When you need health care, you'll choose a doctor or hospital from the network you selected when you enrolled in the plan — either the Aetna Premier Care Plus Network (APCN+) or Anthem's National Blue High Performance Network (BlueHPN). These networks are made up of a select group of doctors and hospitals that consistently deliver high-quality care at lower costs.

A copay is a flat fee you pay for medical care. When you go to the doctor to address a health concern, you'll pay either $25 for a primary care visit or $45 for a specialist visit. When you go to the hospital for treatment, you must first meet the medical deductible, then you pay either $200 for emergency room and outpatient care or $400 for inpatient care.

For prescriptions, you'll pay a copay for generic and preferred brand-name drugs after meeting the separate annual deductible for prescription drugs. This deductible is the same as the prescription drug deductible for the Choice Plan. (Non-preferred brand name drugs and some specialty drugs charge a coinsurance percentage, instead of a flat copay.)

The deductible does not apply to office visits — all you pay is the copay. The deductible does apply if you need a surgical procedure or care at a hospital. You'll pay your hospital fees up to the plan's annual medical deductible ($250 individual/$500 family), plus a copay ($200 for emergency room and outpatient care or $400 for inpatient care). Note: Your prescription drug copays and coinsurance are subject to a separate annual deductible ($100 individual/$200 family).

The medical out-of-pocket maximum is $4,000 individual/$8,000 family. This amount represents the most you will have to pay out of your own pocket in a calendar year for medical services. Once the out-of-pocket maximum has been satisfied, no additional medical copays will apply for the rest of the plan year. Note: Your prescription drug copays and coinsurance are subject to a separate out-of-pocket maximum ($1,500 individual/$3,000 family).

Not all expenses count toward your medical out-of-pocket maximum. Among those that do not count are:

When seeking primary care services, you should choose a provider from the PCPs in the directory of network providers. You may choose a pediatrician as the PCP for your covered child. Women may also select an OB/GYN without referral from their PCP. A directory of the providers who participate in the In-Network Only Plan network is available from the Claims Administrator. You may call or visit the Claims Administrator's website:

If you need the services of a specialist, you may seek care from an in-network specialist directly without a referral. You will pay a flat copay of $45 per visit.

Preventive care services are covered at 100% with no deductible to meet for the In-Network Only Plan. For additional information on what is considered to be preventive care, see "Your Medical Options."

Hospital care (inpatient and outpatient) received through a preferred provider is covered at 100% for covered services after the deductible has been met, after a copay of $400 inpatient/$200 outpatient. Precertification of an inpatient admission is required. Precertification is also required for certain outpatient procedures and services.

Services provided in a hospital emergency room are covered at 100% for covered services after the deductible has been met and after a $200 copay (even out of network).

When emergency care is necessary, please follow the guidelines below:

Urgent care centers are listed in the provider directory available on the Claims Administrators' websites. You do not need a referral or any precertification to use an urgent care center. Services provided by an urgent care center are generally covered at 100% for covered services after the deductible and the $45 copay has been met.

You may contact any physician or urgent care provider, in or out of network, for an urgent care condition if you cannot reach your physician. If you need help finding an urgent care provider, you may call Member Services at the toll-free number on your ID card, or you may access Aetna's online provider directory at www.aetna.com, or Anthem BlueCross BlueShield's Find Care tool at www.anthem.com/find-care. Follow-up care is not considered an emergency or urgent condition and is not covered as part of any emergency or urgent care visit. Once you have been treated and discharged, you should contact your physician for any necessary follow-up care.

An in-network provider contracts with the In-Network Only Plan Claims Administrator to participate in the network. Under the terms of this contract, an in-network provider may not charge you or the Claims Administrator for the balance of the charges above the contracted negotiated rate for covered services.

You may agree with the in-network provider to pay any charges for services or supplies not covered under the in-Network Only Plan or not approved by the In-Network Only Plan. In that case, the in-network provider may bill charges to you. However, these charges are not covered expenses under the In-Network Only Plan and are not payable by the Claims Administrator.
