HELPFUL TERMS Words commonly used in health care

Health care lingo can be confusing. Here are some terms you might need to know.

Claim: A request for payment that you or your health care provider submits to your health insurance company after you receive services. Coinsurance: Your share of the costs for a covered health care service, calculated as a percentage. You pay coinsurance plus any deductibles you owe. For example, say your health plan’s allowed amount for an office visit is $100 and you’ve met your deductible. Your coinsurance payment of 20 percent would be $20. Your health plan pays the rest of the allowed amount. Copayment: The fixed amount (for example, $15) you pay for a covered health care service, usually when you receive the service. The amount can vary, depending on the provider and the type of health care service. Deductible: The amount you pay for services received before your health plan begins to pay. For example, if your deductible is $1,000, your health plan will not pay for covered services until you’ve paid $1,000 toward your covered health care expenses. After that, your health plan will pay for all covered services in that benefit year. Network: The facilities, providers and suppliers your health plan contracts with to provide health care services. You will typically pay less for services received in network versus out of network. Out of pocket: Your costs for medical care expenses that aren’t reimbursed by insurance. Out-of-pocket costs include deductibles, coinsurance and copayments for covered services, plus costs for services that aren’t covered. Subscriber: The person who enrolls in a health plan. There is only one subscriber per health plan. The subscriber can add eligible dependents to a family health plan. Preauthorization/prior authorization: A decision verifying that a service, prescription drug or type of treatment is medically necessary. Certain services and medications require preauthorization before you receive them, except in an emergency.

Premium: The amount you pay for your health plan, usually biweekly or monthly. Primary care physician (PCP): The main doctor and primary contact for your health care services. Specialist: A doctor or health care professional who focuses on a specific area of medicine. For example, orthopedic surgeons, dermatologists and cardiologists are specialists. Telehealth: Allows a patient to connect with a health care provider with virtual visits through an electronic device such as a smartphone or computer. Licensed telehealth providers offer non-emergency consultations for a variety of conditions and can prescribe medication, when appropriate.

WHERE SHOULD YOU GO WHEN YOU NEED CARE?

Your primary care physician should be your first call for routine medical care. But what if your doctor’s office is closed? Or it may be an emergency?

Here are tips to help you choose the right type of care for various situations:

Doctor’s Office

Urgent Care Center

Emergency Room

Your primary care physician, or regular doctor, is the best option for routine medical care like: ♦ Annual checkups, physicals ♦ Health screenings, immunizations ♦ Prescription refills And unexpected health issues, if they can wait a day, like: ♦ Sprained muscles ♦ Minor cuts and bruises ♦ Cold and flu symptoms, including fever, coughing, sore throat and mild nausea ♦ Sinus or respiratory infections ♦ Urinary tract infections ♦ Seasonal allergies ♦ Pinkeye ♦ Migraines ♦ Rashes, insect bites, sunburn, other skin irritations

If you can’t wait for an appointment with your regular doctor, an urgent care center may be your best option for unexpected health issues like: ♦ Minor fractures and sprains, especially if an X-ray is required ♦ Minor cuts and animal bites, especially if stitches may be required ♦ Cold and flu symptoms, including fever, coughing, sore throat and mild nausea ♦ Sinus or respiratory infections ♦ Urinary tract infections ♦ Seasonal allergies ♦ Pinkeye ♦ Migraines ♦ Rashes, insect bites, sunburn and other skin irritations

Go to the ER or call 911 for potentially life-threatening conditions like:

♦ Heavy, uncontrolled bleeding ♦ Signs of a heart attack, like chest pain that lasts more than two minutes ♦ Signs of stroke, such as numbness, sudden loss of speech or vision ♦ Loss of consciousness or sudden dizziness ♦ Major injuries such as broken bones or head trauma ♦ Coughing up or vomiting blood ♦ Severe allergic reactions

TOTAL CARE Better care, outcomes and costs

Total Care is a national Blue Cross Blue Shield program that recognizes doctors and hospitals that are committed to improving health care for patients.

