$2,500 to $10,000 Deductible
This is
a Preferred Provider (PPO) plan that does not require a
referral to see another doctor. As long as you are treated by a PPO
provider when you receive medical care, you'll receive the greater
Preferred Plan benefit (80%).
This plan does not cover prescription
drugs, maternity and vision care expenses. If you'd
like a Regence plan that covers these expenses,

Pre-Existing Conditions |
A pre-existing
condition is one for which there has been
diagnosis, treatment (including the use of prescribed drugs), or
medical advice within the six month period prior to the effective date
of coverage or a condition for which symptoms existed within the six
month period prior to the date of coverage and for which a prudent
person would have ordinarily sought treatment.
Pre-existing
conditions will not be
covered until a member has been continuously enrolled under this plan
for 9 (nine) months. In some cases, Asuris Northwest 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 (i.e., a plan that had benefits as
good or better than this plan), at any time during the 63
(sixty-three) day period immediately preceding the receipt date of the
application. |
* At this time, this
service is provided only by participating providers.
** At this time, this service is provided only by recognized providers.
*** At this time, this service is provided only by participating or
recognized optical providers.
Copay: There is a per-visit copay for each office call/home
visit billed as such by a provider in the office, home or hospital
outpatient department (waived for surgery, for radiation and chemotherapy,
for spinal manipulations, or if you are directly admitted to the hospital
as an inpatient). Copays do not apply toward the deductible or to the
out-of-pocket coinsurance amount.
Cost
Containment Provisions: All hospital and skilled nursing
facility admissions must be medically necessary. Preadmission approval
is required for all inpatient admissions outside the service area if
you seek care from providers who have not contracted with a Blue Cross
and/or Blue Shield plan, except for emergency services.
Waiting Periods: No benefits
are provided for treatment relating to a transplant until you have
been covered under this or a prior plan with Regence BlueShield for 12 consecutive
months. No benefits will be provided for preexisting conditions,
including maternity, until you have been covered under this plan for
nine consecutive months, unless you were continuously covered for at
least nine months under the immediately preceding creditable plan.
Emergency
Care: Emergency benefits will be provided at
the level specified for a Preferred Plan provider. In the event of a
medical emergency, treatment by a provider not normally covered under
this plan will be recognized for a 24-hour period or for such
additional time as is reasonably required to come under the care of a
Preferred Plan or participating provider. Benefits will be based on the recognized
provider's actual charge for the service.
Care Outside the Service Area: All care received outside the
service area will be paid the same as in the service area if you use a
Preferred Plan or participating provider. Payment will be based on the
allowed amount. To receive the highest benefit level, you must receive
services from a Preferred Plan provider. If there is no Preferred Plan
provider network in an area, benefits will be provided for care received
from a participating provider at the level specified for Preferred Plan
providers. Benefits will be provided for
care received from a recognized provider at the level specified for
Preferred Plan providers only, if there is no local Blue Cross and/or Blue
Shield participating provider network in a particular area and for
medical emergencies. Call 1-800-810-BLUE (2583) for
names of Preferred Plan or participating providers with the local Blue
Cross and/or Blue Shield plan. When you need health care outside the
United States or its territories, call the BlueCard Worldwide Service Center at
1-800-810-BLUE or call collect at 1-804-673-1177. If you are admitted
to a hospital while traveling outside the service area, you must
contact Regence BlueShield within 24 hours to receive full plan
benefits. If you meet all requirements, inpatient benefits will be
provided at the level specified for Preferred Plan providers for like
services and supplies.
Annual Out-of-Pocket Coinsurance Amount: For medically necessary
services rendered by a Preferred Plan, participating or recognized provider, the benefits of this plan will be provided
at the percentage of the allowed amount as specified above after the
deductible has been met. Unless otherwise specified, all benefits are
subject to the annual deductible in addition to any copays and
coinsurance. When you have reached the annual out-of-pocket coinsurance maximum, this plan will
provide benefits at 100%
of the allowed amount for the remainder of the calendar year for
Preferred Plan providers only, unless otherwise specified.
Any balances of charges not covered by this plan will be your
responsibility to pay. The annual deductible, copays, outpatient
rehabilitation, and most participating provider services do not apply to the annual
out-of-pocket coinsurance amounts.
