What is Medicare Select?
Quartz Medicare Select plan information
Medicare Select is a health plan that helps fill in the gaps of Original Medicare. Medicare Select is designed to work with Medicare and pay certain charges Medicare does not cover.
- Covers Part A and Part B deductibles and helps fill in the gaps between Medicare and your health care expenses
- Covers a routine eye exam and a routine hearing exam once per year
- Provides access to a comprehensive provider network with guaranteed access to the world-class physicians at UW Health
- Coordinates your care through a Primary Care Provider (PCP)* selected by you
- Does not require written referrals to see specialists; however, some prior authorizations are required, depending on the service
- Offers value-added programs and services to help you maintain a healthy lifestyle
*Medicare Select Plus members do not need to choose a PCP.
Frequently asked questions
Quartz Medicare Select does not cover Medicare Part D (prescription drug coverage). If you are interested in purchasing a separate Medicare Part D plan, we can provide information about companies that provide standalone plans. Some Quartz Medicare Advantage (HMO) plans include Part D coverage. Contact your agent for more information about Part D coverage.
You can find a list of participating providers (doctors, hospitals, and other health care facilities) through the Find a Doctor tool (select the Quartz One network). To print a directory from Find a Doctor, select the “Show Printable List” icon and then answer the question “Medicare Select Network” with “Yes.”
Quartz requires most members to have a PCP. To select your PCP, Quartz provides you with the following options:
- Choose a PCP from the list of participating practitioners found at QuartzBenefits.com/FindADoctor (select the Commercial HMO/POS Network).
- Choose a participating clinic, and Quartz will assign a PCP at the clinic. Have Quartz assign you a PCP and clinic close to your home.
If you would like help in selecting a UW Health PCP, contact the UW Health Welcome Center at (800) 552-4255, weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST. You can also send an email to [email protected].
Yes. You can change your PCP at any time.

PCP changes are effective on the day of Quartz’s receipt of your request, unless you request a future date.
You should talk with your PCP before seeing other types of practitioners, so he/she may coordinate your health care.
You should work with your PCP to determine if you need specialty care. If you do, he/she will refer you to an appropriate specialist who is participating in your network.
