There will be three check boxes to pay attention to when you log into the Sedera portal that you will need to check
Cost Sharing Plan with Sedera
Sedera is a cost sharing community, it is not considered insurance. It's for the major events in life that happen. You chose your Initial Un-shareable Amount (IUA) at the level that you are comfortable with. Think about the IUA like an auto deductible, it's per occurrance. Sedera doesn't have a network, so you can see any provider that you want. Please reference the Sedera materials and view the overviews below for additional details.
There is no ID card for Sedera. As you accumulate invoices & receipts, you as the member would submit those to Sedera for processing. You will present yourself as a cash payer at each appointment. If the provider would be willing to bill you, that's the best case scenario as that is exactly what Sedera was made for. After Sedera receives your invoices, they will contact those providers & negotiate that bill down on your behalf for any invoices that are over $1000. Most provides will require payment up front, however the cash pay price is usually significantly lower. Once you reach that IUA threshold, you would simply start a "Need" on the Sedera member portal then Sedera will cost share the remainder of the eligible expenses with you as the member. So those eligible reimbursement amounts will be paid to you as the member.
Telemedicine is included with your Sedera membership.
