 24 hours.
- If we don’t give you our answer within 14 days (or if there is an extended time period, by the end of that period), you have the right to appeal. Step 3 below explains how to make an appeal.
If our answer is yes to part or all of what you requested, we must authorize or provide the coverage we have agreed to provide within 14 days after we received your request. If we extended the time needed to make our coverage decision, we will provide the coverage by the end of that extended period.
If our answer is no to part or all of what you requested, we’ll send you a written statement that explains why we said no.
Appeals information
If we say no, you have the right to ask us to reconsider this decision by making an appeal. Making an appeal means trying again to get the medical care coverage you want. If you would like to appeal a denial for coverage or payment of services, you may appeal this denial by contacting Geisinger Gold at the following address:

Prescription drug questions
Do I have to enroll in a Medicare prescription drug plan (Part D)?
You don’t have to enroll in Medicare Part D. However, even if you’re not currently taking many (or any) prescription drugs, you should still consider joining a plan. That way, if things change, you’ll have the coverage you need.If you wait to enroll in a Medicare prescription drug plan, you may have to pay a penalty for joining late.
What if I didn’t join a Medicare prescription drug plan when it was first offered?
If you were eligible and didn’t sign up for a plan by May 15, 2006, and since then you didn’t have a drug plan that covers as much or more than a Medicare prescription drug plan, you may have to pay more each month.Can I enroll in a standalone Medicare prescription drug plan if Geisinger Gold’s Medicare plan already includes prescription drug coverage, along with the medical coverage (an MAPD plan)?
No. If you purchase a standalone Medicare drug plan while you're enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan with prescription drug coverage (MAPD), you'll be automatically disenrolled from the MAPD plan.
If I enroll between Oct. 15 and Dec. 7 for Geisinger Gold, when will my coverage become effective?
Your coverage will become effective on Jan. 1 of the following year.
What is the State Pharmaceutical Assistance Program and how do I apply?
Pennsylvania’s State Pharmaceutical Assistance Programs, called PACE and PACENET, work with both Medicare and Geisinger Gold to ensure eligible Pennsylvanians have quality drug coverage at the lowest possible cost.
To speak with a PACE/PACENET representative, call toll-free:
- 866-712-2060, Monday – Friday, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.
You can also contact Geisinger Gold for help at:
- 800-498-9731, Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. – 8 p.m.

What prescriptions are covered by Geisinger Gold?
Geisinger Gold may add or remove drugs from our formulary during the year. For more information, contact the Pharmacy Service Team at 800-988-4861 (TTY/TDD: 711), 7 days a week, 8 a.m. – 8 p.m.
If we remove drugs from our formulary; add prior authorization, quantity limits and/or step therapy restrictions on a drug; or move a drug to a different tier, we must notify members who take the drug that it will be removed at least 60 days before the date that the change becomes effective, or at the time the member requests a refill of the drug, at which time the member will receive a 60-day supply of the drug. If the Food and Drug Administration deems a drug on our formulary to be unsafe or the drug's manufacturer removes the drug from the market, we will immediately remove the drug from our formulary and notify members who take the drug.
Geisinger Gold covers both brand-name drugs and generic drugs. Generic drugs have the same active-ingredient formula as a brand-name drug. They usually cost less than brand-name drugs and are rated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be as safe and effective as brand-name drugs.
Are there financial assistance options available for prescription drugs?
You may be able to get Extra Help to pay for your prescription drug premiums and costs. To see if you qualify for Extra Help, call:
- 800-MEDICARE (800-633-4227) (TTY users call 877-486-2048), 24 hours a day, 7 days a week

What are the opioid policies for 2024?
The opioid epidemic and its effect on our communities is a prime concern. One way of combating this public health emergency is via drug management programs that prevent opioid overuse:
- Opioids are limited to a 7-day supply for members who are not already established on opioid therapy.
- Opioids will require health plan review when a member is receiving multiple long-acting opioids or a combination of opioids and benzodiazepines.
