Both services specifically excluded by the terms of Your policy/plan and those received after benefits have been exhausted are Non-Covered Services. Benefits may be exhausted by exceeding, for example, calendar year day/visit limits. In some circumstances, such as where there is no In-Network Provider available for the Covered Service, We may authorize the in-network cost share amounts (Deductible, Copayment, and/or Coinsurance) to apply to a claim for a Covered Service You receive from an Out-of-Network Provider. In such circumstance, You must contact Us in advance of obtaining the Covered Service. We also may authorize the in-network cost share amounts to apply to a claim for Covered Services if You receive Emergency Services from an Out-of-Network Provider and are not able to contact Us until after the Covered Service is rendered. If We authorize a Covered Service so that You are responsible for the in-network cost share amounts, You may still beliable for the difference between the MAC and the Out-of-Network Provider’s charge. Please contact Customer Service at (000)000-0000 for Authorized Services information or to request authorizationsurgery.
