Important Updates That May Affect Your Coverage
Important update for AvMed Medicare Advantage Members
Starting January 1, 2025, Cleveland Clinic facilities and providers in Florida will no longer be in-network for AvMed Medicare Advantage members. You may consider your options during the Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period, which runs through December 7 and again from January 1 to March 31. See below for a list of in-network insurance companies accepted at Cleveland Clinic.
Do you have Medicaid or CHIP?
You may need to update some of your information to renew your coverage.
Here are a few steps you might need to take to make sure there aren’t any gaps in your coverage:
- Look through your contact information and make sure it’s accurate.
- Watch your mail for a letter.
- Fill out a renewal form (if you get one).
If you have questions, you can reach out to your state Medicaid office or visit Medicaid.gov/renewals.

Where Do I Get Started?
We know that it can be stressful to navigate the insurance coverage process, but we strive to make it as smooth as possible.We accept a variety of plans from insurance companies at all of our locations. To verify if your insurance plan is accepted for services across our health system, please review our list of accepted insurance companies below.
If your insurance company is accepted by Cleveland Clinic: Please contact your insurance company to confirm what care is covered by your plan as well as information on copayments, deductibles and coinsurance amounts. See what your out-of-pocket expenses will be using our cost estimator.
If your insurance company is not accepted by Cleveland Clinic: This means your insurance plan is considered out-of-network which can lead to greater out-of-pocket expenses for your care. Please contact your insurance company for more information about what your financial responsibility may be if you choose to receive care at Cleveland Clinic. Find more information about Cleveland Clinic’s out-of-network insurance process.
