Plan comparisons What is the difference between the plans? Similarities Differences • Prescription Drug Benefit • Annual Wellness Benefit • Plan Rules • 24/7 Health Info Hotline • ER & Urgent Care (in-network) • Premiums • Blue Options Provider Network • Annual Out-of-Pocket Maximums • HRA contributions
Definitions • Deductibles: The cumulative amount that you must pay in the Plan Year before benefits will be paid by the Plan. If the Plan has a $500 deductible, the Plan begins to pay after you have paid the first $500 for services in which the deductible is required. • Coinsurance: The percentage of a covered expense that you pay after the satisfaction of any applicable deductible. It is a defined percentage of the covered charges for services rendered. For example, the plan may pay for 70% of covered services and you pay 30%. • Co-pays (Co-payments): The fixed dollar amount you are required to pay each time a particular service is used. The co-pay does not apply to out-of-pocket, and does not reduce amounts applied to the deductible or coinsurance. A co-pay may be $20 for an office visit. • Annual Out-of-Pocket Maximum: The maximum amount of deductible and coinsurance during any Plan Year that you pay before the Plan begins to pay 100% of covered expenses for the balance of the Plan Year. • Flexible Spending Account: A Medical Care or Dependent Care Savings account in which you put aside pre-tax dollars to pay for eligible expenses. • $2 Million Lifetime Maximum: The total dollars you can receive in Medical Benefits in your lifetime. • Centers of Excellence: Preferred places of care with the best outcomes, finest operational standings and best patient care.
Medical Costs & Your Decision You may want to consider the following when making your decision for which plans to choose and how much to fund your Health Care Spending Account (HCSA): • Total premiums for your health insurance which are deducted on a before-tax basis • Out-of-pocket maximum (OOP) which is the maximum cost you could be responsible for in a year (co-pays are not included) • Co-pays Put these pieces together as follows to determine your total financial risk In a worst case scenario, one where your expenses would hit the OOP maximum: Premiums + OOP Max + Co-pays = Total OOP Risk
Remember to use Urgent Care when appropriate • According to some estimates, more than three-quarters of the people who visit emergency rooms do not need to be there. Many of these patients are likely better candidates for a visit to an urgent care center. • An emergency is defined as a condition that may cause loss of life or permanent or severe disability if it isn’t treated immediately. You should go directly to the nearest emergency room if you experience any of the following: • Chest pain • Serious burns, cuts, or infections • Shortness of breath • Inability to swallow • Severe abdominal pain following an injury • Seizure • Uncontrollable bleeding • Paralysis • Poisoning or suspected poisoning • Broken Bones • Confusion or loss of consciousness, especially after a head injury • Urgent care centers are usually located in clinics or hospitals, and like emergency rooms, offer after-hours care. They are not equipped to handle life-threatening situations but are designed to handle situations which require immediate attention – those where delaying treatment could cause serious problems or discomfort. Urgent care centers are usually more cost-effective than ERs for these conditions. In addition, the waiting time in urgent care centers is usually much shorter. Some examples of conditions that require urgent care are: • Ear infections • Sprains • Urinary tract infections • High fever • Vomiting
