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.
Benefit Waiting Period for Certain Treatment In addition to the transplant and pre-existing condition waiting periods shown above, benefits for certain types of treatment are payable after a 6-month waiting period for the services shown below:
Durable and personal medical equipment ($500 lifetime maximum)
Face and jaw dysfunction services ($600 lifetime maximum)
Surgical treatment of bunions, hemorrhoids,
inguinal hernia, varicose veins
Surgical treatment of tonsils/adenoids


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.
