Catastrophic Plan Benefits
$2,000,
$3,000, $5,000 or $10,000
Deductible
This is
a Participating provider plan that does not require a
referral to see another doctor. As long as you are treated by a
Participating (network) provider when you receive medical care, you'll receive the greater
Participating provider benefit.
The plan gives you the choice of 75% or 50% Participating provider
reimbursement. You also have a choice of 4 deductibles from $2,000 to
$10,000 and a choice of 4 annual coinsurance maximum amounts from
$2,500 to $20,000, so you can tailor-make the plan according to your
benefit needs and budget.
Complications of pregnancy is covered the same as any other medical
condition, including emergency Caesarean section and any sickness
associated with a pregnancy except hyperemesis gravidarum (a severe
type of morning sickness). Charges from a routine pregnancy are also
covered at 100% after a separate $20,000 deductible, even if you
haven't yet met the annual deductible. Although no routine pregnancy
benefit is provided until after the $20,000 deductible, the plan gives
you access to network discounts on doctor and hospital bills.
Preventive services are covered immediately at 100% (no deductible)
with no annual maximum, including immunizations, Pap tests, PSA
screening, lipid profile tests, barium enemas, and tuberculosis tests.
There is also additional coverage for accidental injuries. Accident
medical expense coverage is included that pays 100% (no deductible) of
the first $2,000 of expenses related to each accident.
The plan does not automatically cover prescription drug or vision care expenses. However,
two optional prescription drug plans are available. Also available is a Dental-Vision Discount Plan
for an additional $9.95 per month, per family. Click here
for a description of the Dental-Vision Discount Plan.

Pre-Existing Conditions |
A pre-existing
condition is a sickness, pregnancy or injury, and related
complications for which, during the six-month period immediately prior
to the effective date of your health insurance coverage:
a) You sought, received or were recommended medical advice,
consultation, diagnosis, care, or treatment.
b) Prescription drugs were prescribed.
c) Symptoms were produced, or diagnosis was possible.
No benefits are paid for charges incurred due to a pre-existing
condition until you have been continuously insured under the plan for
nine months. After the nine-month period, benefits are paid for a
pre-existing condition.
In some cases, Assurant Health will apply
credit for pre-existing conditions if the person enrolling has been
covered by a prior group or individual health benefit plan that is
considered "creditable" coverage at any time during the 63
(sixty-three) day period immediately preceding the receipt date of the
application. |

Office
Visit Copay:
With
this benefit, a copay is your only cost for an eligible network office
visit. Any associated imaging and laboratory services, such as x-rays and
blood tests, are covered subject to deductible and coinsurance, but are
not eligible for benefits under the office visit copay.
Immunizations administered during an office visit are covered under the
preventive services benefit.
Other
services that are subject to deductible and coinsurance, but not eligible
for benefits under the office visit copay are: office visits with
non-participating providers, surgical procedures and allergy tests.
Medically
Necessary Care:
Treatment
must be medically necessary to be covered. Medically necessary services or
supplies must be:
-
Appropriate
and consistent with the diagnosis.
-
Commonly
accepted as proper treatment.
-
Reasonably
expected to result in improvement of the condition.
-
Provided
in the least intensive setting without affecting the quality of
medical care provided.
Maximum
Allowable Amount:
The
maximum allowable amount is the most the plan pays for covered services.
If you use an out-of-network provider, you are responsible for any balance
in excess of the maximum allowable amount.
Network
Services:
When
you use network providers, covered charges are eligible for discounts and
never exceed the maximum allowable amount.
Out-of-Network
Services:
-
Emergencies:
Covered services are always paid at the network benefit percentage -
even if you are out of network - subject to the maximum allowable
amount.
-
Non-emergencies:
Covered services are subject to the out-of-network deductible, the
maximum allowable amount provision, the out-of-network coinsurance, and the
increased out-of-network coinsurance out-of-pocket maximum.
Utilization
Review: Authorization is required
before receiving inpatient treatment and certain types of outpatient
procedures. Unauthorized services will result in a penalty. Unauthorized
transplants are not covered.