What’s different about Total Care doctors? Doctors and hospitals with Total Care designation have access to enhanced technology and information that can improve the way they care for patients. A Total Care team might include a primary care doctor, pharmacist, care coordinator and a dietitian. Who should use a Total Care doctor? Anyone can choose a doctor with Total Care designation. The team-based approach is especially helpful for people with chronic health conditions like high blood pressure, heart failure or diabetes. How does Total Care benefit you? ♦ Care is personalized and consistent. You will see a member of your care team who knows you and your medical history. ♦ Results of your medical procedures are shared with members of your team so they have a complete picture of your health. ♦ Total Care’s improved screenings, medication management and other programs help provide better outcomes and lower costs for patients.

To find Total Care doctors and hospitals:

Log in to My Health Toolkit and select the

Resources tab ♦ Click Find a Doctor or Hospital ♦ Enter your location and the specialty type, then click Search ♦ On the left side, click Total Care

Or call the number on the back of your membership card to talk to a customer service advocate.

Smart health care consumers check their EOBs! EXPLANATION OF BENEFITS

Doctors’ bills can be complicated — and then you get an email saying there’s an Explanation of Benefits to look at. But don’t skip your EOB or just stash it away. It’s pretty simple, and an important way to stay on top of your health care spending.

What is an EOB? Whenever you use your health insurance, we send you an Explanation of Benefits. It shows you: ♦ How much the doctor charged. ♦ How much your health plan paid. ♦ The amount applied toward your deductible. ♦ How much you may still owe. Why look at your EOB? When you eat out, you at least glance at the bill before paying, right? Double-checking your medical expenses is even more important. You can: ♦ Compare your doctor and hospital bills with the EOB to make sure you’re being billed — and paying — the correct amount. ♦ Share your EOB with your provider if you notice any differences. Check your EOBs easily in My Health Toolkit® We make it simple, through your health plan’s website or our My Health Toolkit app. ♦ Log in to My Health Toolkit and select the Benefits tab. ♦ Click Claims Status , then “View Your Summary Explanation of Benefits.” ♦ To see a particular claim, check the Claims Status List or search by date or claim number. ♦ On the My Health Toolkit mobile app, just click on the Claims tab and select a specific claim to view your EOB.

MAKE SURE YOU’RE COVERED Why coordination of benefits is important

Do you have other health insurance? Coordination of benefits — COB, for short — affects your benefits when you or a family member also is covered under another health insurance plan. COB makes sure the right plan processes your claims first. It prevents overpayments and duplication of services. And that helps keep costs down for everyone.

Examples of other insurance: These may include coverage under a spouse’s insurance plan, Medicaid or Medicare. What you need to do: Be sure we have up-to-date information about your other insurance. That way we can process your claims correctly and promptly. ♦ If you receive an Other Health Insurance Questionnaire in the mail, fill it out and return it right away. Even if you do not have coverage with another health plan, we need to know that, too.

You also can give us this information by logging in to My Health Toolkit . Select the Benefits tab, then Other Health Coverage . ♦ Or call the number on the back of your membership card and provide the information to a customer service advocate. We appreciate your help with this.

♦ You also may be able to get coverage if you have a new dependent because of marriage, birth, adoption or placement for adoption. Again, you must request enrollment within 30 days of the event. Please note that you may have been required to provide a written statement when you declined enrollment with us. If you did not provide this written statement, this health plan is not required to grant special enrollment rights to you or your dependents. For more information, contact your employer’s benefit department.

Getting benefits after you have declined coverage Special enrollment rights may apply to you, your spouse or other dependents even after you have declined coverage. ♦ For example, you might have declined coverage because other health insurance or another group health plan was in effect. Later, you may want to seek coverage with this plan if you or your dependents became ineligible for the other coverage or the employer stopped contributing to the other coverage. You must request our coverage within 30 days after this other coverage ends OR after the employer contribution stops.