- All Part D plans have a drug management program that limits access to controlled substances that are frequently abused drugs (currently defined as opioids and benzodiazepines) for members at risk for prescription drug abuse or misuse. The goal of drug management programs is better care coordination for safer use of these drugs.
You may be exempt from these drug management programs if you
- Have an active cancer diagnosis
- Have a diagnosis of sickle cell anemia
- Are in a hospice or long-term care facility
For more information, contact the Pharmacy Service Team at 800-988-4861 (TTY: 711), 7 days a week, 8 a.m. – 8 p.m.
You may also contact your provider with any medication-related questions.
If your drug isn’t included in the formulary, first contact customer service and ask if your drug is covered. If you learn that Geisinger Gold doesn’t cover your drug, you have two options:
- You can ask customer service for a list of similar drugs that are covered by Geisinger Gold. When you receive the list, show it to your doctor and ask him or her to prescribe a similar drug that’s covered by Geisinger Gold.
- You can ask Geisinger Gold to make an exception and cover your drug. See below for information about how to request an exception.
You can ask Geisinger Gold to make an exception to our coverage rules. There are several types of exceptions that you can ask us to make:
- You can ask us to cover your drug even if it’s not on our formulary.
- You can ask us to waive coverage restrictions or limits on your drug. For example, for certain drugs, Geisinger Gold limits the amount of the drug that we will cover. If your drug has a quantity limit, you can ask us to waive the limit and cover more of it.
Generally, Geisinger Gold will only approve a request for an exception if the alternative drug is included on the Plan's formulary or additional utilization restrictions would not be as effective in treating your condition and/or would cause you to have adverse medical effects.
You should contact us to ask for an initial coverage decision for a formulary, tiering or utilization restriction exception. When you’re requesting a formulary or utilization restriction exception, you should submit a statement from your physician supporting your request. Generally, we must make our decision within 72 hours of your request.
For an expedited coverage determination or exception, the turnaround time is 24 hours.
To request an expedited coverage determination or exception, call 800-988-4861, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. – 8 p.m., ET. A TDD/TTY line is available at 711, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m., ET. Instructions for completing and submitting a Drug Coverage Determination

Expedited (Fast) Grievances
As a Geisinger Gold member, you have the right to file an Expedited (Fast) Grievance for services you haven’t yet received, by following the process listed below.
Expedited (Fast) Grievances can be initiated or requested when you disagree with the time frames Geisinger Gold establishes for making coverage determinations (coverage decisions) for services you haven’t yet received.
An Expedited (Fast) Grievance can also be initiated or requested when you disagree with Geisinger Gold's established time frame when you have requested a redetermination (appeal) of a coverage decision.
There is one instance when you may file an Expedited (Fast) Grievance related to coverage determinations.
If you or your prescribing physician request an expedited 24-hour Coverage Determination and Geisinger Gold decides that your request more closely meets the criteria for a standard 72-hour Coverage Determination, you may disagree and file an Expedited (Fast) Grievance.
There is one instance when you may file an Expedited (Fast) Grievance related to requests for a redetermination (appeal) of a coverage determination.
If you or your physician request an expedited 72-hour redetermination and Geisinger Gold decides that your request more closely meets the criteria for a standard seven-day redetermination, you may disagree and file an Expedited (Fast) Grievance.
Expedited (Fast) Grievances can be requested or filed by contacting the Geisinger Gold Customer Service Team at 800-498-9731 seven days a week, from 8 a.m. – 8 p.m., ET, Oct. 1 - Feb. 14; for all other dates, call from 8 a.m. – 8 p.m., ET, Monday through Friday (TTY/TDD 711).
A medical director will review your Expedited (Fast) Grievance and you will receive a verbal notification of the decision within 24 hours of receipt of your request for an Expedited (Fast) Grievance. Additionally, a written response will be provided to you within 72 hours of the medical director's decision.
As a new or continuing member in our plan, you may be taking drugs that are not on our formulary. Or you may be taking a drug that’s on our formulary, but your ability to get it is limited. For example, you may need a prior authorization from us before you can fill your prescription. You should talk to your doctor to decide if you should switch to an appropriate drug that we cover, or request a formulary exception, to see if we’ll cover the drug you take. While you talk to your doctor to determine the right course of action for you, we may cover your drug in certain cases during the first 90 days you are a member of our plan.
