Helpful transition tips for your clients
Please share these tips with all of your clients changing insurance plans
Until the new insurance plan has been approved, please make sure your clients are aware of the following:
Emergency Care –In case of an emergency situation, your client should call 911 or go to the nearest in-network hospital* for their new plan and pay cashor use a credit card for any incurred fees. Once their group is approved by the carrier, they can request reimbursement (less their plan’semergency room co-payment). Also remind clients to keep a record of their payment for submission to the carrier. Some plans waive theemergency room co-payment if the patient is admitted to the hospital directly from the emergency room. Important: The diagnosis by theemergency room physician must meet the carrier’s definition of a true emergency in order to receive any reimbursement.
* If your client is taken by car or ambulance to a non-network hospital because it’s within closer proximity than an in-network hospital, the new carrier must be notified within24-48 hours. Please have them call their company’s insurance contact person or you, the broker, if they need assistance with this notification process.
Continuity of Care/Completion of Covered Services – If your client or their enrolling spouse is pregnant or your client is undergoing treatment for an acute condition, a serious chronic conditionor terminal illness, it is important that they notify their company’s designated insurance contact person or you as soon as possible soyou can assist them with submitting the continuity of care form to the carrier if their situation meets this law’s criteria and the carrier’sprogram guidelines.
Doctor Office Visit –Some offices will allow the patient to sign a waiver and pay for the visit up front. Remind your client to keep record of their payment forsubmission to the carrier along with their reimbursement form once they have their new ID number. If your client is a current patient, somedoctors will agree to bill the new insurance carrier once the patient gets their new insurance ID number and will have them pay only theoffice visit co-pay for their new plan. It is best to call the office before their appointment and explain their situation so they know what thepayment procedures are in advance. If this visit can be postponed without adverse consequences to their health, they may want to considerrescheduling their appointment for a later date when they have their new ID number.
Prescriptions –Clients should refill maintenance prescriptions prior to the effective date for their new coverage. For example, they should refill a maintenancehigh blood pressure medication no later than 12/31 for new coverage that will be effective 1/1. If they need to fill a prescription on or afterthe effective date for their new coverage, but they do not have their new ID number yet, they can pay for the prescription at the pharmacyand then request reimbursement from the carrier once they receive their new ID number. For reimbursement, they must submit thepharmacy receipt that includes the name of the drug & dosage rather than only the cash register receipt. If they paid for the prescription bycredit or debit card, and return to the pharmacy with their ID number within 7-10 business days, some pharmacies will credit anyoverpayment back to their account. This is the fastest way for them to get their money back. When a medication is expensive, somepharmacies will work with the client by allowing them to buy a smaller amount (Ex: 10-day supply). When the client returns to pick up theremaining balance of their 30-day supply, the appropriate payment adjustment will be made once they show the pharmacy their new IDnumber. Some brand name drugs have generic equivalents that are much more cost effective. You or your client can find out if theirprescription medication is name brand or generic (and the co-pay amount) by using the carrier’s Web site RX search. For your clients’convenience, Web site addresses are included on the other side of this sheet.
Once the plan is approved and your clients’ employees have received their new membership cards:
• They should carry their membership card at all times. It is important for them to show their new ID card to their doctor during theirfirst visit after their new insurance plan becomes effective.
• Your clients should always make sure they use an in-network doctor or an in-network hospital in order to maximize their coverageand prevent significant gaps in coverage and/or higher out of pocket expenses.
• You should encourage your clients to review all of the benefit descriptions they received during enrollment including their Explanationof Benefits booklet (which the carrier mails to their home address) so they are familiar with their co-payments and covered procedures.
• Ensure they are aware of which procedures will require prior authorization in their plan documents. Remember that proceduresauthorized with their previous carrier may require pre-authorization with their new carrier. Each carrier has their own criteria, so anauthorization by one carrier does not guarantee authorization by another carrier in all circumstances.
• For any additional questions, your client should call Member Services (see other side of this sheet or their ID card for the phone number).

GARDASIL is a vaccine against the HPV or Human Papillomavirus. The GARDASIL vaccine protects recipients against 4 types of HPV, including the two types that cause mostcervical cancers and the two types that cause the most genital warts.
GARDASIL is for girls and women ages 9 to 26. GARDASIL works when given before you have any contact with HPV Types 6, 11, 16, and 18. GARDASIL will be given as athree dose series completed over 6 months. The retail price of the vaccine is $120 per dose ($360 for full series).
Federal health programs such as Vaccines for Children (VFC) will cover the HPV vaccine. The VFC program provides free vaccines to children and teens under 19 years of age,who are either uninsured, Medicaid-eligible, American Indian, or Alaska Native. There are over 45,000 sites that provide VFC vaccines, including hospitals, private clinics, andpublic clinics. The VFC Program also allows children and teens to get VFC vaccines through Federally Qualified Health Centers or Rural Health Centers, if their private healthinsurance does not cover the vaccine.
