Emergency Care Services. If you experience a medical emergency while traveling outside our service area, go to the nearest emergency or urgent care facility. When you receive Out-of-Area covered healthcare services outside our service area and the claim is processed through the BlueCard Program, the amount you pay for the Out-of-Area Covered healthcare services, if not a flat dollar copayment, is calculated based on the lower of: • the billed charges for your Out-of-Area covered healthcare services; or • the negotiated price that the Host Blue makes available to us. Often, this “negotiated price” will be a simple discount that reflects an actual price that the Host Blue pays to your healthcare provider. Sometimes, it is an estimated price that takes into account special arrangements with your healthcare provider or provider group that may include types of settlements, incentive payments and/or other credits or charges. Occasionally, it may be an average price, based on a discount that results in expected average savings for similar types of healthcare providers after taking into account the same types of transactions as with an estimated price. Estimated pricing and average pricing also take into account adjustments to correct for over- or underestimation of past pricing of claims, as noted above. However, such adjustments will not affect the price we have used for your claim because they will not be applied after a claim has already been paid. With respect to one or more Host Blues, in certain instances, instead of using the BlueCard Program, we may process your claims for covered healthcare services through Negotiated Arrangements for National Accounts. The amount you pay for covered healthcare services under this arrangement will be calculated based on the negotiated price (refer to the description of negotiated price in the BlueCard® Program section above) made available to us by the Host Blue.
