Primary Care Physician (PCP)—A doctor who serves as your health care manager and coordinates virtually all of the health care services you routinely receive. Some plans do not require you to choose a PCP.
Referral—Instructions provided by a PCP for specialty care. Most plans do not require referrals.
In-network coverage—The coverage available when you receive services from a provider who participates in your health plan.
Out-of-network coverage—The coverage available when you receive services from a provider who does not participate in your health plan. Some plans may not include out-of-network coverage.
Out-of-area—Describes when you receive services while outside the geographic service area of your health plan. Your plan benefits may differ if you live or work beyond the geographic service area.
Copay—A dollar amount due at the time you receive certain services. A typical example would be an office visit copay due when visiting your physician’s office for treatment.
Allowed Amount—The maximum amount your health plan will pay for a specific service. In-network providers agree to accept the allowed amount as payment in full.
Coinsurance—A cost-sharing method that requires you pay a portion of the allowed amount for certain medical services.
Deductible—A set dollar amount you pay for covered services you receive before your insurer will make a payment.
Out-of-pocket maximum—The maximum amount of deductible and coinsurance payments that you will pay for health services each calendar year.
To help you better understand our plans and your coverage, here are a few definitions* for frequently used health care terms.
Some definitions may vary slightly by plan. In case of a conflict between your legal plan documents and this information, the plan documents will govern.
