CLAIM FILING AND PROVIDER PAYMENTS This section provides information regarding how a member may file a claim for a covered healthcare service and how we pay providers for a covered healthcare service. How to File a Claim Network providers file claims on your behalf. Non-network providers may or may not file claims on your behalf. If a non-network provider does not file a claim on your behalf, you will need to file it yourself. To file a claim, please send us the provider’s itemized bill, and include the following information: • your name; • your member ID number; • the name, address, and telephone number of the provider who performed the service; • date and description of the service; and • charge for that service. Please send your claim to the address listed in the Contact Information section. Claims must be filed within one calendar year of the date you receive a covered healthcare service. Claims submitted after this deadline are not eligible for reimbursement. This timeframe does not apply if you are legally incapacitated. How Network Providers Are Paid We pay network providers directly for covered healthcare services. Network providers agree not to bill, charge, collect a deposit from, or seek reimbursement from you for a covered healthcare service, except for your share under the plan. When you see a network provider, you are responsible for a share of the cost of covered healthcare services. Your share includes the deductible, if one applies, and the copayment, as listed in the Summary of Medical Benefits. The covered healthcare service may also have a benefit limit, which caps the amount we will reimburse the provider for that service. You will be responsible for any amount over the benefit limit, up to the allowance. Your provider may request these payments at the time of service, or may bill you after the service. If you do not pay your provider, the provider may decline to provide current or future services or may pursue payment from you, such as beginning collection proceedings. Some of our agreements with network providers include alternative payment methods such as incentives, risk-sharing, care coordination, value-based, capitation or similar payment methods. Your copayments are determined based on our allowance at the date the service is rendered. Your copayment may be more or less than the amount the network provider receives under these alternative payment methods. Your copayment will not be adjusted based on these alternative payment methods, or for any payment that is not calculated on an individual claim basis. Our contracts with providers may establish a payment allowance for multiple covered healthcare services, and we may apply a single copayment based on these arrangements. In these cases, you will typically be responsible for fewer copayments than if your share of the cost had been determined on a per service basis.
Your Guide to Selecting a Primary Care Provider (PCP) and Other Providers Quality healthcare begins with a partnership between you and your primary care provider (PCP). When you need care, call your PCP, who will help coordinate your care. Your healthcare coverage under this plan is provided or arranged through our network of PCPs, specialists, and other providers. You’re encouraged to: • become involved in your healthcare by asking providers about all treatment plans available and their costs; • take advantage of the preventive health services offered under this plan to help you stay healthy and find problems before they become serious. Each member is required to provide the name of his or her PCP. However, if the name of a PCP is not provided with the application, your enrollment will not be delayed and your coverage will not be cancelled. How to Find a PCP or Other Providers Finding a PCP in our network is easy. To select a provider, or to check that a provider is in our network, please use the “Find a Doctor” tool on our website or call Customer Service. Please note: We are not obligated to provide you with a provider. We are not liable for anything your provider does or does not do. We are not a healthcare provider and do not practice medicine, dentistry, furnish health care, or make medical judgments.
