In-networkNetworks are groups of medical, dental, and vision providers,pharmacies, and facilities that agree to discount the cost of their careor service. In-network care is always your lowest-cost option. Out-of-network providers can charge you whatever amount they deem fair,typically much higher than in network.DeductibleThe amount you’re responsible for paying in care expenses before themedical or dental plan starts sharing in the cost of your medical andpharmacy (if applicable) expenses.Out-of-pocket maximumThe most you’ll pay for covered medical and pharmacy care in a year.This includes your deductible and any coinsurance or copays. The out-of-pocket maximum does not include your premium (the amount youpay for coverage) and non-covered expenses.CoinsuranceAfter you’ve met your deductible, you’re sometimes responsible for apercentage of the cost of the medical care, dental care, or prescriptionmedication you received. This percentage is coinsurance.Primary care physicianA primary care physician (PCP) is your main medical doctor – usually ageneral practitioner (GP), family doctor, internal medicine, orpediatrician (for children). A PCP is required on HMO plans. If you donot list a PCP, one will be automatically assigned for you.CopayA flat fee you pay each time you receive a copay-eligible medical,dental, or vision service or prescription medication. Referral/pre-authorizationSome specialty medical providers/services and prescriptions requireadditional supporting information from your doctor. Examples include- but are not limited to - inpatient or outpatient surgical procedures,brand name medications, or specialty medications.Balance billingWhen you use an out-of-network provider, they may bill you thedifference between what they charge and the amount your insurancepays. If you have any questions, please call Benemax at 800-528-1530.Helpful TermsWe've removed as much jargon as possible.But you’ll probably still encounter some terms as you enroll in and use your benefits, and we want you to be prepared!
