3 Open Access Plus Plan Medical Plan Choice and Convenience
Your option to select a Primary Care Physician; however we encourage you to have a relationship with a doctor Save the most when you visit in-network doctors and facilities Freedom to visit any licensed provider with no referrals Access to a nationwide network of doctors and hospitals CHOICE CONVENIENCE a perfect balance The CIGNA DPPO plan offers a perfect balance of savings and choice. You and your covered family members have convenient access to quality dental care through our nationwide network of dentists — dentists who have agreed to offer their services to our members at reduced contracted fees. Or, you have the option to visit any licensed dentist and receive out-of-network benefits. You also have the freedom to choose any specialist without a referral. Whether you choose a dentist in the CIGNA Dental Core Network or outside the network, your coverage includes a wide range of eligible services after you satisfy any waiting period and meet your deductible. Your plan will pay part of your costs (shown by the coinsurance amount on your Benefit Summary) until your plan’s annual maximum is reached.

9 HOW ARE MY MEDICAL CLAIMS PAID?
Medical claim payment process Cigna updates quarterly Health Statement; sends alert or mails to your home, based on preference setting. Sick visit to an in-network doctor/hospital/facility. Show Cigna Choice Fund ID card to obtain Cigna discounted rates. Cigna provides an Explanation of Benefits or EOB (“receipt”) showing: Doctor’s fee, Cigna discount, amount billed, amount deducted from the HSA, amount paid to doctor, remaining HSA balance, and what you saved. Doctor bills Cigna. If Auto Claim Forwarding was elected, Cigna automatically subtracts the amount owed to the doctor from your HSA and pays the doctor. If no Auto Claim Forwarding in place, you have the option to pay the doctor bill using your HSA (debit card/ checkbook) or pay out of pocket. Cigna receives the claim and processes it based on the HSA- qualified plan deductible, covered expenses and Cigna-negotiated discounts. Confidential, unpublished property of Cigna.

10 AM I ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE IN AN HSA PLAN?
