Show your membership card Think of your membership card as your passport to care. Show it every time you see a provider or fill a prescription.
Welcome!
Thank you for choosing HMSA. We deeply appreciate your trust and promise that we’ll always be here for you.
Your good health is our top priority. We’ll work with your doctor to keep you healthy and do all we can to get you compassionate care when you need it.
There’s a lot to think about as you get started with your new plan. And we know you’re busy. We’ll get you the information you need in plain-and-simple language the way you want it, whether it’s on paper, over the phone, or online. This booklet will help you get started.
Establish a relationship with your provider Your relationship with your doctor is important. It’s a partnership that can last for many years. Your doctor works with you to maintain your good health and treat medical conditions, illnesses, or injuries.
Choose participating providers Choose providers from HMSA’s large network, which includes Hawaii physicians, hospitals, dentists, pharmacies, and other health care providers. Our participating providers go through a credentialing process, meet criteria for providing care, file claims, and accept your copayment and HMSA’s reimbursement as payment in full for covered services.
For most covered services, you can also see licensed providers who don’t participate with HMSA. However, you accept more risk when you get care from nonparticipating providers. For example, they may not file a claim for you or handle precertification. And since they don’t agree to accept HMSA’s reimbursement as payment in full, you must pay the difference when the bill is more than the eligible charge. That means you may pay more if you receive care from nonparticipating providers.
Use HMSA’s Find a Doctor tool online at hmsa.com. The online directory has current information about participating providers, including primary care providers, specialists, hospitals, urgent care centers, and other care facilities. Or, if you prefer, call us. We’re happy to help.

With the BlueCard program, you’ll have access to Blue Cross and Blue Shield doctors across the U.S. Mainland and in more than 200 countries and territories around the world. See your Guide to Benefits for more information.
Get help fast from a doctor with Online Care No appointment, no waiting, no hassle. HMSA’s Online Care makes it easy to talk to a doctor immediately, wherever you are in Hawaii. Go to hmsaonlinecare.com to learn more.
Understand what your plan covers You have comprehensive coverage with your plan, but don’t assume everything is covered. This booklet provides an overview, but it’s only a summary. It isn’t a complete explanation of benefits. Coverage decisions are based on the terms and conditions of your plan, including specific exclusions and limitations, not all of which are described in this booklet.
For a complete description of benefits, see your Guide to Benefits (available on request and online). The Guide to Benefits is a written description of your plan, and any riders or certificates and amendments. It includes important information about your plan benefits, limitations, and exclusions.
Other important notesEligible charge vs. actual charge HMSA is always looking for ways to help slow rising health care costs for everyone in Hawaii. Setting an eligible charge for services is one way we do that. Eligible charge is a cap on the total amount we pay for covered services. It’s often less than the actual charge or the amount a provider would bill patients for medical services and supplies. Participating providers agree to accept the eligible charge as the most they’ll collect for covered services.
The actual charge for providers who don’t contract with HMSA is often higher than HMSA’s eligible charge. If you receive services from a nonparticipating provider and the actual charge is more than the eligible charge, you owe the difference. The difference, in some cases, can be a lot.
Precertification Some care requires advance approval from HMSA. When services are provided by participating providers, they take care of precertification for you. If you get care from a nonparticipating provider, you’re responsible for getting precertification approval. For a complete list of care that requires precertification, see Chapter 5: Precertification in your Guide to Benefits.
Subsidy Information The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires us to let you know that a portion of your invoice includes the amount necessary to cover services required to be segregated under Section 1303 of the ACA. This applies to your 2015 plan and may apply to your 2016 plan if you qualify for a subsidy. Visit this link for more information: law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/45/156.280.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires that all individual health plans include pediatric dental benefits as an essential health benefit.
* Members ages 19-20 will be charged $39.37, but aren’t eligible for plan benefits.
1 Pediatric benefits apply to members ages 0–18.
2 Applies to preventive, basic, and major services.
3 Amount you’re responsible for varies based on if the provider is a participating or nonparticipating network provider in HMSA’s Preferred Provider Network. In addition, you may owe the difference between the amount billed by your provider and the eligible charge when services are received from a nonparticipating provider or if you choose a high-cost procedure.
4 These services are covered under the major category. A waiting period may apply. Please refer to the Dental Guide to Benefits for more information on benefits.
Some pediatric services require prior authorization to ensure certain treatments, procedures, or devices meet the payment determination criteria before the service is rendered. Please refer to the Dental Guide to Benefits at hmsa.com/dental for complete information on benefits and provisions.

Our process for paying a claimTo avoid unexpected fees, please review how we decide if a claim is payable.
The process shown assumes:
• We receive a claim. • Your plan is active at the time you receive services. • Another party or another plan is not responsible for payment. • You haven’t reached a benefit maximum. A benefit maximum is a frequency,
duration, or visit limit that applies to some covered services or supplies. If you reach a benefit maximum during the calendar year, coverage for that service or supply ends until the next calendar year.
• You haven’t met your copayment maximum (also known as out-of-pocket maximum) for the year.
When you don’t agree If you wish to dispute a decision made by HMSA related to coverage, reimbursement, or any other decision or action by HMSA, ask for an appeal in writing (unless you’re asking for an expedited appeal). Send the appeal within one year from the date of the action or decision you’re contesting. In the case of coverage or reimbursement disputes, this is one year from the date we first informed you of the denial or limitation of your claim, or of the denial of coverage for any requested service or supply.
For more information, see Chapter 8 of your Guide to Benefits. We’re also happy to help you over the phone at 948-5090 or 1 (800) 462-2085 toll-free.
