Common Terms & Resources
HMO
An HMO gives you access to doctors and hospitals within the HMO network. But unlike PPO plans, care under an HMO plan is covered only if you see a provider within that HMO’s network.
You must select a Primary Care physician (PCP) who will determine the care/treatment you need. In order to see other doctors, such as a specialist, you must obtain a referral from your PCP.
HSA
All expenses are your responsibility until the deductible is reached, with the exception of preventive care, which is covered at 100% when you visit a physician in the network. Once the deductible is met, you are responsible for coinsurance for medical expenses and a copay for prescription drug expenses.
Enrolling in this plan allows you to contribute tax free dollars to a health savings account (HSA). Any dollars that you (and your employer) wish to contribute can be used towards any eligible medical, Rx, dental and vision expenses that you may incur while covered under the plan. See HSA section of this guide for additional details.
Preventive Services
Regardless of which plan you choose, preventive services are covered at 100% in-network and copays & deductibles do not apply.
There are 3 sets of free preventive services. Select the links below to see a list of covered services for each group:
Online Healthcare
A virtual visit lets you see and talk to a doctor from your mobile device or computer. When you use one of the provider groups in our virtual visit network, you have benefit coverage for certain non-emergency medical conditions. Costs must be paid by you at the time of the virtual visit and will apply toward your deductible and out-of-pocket maximum.
Find a Doctor
You pay less out of pocket if you receive care from an In-Network provider. In-Network providers can be found on your provider’s website under “Find a Doctor”. Log in to your account and choose the network based on the plan type you are choosing.
Deductible
The amount of money you are responsible for paying each year before the plan begins to pay for covered services, with the exception of preventive care services, which are covered at 100% In-Network.
Coinsurance
Your share of the expense of covered services after your deductible has been paid when the company plan is paying a percentage. The coinsurance rate is usually a percentage.
Out-of-Pocket Maximum
The most you pay per Plan Year for health care expenses and applies to deductibles, flat-dollar copays and coinsurance for all covered services – including cost-sharing amounts for prescription drugs. Once this limit is met, the plan will cover all in-network services at 100% until the end of the plan year.
Common Pharmacy Tiers
Generic | Lowest copay: Most drugs in this category are generic drugs. Members pay the lowest copay for generics, making these drugs the most cost-effective option for treatment.
Preferred Brand | Higher copay: This category includes preferred, brand name drugs that don't yet have a generic equivalent. These drugs are more expensive than generics, and a higher copay.
Non-Preferred Brand | Highest Brand copay: In this category are nonpreferred brand name drugs for which there is either a generic alternative or a more cost-effective preferred brand. These drugs have the highest copay. Make sure to check for mail order discounts that may be available.
Preferred Specialty | Lowest specialty drug copay: Preferred specialty drugs are generally more effective and less expensive than non-preferred specialty drugs.
Non-Preferred Specialty | Highest specialty drug copay: These drugs have the highest copay for specialty drugs, usually because there may be a more cost-effective generic or preferred brand available.
Finding a Drug List
Typically, a full listing of covered drugs is found on your provider’s website. A drug list, also called a formulary, is a list of generic and brand-name drugs covered by a health plan. Although a drug may be on the drug list, it might not be covered under every plan. Review the plan materials for details on specific benefits. You can use drug lists to see if a medication is covered by your health insurance plan. You can also find out if the medication is available as a generic, needs prior authorization, has quantity limits and more.
HSA