For each of your drugs that’s not on our formulary, or if your ability to get your drugs is limited, we will cover a temporary 30-day supply (unless you have a prescription written for fewer days) when you go to a network pharmacy. After your first 30-day supply, we won’t pay for these drugs, even if you’ve been a member of the plan for fewer than 90 days.
If you’re a resident of a long-term care facility, we’ll allow you to refill your prescription until we’ve provided you with a 31-day transition supply, consistent with dispensing increment (unless you have a prescription written for fewer days). We’ll cover more than one refill of these drugs for the first 90 days you are a member of our plan. If you need a drug that’s not on our formulary, or if your ability to get your drugs is limited, but you are past the first 90 days of membership in our plan, we’ll cover a 31-day emergency supply of that drug (unless you have a prescription for fewer days) while you pursue a formulary exception.
If you are an enrollee being admitted to or discharged from a long-term care (LTC) facility, the use of early refill edits will not be used. You will be allowed to access an early refill of Part D covered medications upon admission or discharge from LTC facilities.
You can find more information on our Part D Medication Transition Policy here.
You might leave our plan because you’ve decided that you want to leave. There are only certain times during the year, or certain situations, when you may voluntarily end your membership in the plan. The process for voluntarily ending your membership varies depending on what type of new coverage you are choosing. There are also limited situations where you do not choose to leave, but we are required to end your membership.
If you’re leaving our plan, you must continue to get your medical care through our plan until your membership ends.
When can you end your membership in our plan?
You may end your membership in our plan only during certain times of the year, known as enrollment periods. All members have the opportunity to leave the plan during the Annual Enrollment Period and during the annual Medicare Advantage Disenrollment Period. In certain situations, you may also be eligible to leave the plan at other times of the year.
Your membership will usually end on the first day of the month after we receive your request to change your plan.
Until your membership ends, you must keep getting your medical services through our plan.
If you leave Geisinger Gold, it may take time before your membership ends and your new Medicare coverage goes into effect. During this time, you must continue to get your medical care through our plan.
If you’re hospitalized on the day that your membership ends, your hospital stay will usually be covered by our plan until you’re discharged (even if you’re discharged after your new health coverage begins).
Geisinger Gold must end your membership in the plan if any of the following happens:
- If you don’t stay continuously enrolled in Medicare Part A and Part B.
- If you move out of our service area for more than 6 months.
- If you move or take a long trip, you need to call member services to find out if the place you are moving or traveling to is in our plan’s area.
- If you become incarcerated (go to prison).
- If you intentionally give us incorrect information when you’re enrolling in our plan, and that information affects your eligibility for our plan.
- If you continuously behave in a way that is disruptive and makes it difficult for us to provide medical care for you and other members of our plan.
- We cannot make you leave our plan for this reason unless we get permission from Medicare first.
- If you let someone else use your membership card to get medical care.
- If we end your membership because of this reason, Medicare may have your case investigated by the Inspector General.
- If you do not pay the plan premiums for 2 months.
- We must notify you in writing that you have 2 months to pay the plan premium before we end your membership.
Need more information?
If you have questions or would like more information on when we can end your membership:
- Call Member Services at 800-498-9731 for more information.
We can’t ask you to leave our plan for any reason related to your health, what should you do if this happens?
If you feel that you’re being asked to leave our plan because of a health-related reason, you should call Medicare at 800-MEDICARE (800-633-4227 FREE). TTY users should call 877-486-2048 FREE. You may call 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
You have the right to make a complaint if we end your membership in our plan
If we end your membership in our plan, we must tell you in writing our reasons for ending your membership. We must also explain how you can make a complaint about our decision to end your membership.
To make sure you’re getting the best possible care, our pharmacists work with your doctor. This free and voluntary medication review is included as part of your Medicare Part D prescription coverage. Pharmacists at Geisinger will contact you to complete your annual medication review.
