Payroll Deduction—Premiums are paid by convenient payroll deduction. Portable Accident and Critical Illness Coverage—Employees can continue through bank draft or direct billing as long as the master policy stays in force. 5

23 Questions? THANK YOU

Some services through Premera now require an authorization prior to receiving them. This allows you to:  Find out if you’re covered by your health benefits before you have your scheduled procedure  Save money & avoid extra costs  Get an estimate of your out-of-pocket costs before you go  Avoid inappropriate or unnecessary medical treatment

 Some services that require Prior Auth: › Planned admission into hospitals or skilled nursing facilities › Non-emergency ground or air ambulance transport › Transplant & donor services › Some planned outpatient services › Some injectable medications you get in a healthcare provider’s office › Prosthetics & orthotics other than foot orthotics or orthopedic shoes › Reconstructive surgery › Home medical equipment costing $500 or more ** This list is not complete. A more complete list can be found at premera.com.

 What should you do? › You should always ask your healthcare provider about requesting a prior authorization before you schedule a planned service or procedure. › Your doctor has the most current medical information needed to request a prior authorization on your behalf. › In-network (contracted) providers should call Premera for prior authorization

 What happens if I don’t get Prior Authorization? › Currently there is no penalty assessed for not getting a PA for medical services, but you may be responsible for the full cost of the procedure › If you have a procedure done by a contracted in-network provider that did not get prior authorization, the provider is responsible for the cost of the procedure › If you have a procedure done by a non-contracted (out of network) provider and did not get prior authorization, you may be responsible for the full cost of the precedure

 Whenever possible, use an in-network provider. You can find in-network providers at  Make your provider aware that Prior Authorization is required for some scheduled medical procedures.  In-network providers should not refuse to check for prior authorization for you

 Pharmacy Point of Sale is a review process Premera takes to make sure medications for certain conditions—such as migraines, diabetes, high blood pressure or asthma—meet certain requirements before your prescription is covered.

 When you go to the pharmacy to fill your prescription, the prescription is checked to see if it meets recommended guidelines › The system looks at prior claims to see if there has been a process of trial & failure on the generic forms of the drug  If there has been a trial & failure process, the Rx will be filled  If there has not been a trial & failure process on a generic form, the Rx will not be filled and the pharmacist or doctor will have to contact Premera

 Any current exceptions that are in place will remain in effect  Existing prescriptions for anti- depressants/hypnotics (sleep aids) will not go through the review process  New prescriptions for anti- depressants/hypnotics will have to go through the review process  If a member has already tried the generic version of specific medications, the prescription should process through

 CBJ & Bartlett members already do a good job of choosing generic medication over name brand › Generic fill rate of 80.1% › Generic substitution rate of 98.7%  Check to see if your medication requires review at: > Member Services > My Premera Plan > Pharmacy > Understanding Your Benefits > Drugs Requiring Approvalwww.premera.com

 Due to some changes in the Affordable Care Act, the CBJ/Bartlett Dental coverage will now be unbundled from the Medical/Vision Plan  There are no changes to the coverage  You will have to enroll in Dental Coverage separately from Medical/Vision  There is no additional cost to you

 Employee Benefit Enrollment will take place through the HR Employee Self- Service portal or in-person through HR  You can do this at work or from your home PC at: › humanResources/employeeportal.html

 Practice Prevention— the CBJ/Bartlett Health Plan covers preventive care visits at 100% when you go to an in-network provider. These visits are important because they can help catch something before it’s too late.  Choose an in-network provider— by choosing an in-network provider, you will have a lower out-of-pocket cost. This is because in-network providers agree to a lower negotiated fee for services.  Reduce unnecessary ER visits— the average cost of an ER visit to the CBJ/Bartlett health plan in was $ , while the average office visit was $ If you are unsure if you need to go to the ER, take advantage of Premera’s FREE 24-hour NurseLine. The number is It is also located on the back of your Premera ID card.  Buy Generic when available— this keeps pharmacy costs down for you and your health plan Do your part in keeping our health plan “healthy”!
