<strong>Anthem</strong> Blue Cross: <strong>80</strong>-G $20; Rx 9-35 Coverage Period: 10/01/2013 – 09/30/2014Summary of Benefits and Coverage: What this Plan Covers & What it Costs Coverage for: Individual/Family | Plan Type: <strong>PPO</strong> Copayments are fixed dollar amounts (for example, $15) you pay for covered health care, usually when you receive the service. Coinsurance is your share of the costs of a covered service, calculated as a percent of the allowed amount for the service. For example, ifthe plan’s allowed amount for an overnight hospital stay is $1,000, your coinsurance payment of 20% would be $200. This may change ifyou haven’t met your deductible. The amount the plan pays for covered services is based on the allowed amount. If an out-of-network provider charges more than theallowed amount, you may have to pay the difference. For example, if an out-of-network hospital charges $1,500 for an overnight stay andthe allowed amount is $1,000, you may have to pay the $500 difference. (This is called balance billing.) This plan may encourage you to use in-network providers by charging you lower deductibles, copayments and coinsurance amounts.CommonMedical EventIf you visit a healthcare provider’s officeor clinicIf you have a testServices You May NeedPrimary care visit to treat an injury orillnessSpecialist visitYour Cost If YouUse anIn-networkProvider$20/visit$20/visitYour Cost If YouUse anOut-of-networkProviderBilled chargesexceeding out-ofnetworkfee scheduleBilled chargesexceeding out-ofnetworkfee scheduleChiropractorBilled chargesexceeding out-ofnetworkfee scheduleAcupuncturist0% coinsurance with$25/visit maxLimitations & ExceptionsDeductible applies to out-ofnetwork.Deductible applies to out-ofnetwork.Other practitioner office visitChiropractor20% coinsuranceafter deductibleAcupuncturist20% coinsuranceafter deductible with$50/visit maxChiropractorMedical necessity review is requiredafter the 5 th visit.AcupunctureCoverage is limited to 12 visits,combined in and out-of-network anddeductible applies.Preventive care/screening/immunization No Cost Share Not Covered –––––––––––none–––––––––––Diagnostic test (x-ray, blood work)Imaging (CT/PET scans, MRIs)20% coinsuranceafter deductible20% coinsuranceafter deductibleBilled chargesexceeding out-ofnetworkfee schedule0% coinsurance with$<strong>80</strong>0/test max–––––––––––none–––––––––––Coverage is limited to $<strong>80</strong>0 for outof-networkproviders.Questions: Call 1-855-333-5730 or visit us at www.anthem.com/ca/sisc .

<strong>Anthem</strong> Blue Cross: <strong>80</strong>-G $20; Rx 9-35 Coverage Period: 10/01/2013 – 09/30/2014Summary of Benefits and Coverage: What this Plan Covers & What it Costs Coverage for: Individual/Family | Plan Type: <strong>PPO</strong>Questions and answers about the Coverage Examples:What are some of theassumptions behind theCoverage Examples?Costs don’t include premiums.Sample care costs are based on nationalaverages supplied by the U.S.Department of Health and HumanServices, and aren’t specific to aparticular geographic area or health plan.The patient’s condition was not anexcluded or preexisting condition.All services and treatments started andended in the same coverage period.There are no other medical expenses forany member covered under this plan.Out-of-pocket expenses are based onlyon treating the condition in the example.The patient received all care from innetworkproviders. If the patient hadreceived care from out-of-networkproviders, costs would have been higher.What does a Coverage Exampleshow?For each treatment situation, the CoverageExample helps you see how deductibles,copayments, and coinsurance can add up. Italso helps you see what expenses might be leftup to you to pay because the service ortreatment isn’t covered or payment is limited.Does the Coverage Examplepredict my own care needs? No. Treatments shown are just examples.The care you would receive for thiscondition could be different based on yourdoctor’s advice, your age, how serious yourcondition is, and many other factors.Does the Coverage Examplepredict my future expenses?No. Coverage Examples are not costestimators. You can’t use the examples toestimate costs for an actual condition. Theyare for comparative purposes only. Yourown costs will be different depending onthe care you receive, the prices yourproviders charge, and the reimbursementyour health plan allows.Can I use Coverage Examplesto compare plans?Yes. When you look at the Summary ofBenefits and Coverage for other plans,you’ll find the same Coverage Examples.When you compare plans, check the“Patient Pays” box in each example. Thesmaller that number, the more coveragethe plan provides.Are there other costs I shouldconsider when comparingplans?Yes. An important cost is the premiumyou pay. Generally, the lower yourpremium, the more you’ll pay in out-ofpocketcosts, such as copayments,deductibles, and coinsurance. Youshould also consider contributions toaccounts such as health savings accounts(HSAs), flexible spending arrangements(FSAs) or health reimbursement accounts(HRAs) that help you pay out-of-pocketexpenses.Questions: Call 1-855-333-5730 or visit us at www.anthem.com/ca/sisc .
