PRIMARY CARE OFFICE VISITS Sample Clauses

PRIMARY CARE OFFICE VISITS. This plan allows the designation of a Primary Care Provider (PCP). You can receive the lower copayment amount on primary care office visit copays by selecting a provider as your PCP and telling us the name of the PCP any time prior to an office visit. You have the right to designate any PCP in the network. Each member can select a different PCP. Children can select a pediatrician. Your PCP must be one of the following provider types:  Family practice physician  General practice physician  Geriatric practice provider  Gynecologist  Internist  Naturopath  Nurse practitioner  Obstetrician  Pediatrician  Physician Assistant You do not need a referral from your PCP or any other person authorizing access to specialty care. This includes but is not limited to gynecologists and obstetricians. However, there may be services provided by the specialist that require prior authorization. Please see Prior Authorization for details. We encourage you to select a PCP at the time you enroll in this plan. If you have difficulty locating an available PCP, contact us and we will help you in selecting one. If you do not choose a PCP, we may assign as your PCP a provider you have previously seen. You may change this PCP selection by contacting us. If your PCP is part of a group practice, you can see any provider type listed above in that practice, and receive the PCP office visit copay. You can change your PCP selection at any time by contacting us, but the change will be effective the first of the next month. If you need to see your PCP and your PCP is not available, you may see a PCP within the same clinic and you will only be responsible for the lower cost share. If your PCP is a sole practitioner, you may see a PCP that your provider has asked to cover in their absence. You will only be responsible for the lower copay. Please call Customer Service for more information about selecting a PCP and to provide us with your selection. All other covered services provided by your selected PCP during the primary care office visit are subject to standard cost shares. For example, if you select a PCP and see that PCP for a cut that needs stitches, you will pay the lower copayment amount for the office visit and will pay your plan’s deductible and/or coinsurance for the stitching procedure. If you do not select a PCP, your office visit copay will be the higher copayment amount. See the Summary of Your Costs and Covered Services for details. CALENDAR YEAR DEDUCTIBLE A calendar y...

  • 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. Negotiated (non–BlueCard Program) Arrangements 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.