Link up with AccrueHealth through your My Health Toolkit. You can view your account balance, submit claims, store receipts and much more An HSA is a special savings account that allows you to set aside pretax or after-tax funds for future medical and retirement expenses. You can invest these funds in your choice of stocks or mutual funds or manage the HSA like a traditional savings account. A qualified bank, financial institution or t ustee can administer your HSA. Y u can use your HSA funds to pay your first medical expenses, including office visits, prescriptions and other health care costs. The amount you spend from the HSA for covered medical expenses counts toward your health plan deductible. Once you meet the deductible, the health plan coverage kicks in, and you are only responsible for coinsurance payments. Health Savings Account (HSA) MEDICAL SPENDING ACCOUNTS employer deposits a set amount of money into a tax-free account, which you can use to pay for medical expenses. In addition to the HRA, your employer offers a traditional health plan to cover other medical bills. For a complete list of eligible and ineligible HRA expenses, consult your Human Resources department. Or visit the Internal Revenue Service website at www.irs.gov and view Publication 502. Flexible Spending Account (FSA) FSAs are designed to help you save money by paying for qualified medical or dependent care expenses on a tax-free basis. An FSA lets you set aside pretax funds from each paycheck. Those funds must be used to pay for qualified expenses incurred during the benefits period. For a complete list of eligible and ineligible FSA expenses, consult your Human Resources department. Or visit the Internal Revenue Service website at www.irs.gov and view Publication 502. Dependent Care FSA This type of flexible spending account allows you to use the pretax funds in your account to cover nonmedical costs for a dependent who is under age 13, mentally or physically disabled, or elderly. Examples of these costs include day care, after-school care and summer camps. Your Human Resources department can provide details. Limited Purpose FSA Limited Purpose FSAs are designed to help you save money by paying for qualified dental and vision care expenses on a tax-free basis. Limited Purpose FSAs allow you to set aside pretax funds from each paycheck. Those funds must be used to pay for qualified expenses incurred during the benefits period. Consult your Human Resources department for a list of qualified expenses specific to your company’s Limited Purpose FSA.

YOUR HEALTH CARE FSA Flexible solutions to enhance your health, save you money

Regular checkups, generic medications, comparing costs … they’re all good ways to make the most of your health care dollars. Here’s another good way: using a medical flexible spending account (FSA).

Setting up an FSA is easy through AccrueHealth, our administrator for these accounts. It lets you set aside money for health-related expenses your insurance plan does not cover — like an extra pair of eyeglasses, LASIK surgery and copayments for medical or dental services. And you save money by designating pretax earnings for your FSA. Here are the basics: ♦ You set up your payroll deduction for an FSA during open enrollment. Note: These accounts are not for members who choose a consumer-driven health plan (CDHP). ♦ You can designate a maximum of $2,750 of your pretax earnings for your FSA. The full amount will be available to you at the beginning of your benefit year and you will see pretax payroll deductions each pay period.

How does an FSA save you money? There are no payroll or federal income taxes on the money you shift into your FSA. You’ve lowered your total taxable income — and you can use the money you save

to enhance your health. Online & mobile access

Link up with AccrueHealth through My Health Toolkit (web or mobile) or through the AccrueHealth mobile app. You can view your FSA balance, submit claims, store receipts and much more.

More about FSAs

FSA-eligible expenses include: Medical, vision and dental copayments and deductibles Vision, hearing and physical exams Prescription drugs Orthodontics Acupuncture treatments Experimental medical therapies

Ineligible expenses include: Nonprescription drugs, except for insulin Vitamins and dietary supplements Health spa visits Fitness center dues Cosmetic surgery Hair removal, hair transplants Teeth whitening Medicines from other countries

Ambulance services Alcoholism treatment LASIK surgery Wheelchairs

FSA tips

♦ You may change the payroll election amount only if you experience a major life change, such as: ♦ Marriage, divorce or separation ♦ Death of a spouse or dependent child ♦ Change in spouse’s employment status ♦ Birth, adoption or legal guardianship of a child

♦ For more on federal requirements and what can be covered by FSA funds, see Publication 502 at www.IRS.gov . ♦ For more on your employer’s FSA program, contact your Human Resources department. Important: There’s a “use it or lose it” IRS rule for FSAs. If you don’t submit qualifying expenses to use up your balance by the end of the plan year, you lose the funds that are left.
