WPS MedicareRx Plan (PDP) not offered in 2023

Note: The following change is specific to stand-alone Medicare Part D prescription drug (PDP) coverage only. If you have a WPS Medicare supplement insurance policy (medical coverage), this will not impact that policy.

As of Jan. 1, 2023, WPS Health Insurance will no longer offer the WPS MedicareRx Plan (PDP). If you purchased this plan for 2022, you will need to pick a new Medicare Part D prescription drug plan for 2023.

Fraud and Abuse

Health care fraud is the deliberate submission of false information to gain undeserved payment on a claim.

Abuse involves a questionable practice inconsistent with accepted medical or business policies. While not an intentional misrepresentation, it may result in unnecessary costs.

Anyone involved in health care:

  • Patients
  • Doctors
  • Hospitals
  • Clinics
  • Labs
  • Someone posing as any one of these individuals

Items or services on your Explanation of Benefits (EOB) which:

  • You didn't receive.
  • Are different from those you received.
  • Are unnecessary, inappropriate, or of questionable medical benefit.
  • Are billed under a different name than the individual who provided the service.

Someone who:

  • Offers "free" items or services to you, but then bills them to WPS.
  • Any person (other than a covered dependent) who uses your insurance identification card to obtain medical care.
  • Misrepresents information on a health insurance application or form.
  • Submits falsified claims with stolen/purchased physician or patient identification information.

Fraudulent and abusive claims can affect your health care history. If a claim is filed for a service you didn't receive, this could:

  • Affect your future ability to obtain life or health insurance.
  • Increase insurance premiums.
  • Affect the health care received from other providers.

Know the warning signs:

  • Read your EOB and make sure all of the services listed were received.
  • Never give your health insurance number to anyone over the phone.
  • Question advertisements, telephone calls or promotions that offer free tests, treatment or services — especially when they request your insurance information and ID card.
  • Use our online form.
  • Email us.
  • Call our toll-free fraud and abuse hotline: 1-888-766-4681 (TTY: 711).
