53 Medical Plan Design 101 HMOPPOPLUS

54 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 54

55 55 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

OR Pay with another source (e.g. check, credit card) Give doctor’s office your Blue Shield card so BSC can…   process the claim and get you their special provider discounts and   send info about your amount of claim responsibility to Health Equity

59 59 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

60 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 60
