Aggregate - For services that are subject to the plan deductible, the entire Family Deductible must be satisfied before benefits are payable

4 BlueEdge High Deductible
Office Visit Claim In Network OFFICE VISIT Member has an office visit for Bronchitis and seeks services from their PCP BlueEdge High Deductible BlueOptions Total Charge: $300.00 Allowable Charge: $250.00 Deductible: $250.00 Member Responsibility: $250.00 Total Charge: $300.00 Allowable Charge: $250.00 Office Visit Copay: $30.00 Deductible: $0.00 Member Responsibility: $30.00 BlueEdge Plan - The members responsibility is $ because there is no office visit copayment on the plan. EVERYTHING, except preventative care will apply to the benefit period deductible before health insurance is paid.

5 BlueEdge High Deductible
Preventative Claim In Network OFFICE VISIT Member has a routine physical BlueEdge High Deductible BlueOptions Total Charge: $200.00 Allowable Charge: $175.00 Member Responsibility: $0.00 Total Charge: $200.00 Allowable Charge: $175.00 Member Responsibility: $0.00 Both plans cover preventative care at 100% of allowable charge. ***Preventative care is the ONLY type of services that will be covered at 100% of allowable when deductible and out of pocket have not been satisfied.

6 Taking a look at the Hospitalization Claim – Total Benefit Perspective BlueEdge Vs. BlueOptions
INPATIENT Member is inpatient and has employee only coverage. BlueEdge BlueOptions Total Charge: $30,000.00 Allowable Charge: $20,000.00 Deductible: $ 1,500.00 20% after Deductible: $ 2,500.00 BCBSOK Paid: $16,000.00 Member Responsibility: $ 4,000.00 Total Charge: $30,000.00 Allowable Charge: $20,000.00 Deductible: $ 20% after Deductible: $3,500.00 BCBSOK Paid: $16,000.00 Member Responsibility: $ 4,250.00 In this scenario, the member is out of pocket less money because the member out of pocket is lower on the BlueOptions Plan for Employee Only Coverage.

7 Hospitalization In-Network
OFFICE VISIT Member is inpatient and has Family Coverage. No other member has had any claims process for the current year. BlueOptions BlueEdge High Deductible Total Charge: $30,000.00 Allowable Charge: $20,000.00 Deductible: $ 3,000.00 20% after Deductible: $ 5,000.00 BCBSOK Paid: $12,000.00 Member Responsibility: $ 8,000.00 Total Charge: $30,000.00 Allowable Charge: $20,000.00 Deductible: $ 20% after Deductible: $ 5,000.00 BCBSOK Paid: $15,750.00 Member Responsibility: $ 4,250.00 BlueEdge Plan – The provider can bill the member $3,000 at the time of service when they verify benefit coverage during the admissions process. Family deductible is aggregate which means the entire deductible must be met prior to any payment by BCBSOK. BlueOptions – The provider can bill $ at the time of service when they verify benefits coverage during the admission process. Family deductible is embedded, unlike the BlueEdge High Deductible plan, the individual only has to meet their individual deductible and out of pocket maximum amounts.

8 Pharmacy Claim Member fills a brand name prescription at the pharmacy.
BlueEdge High Deductible BlueOptions Total Charge: $175.00 Allowable Charge: $125.00 Deductible: $125.00 Member Responsibility: $125.00 Total Charge: $175.00 Allowable Charge: $125.00 Copayment: $ Member Responsibility: $50.00 BlueEdge Plan The member will receive a discount at the time of purchase at the pharmacy. There is no copayment for the BlueEdge plan so the member will be required to pay the entire discounted amount at the time of purchase. The claim is transmitted to BCBSOK to apply to the deductible. When the deductible is satisfied, then the member would only be required to pay 20% at the time of purchase.
