5 Insurance Terminology
Annual Deductible The amount you must pay for certain covered health services in a calendar year before the plan will begin paying for major medical benefits in that calendar year. Coinsurance The amount or percentage the plan (UHC) pays and you pay after the deductible is met. Maximum Out-of-Pocket The maximum amount of Annual Deductible and Coinsurance you pay every calendar year. Once you reach the Out-of-Pocket maximum, benefits are payable at 100% of Eligible Expenses during the rest of that calendar year. NOTE: These do not include benefits that are subject to copays.

17 Obtaining Referrals OR 1. 2. 3. You make an appointment with your PCP
You’re not feeling well. You make an appointment with your PCP Your PCP evaluates you. 2. Your PCP asks questions to try to understand what may be causing the illness. If necessary, your physician will order some tests. Once you select your primary care physician, he or she will be your first point of contact when you need care. So let’s assume you are not feeling well and you make an appointment with your primary care physician. Your primary care physician will provide most of your regular and routine care. This will include annual well visits and preventive care, as well as care for sickness or injury. Your primary care physician will see that you receive the highest quality of care at the right time. If your primary care physician feels that you need special care beyond what they can provide, they will help arrange it for you and will provide a referral to see a network physician or specialist. When you think about it, the referral process is a good thing – it’s not a barrier to care. You won’t have to worry about delays in care waiting for a specialist because your PCP can take care of most of your needs. If you do need a specialist, your PCP is there for you to make sure you see the right type of specialist and can help facilitate faster appointments or more immediate care, if needed. Based on the evaluation, your PCP may: 3. Provide a treatment plan and/or prescribe medications Refer you to a network specialist OR 17

30 Employee Testimonials
“I used it and it was great! My daughter seen an out-of network provider and I called Health Advocate to assist with the billing. The clinic worked with them and ended up writing off half of the bill. ” “I’ve used Health Advocate 2 or 3 times already.  I’ve used them to help interpret why a service either isn’t covered or isn’t covered fully and to help decipher the multiple bills that are sent sometimes when you have hospital services (i.e. hospital, doctor, anesthesiologist…they all get their own bill!)” ““I had a question about coverage for my son’s allergy shots.  I contacted Health Advocate & the question was answered right away from the source itself (United Health Care).  No long waits and I dealt only with customer service representatives (not automated computer-generated messages).  I will definitely contact them again.”
