Before making an enrollment decision, it is important that you fully understand our benefits and rules. To understand our benefits:

  • Review the full list of benefits found in the Evidence of Coverage (EOC), especially for those services for which you routinely see a doctor. Visit www.mcsclassicare.com or call 787-620-2530 (Metro Area) or 1-866-627-8183 (Toll Free) to view a copy of the EOC.
  • Review the Provider Directory (or ask your doctor) to make sure the doctors you see now are in the network. If they are not listed, it means you will likely have to select a new doctor.
  • Does not apply to MCS Classicare Patriot (HMO) - Review the Pharmacy Directory to make sure the pharmacy you use for any prescription drug is in the network. If the pharmacy is not listed, you will likely have to select a new pharmacy for your prescriptions.
