How to Use Your Medical Benefit

You pay a $20 co-payment that does not apply toward the deductible or coinsurance for basic services, such as office visits, annual women's examinations (including related Pap smear and routine mammography), allergy shots, childhood immunizations through age 18, and well-baby care through age two.

We pay other medical services provided by a preferred provider at 80% after your calendar year deductible is met. Of course, you're not limited to preferred providers. Once your medical deductible is met, you may seek care from a non-preferred provider and we pay 70% of these costs.

The same services are covered regardless of which provider you choose, but when you use preferred providers we pay a larger percentage of your covered expenses. Another reason for seeing a preferred or participating provider is that they will not bill you separately for balances over our agreed upon amount. This feature is called hold harmless.


How to Use Your Prescription Medication Benefit

When you choose a generic medication, you pay a simple $15 Co-pay per prescription filled. For medications on Choices 2000, our Preferred Medication List (PML), you pay 30% of the medication cost. Should you decide to purchase a non-preferred brand medication, you pay 50%.

Here are a few tips that will help you maximize the benefit from your prescription medication plan:

  • Review Choices 2000 to identify generic medications and preferred brands that are covered by your plan to help you save money.
  • Purchase your prescriptions from a participating pharmacy and present your ID card at the time of purchase.
  • If you forget your card, you can submit a paper claim form to us for reimbursement. You will be reimbursed based on the amount of the claim, minus a $10 processing fee.
  • Prescriptions purchased from a non-participating pharmacy will be covered at 50%. You can submit a paper claim to us for reimbursement.

After you reach your maximum prescription out-of-pocket amount of $5,000, we will pay 100% of eligible prescription costs for the remainder of the calendar year. (Please note, this amount is separate from the annual medical out-of-pocket maximum.)
