Eligibility and requirements To qualify for a Medica plan, you must be a resident of Nebraska, and not eligible for or enrolled in Medicare. You also must live within your selected network’s service area to enroll in and remain in the plan. Understanding benefits and coverage details This brochure is a brief overview of the plans. For complete benefit details, limitations, and exclusions please see a Medica Individual and Family insurance policy. You can find that at Medica.com/ShopNEPlans-23, or you can get a paper copy by calling 1 (877) 704-7856 (TTY: 711 ). Prior approvals and excluded services Some services and procedures require prior approval from Medica before they are covered. Services not covered include, but are not limited to, custodial care, adult eyewear, most dental services, cosmetic services, refractive eye surgery, those received while on military duty and services that are investigational or not medically necessary. For a complete list, see a Medica Individual and Family insurance policy available on Medica.com/ ShopNEPlans-23 or call 1 (877) 704-7856 (TTY: 711 ). Pediatric dental is not covered These policies do not include pediatric dental services.

Health Savings Account The Gold HSA and Bronze HSA plans can be paired with a health savings account (HSA) — which is a special savings account for IRS-approved medical expenses. Generally, CSR plans cannot be paired with an HSA. Learn more about the benefits of an HSA or how to open an account by visiting Medica.com/HSA. Deductible and out-of-pocket maximum details The deductible and out-of-pocket maximum are subject to a “cost of living” increase on a yearly basis. This increase is tied to the Consumer Price Index and/or may result from adjustments needed to keep plans within the range for a given metal level; metal levels (e.g., Gold, Silver, Bronze) must always be in compliance with the Affordable Care Act (ACA) for Qualified Health Plans (QHPs). Cost Share Reduction plans You may be able to get help paying your health insurance premium or qualify for plans with reduced deductibles and copays. Plans with reduced deductibles and copays are called Cost Share Reduction (CSR) plans. You can get this assistance if you get health insurance through Healthcare.gov, your income is below a certain level, and you choose a health plan from the Silver plan category. Reduced cost sharing is not available with a Catastrophic plan. If you’re a member of a federally recognized tribe, you may qualify for additional cost-sharing benefits. To see if you’re eligible, please visit Healthcare.gov. Receiving care outside your network Unless it's an emergency, air ambulance service, or certain out-of-network care at an in-network facility or pre-approved by Medica, there is no coverage if you visit a provider that is not in your plan's network. This means that your provider may require you to be responsible for the full cost of any care or supplies. Learn more at Medica.com/BalanceBill.
