Medical
Our medical plan provides you access to both in-network and out-of-network providers, but you will get better discounts and pay less money out of pocket by remaining in-network.
All covered services are subject to medical necessity as determined by the plan. All out-of-network services are subjected to Reasonable and Customary (R&C) limitations. This means you are responsible for all charges over this allowance.
Maximize Your Benefits!
Out-of-network providers set their own rates, so you may be responsible for the difference if a provider’s fees are above the Reasonable and Customary (R&C) limits.
What would be the cost of out-of-network vs. in-network? (Example)
Provider charges $10,000 for services. Insurance carrier allowed amount is $6,000.
| Out-of-network provider | In-network provider | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| $500 | Deductible | $250 | Deductible |
| 30% x $5,500 = $1,650 | ($5,500 = $6,000 allowed amount – $500 deductible) | 10% x $5,750 = $575 | ($5,750 = $6,000 allowed amount – $250 deductible) |
| 4000 (balance billed amount) | ($4,000 = $10,000 billed – $6,000 allowed amount) | + No balance billing | Providers cannot bill in excess of the allowed amount |
| $6,150 | is your responsibility | $825 | is your responsibility |