Answers to frequently asked questions about the vaccine:
Quadrivalent HPV Vaccine (Brand Name: Gardasil)X - Approved under Medical Benefit rather than Prescription Drug because it is a vaccine series administered by a physician.Before starting this vaccine series, the parent or member should check the immunization age guidelines for their plan design to be sure the patient meets the age criteria

These products are designed to cover some of the things a healthinsurance policy may not and to supplement any coveragereceived through an employer. The products are guaranteed issueat initial enrollment – meaning no medical questions are required.
Group Voluntary Term LifeThis program offers Group Voluntary Term Life for the enrollee,their spouse and dependent children. It is meant to supplementany coverage one may already have through their employer byproviding valuable life insurance coverage at an affordable cost.This coverage is ideal for those who want to protect their families,but may not need a permanent Life Policy. For convenience,premiums are payroll deducted.
Group Voluntary Term Life Insurance is designed to providecoverage for a specified time and provides the ability for anenrollee to choose a plan for themselves or the entire family. Thelump sum benefit can help offset final burial expenses or costsincurred as life events happen.
An insured or their family members may use term life insurance to:
Pay off a mortgage or other outstanding debtsProvide for childcare or educational expensesReplace income to continue the same standard of living
Additional Benefit CoverageThe Waiver of Premium and Accelerated Death Benefit are includedwith the Group Voluntary Term Life coverage. Each benefitenhances the basic coverage and can help with expensesassociated with disability or terminal illness.
Waiver of PremiumIf an insured becomes disabled prior to age 60 and the disabilitylasts for 6 months or longer, they will not be required to paypremiums for as long as the disability lasts or until they reach age65, whichever occurs first, provided the group policy remains inforce.
Accelerated Death BenefitIf an insured or spouse are diagnosed with terminal illness (definedas less than 12 months to live), this benefit pays a portion of thetotal face amount up to 50%. The remaining life insurance benefitis paid upon death of the insured.
Benefit Reduction ScheduleReduction in group insurance amounts will apply at older ages,according to the following schedule:
Insured’s Attained Age Reduction to x% of OriginalCoverage
70 65%75 50%80 35%
If the insured does not enroll during their open enrollment period,they may enroll later during the annual re-enrollment period.However, they must submit evidence of insurability with theirenrollment form.
Continuation of CoverageThe insured has the option, when no longer eligible for coverage,to continue coverage at group rates up to age 70, so long as thegroup policy remains in force.
Group Voluntary Critical IllnessGroup Voluntary Critical Illness insurance pays a lump-sum benefitupon diagnosis of a covered critical illness or condition. Havingsupplemental Critical Illness insurance can help lessen financialimpact to the wallet. It allows the insured to concentrate ongetting better, rather than spending time and energy worryingabout how to pay the bills.
The lump-sum benefit for each category of coverage helps to:
Pay for treatments not covered under medical insuranceSpend precious time with family and friendsPay for mortgage and other expenses
Traditional health insurance is valuable, but often has limits.Because medical treatments and technology are advancing daily,people are living longer with major illnesses or disease. This canbe very costly. Financial hardship can happen, due to indirectmedical expenses that health and disability insurance doesn’tcover. Group Voluntary Critical Illness insurance is a strongsupplement to current health and disability insurance coverage.
The insured may choose either a $5,000 or $10,000 basic benefitamount. Depending on the basic benefit amount selected, up to100% of the basic benefit amount will be payable in each of threebenefit categories; Coronary Artery By-Pass Surgery, Alzheimer’sDisease and Carcinoma in Situ pay 25% of the benefit amount.
Group Voluntary AccidentGroup Voluntary Accident Insurance offers the insured and theirfamily coverage against sudden accidental injuries that can occurwithout warning. It protects the insured and their family 24-hours aday, seven days a week, both on- or off-the-job.
Each pre-packaged plan doesn’t just cover the insured; if theychoose, it also covers their dependents (which can include spouseand dependent children). This valuable coverage can helpsupplement traditional medical insurance. Traditional medicalinsurance is valuable, but may limit coverage during anunexpected accidental injury.
The insured and each covered family member can be sure they willreceive:
· A lump sum benefit, in case the accident leads to death or dismemberment
· 24-7 protection for accidental injuries**· Benefit coverage that goes where you go**
Unexpected accidents can also mean unexpected out-of-pocketexpenses. Hospital stays, medical or surgical treatments,dislocations or fractures, and transportation by air or groundambulance can add up quickly and be very costly. This GroupVoluntary Accident Insurance helps offset some of these expensesso that the insured’s finances remain healthy.
**Treatment must be obtained in the U.S. or its territories.
If a covered person sustains an injury which results in a coveredloss within 90 days from the date of an accident, while coverage isin force, Allstate Workplace Division will pay the benefits as statedin the benefits provisions.
