ConnMAP is a Connecticut program which requires physicians and other Medicare Part B providers to accept Medicare's approved payment rate for individuals with moderate incomes. ConnMAP is available only to those who meet the following criteria:
Resident of Connecticut for at least 183 days prior to the date of application
Enrolled in Medicare Part B
Income - Individual:$41,415; Couple: $55,770 for calendar year 2009 (Income is based on the last complete calendar year. Applicants who were over the income limit in the previous year but have experienced a drop in income in the current year may apply using current year income. For purposes of determining eligibility all income, including Social Security, minus the Medicare Premium, and tax exempt income, is counted)
A ConnMAP card is issued to those who are eligible. It is best if individuals show the card to providers prior to receiving services to insure that the provider abides by the ConnMAP program terms and charge limitations. Individuals who are eligible and enrolled in ConnPACE are automatically eligible for ConnMAP and do not need to apply separately.
