5 Insurance plan delegates your care to a “medical group” (e.g. Sansum, SB Select IPA) Care is coordinated by a Primary Care Physician (PCP) and medical group Member selects PCP, PCP refers to specialists Predictable, low cost, copay for services - no deductibles Emergency and urgently needed care when away Health Net Blue & Gold HMO Kaiser HMO 5

6 6 Primary Care Physicians Specialists Labs Radiology Durable Medical Equip Urgent Care Hospitals When you need care go to your PCP PCP refers you to specialist, x-ray, lab, hospital HMO Medical Group Medical Group authorizes referrals to some specialists and treatment Access to Care

7 You direct your own care, you decide where to receive services You pay annual deductibles before plan pays After deductible, you share the cost of each service with the plan - coinsurance Your costs are lower if you select preferred providers “Out-of-pocket Maximum” limits your financial liability UC Care Blue Shield Health Savings Plan 7

11 11 You receive services You pay nothing at the time of service for in-network care Provider sends claim for services to health plan Health plan sends EOB Explanation of Benefits (EOB) outlines allowed charges, deductible and co-insurance. “This is not a bill”. Provider sends bill The bill should match the EOB. It should reflect the in-network discount and any payments received from health plan. You pay provider
