Central Choice The CentralChoice in Supplemental Health Insurance Benefits
This is a Hospital Indemnity Insurance Policy
CENTRAL CHOICE POLICY HIGHLIGHTS: Individual Renewable - meaning the policy is Guaranteed Renewable providing policyholder security subject to our right to change premium rates. Pre-Existing Conditions - with Central Choice, pre-existing conditions (for covered medical conditions) are covered after the first 12 months. No Ineligible Occupations - no occupational classes are excluded from any of the four plan designs. All Provider plan - You may seek treatment from any doctor and any hospital. Our plans pay directly to the insured. You may benefit from negotiated discounts through the First Health Network. No Utilization Review. No Deductibles, Coinsurance or Lifetime Maximums (individual benefit maximums apply). All Central Choice plans feature a surgical benefit*, which is determined by the state in which the policy is sold. In the states of CO, ID, and NM, Central Choice includes a traditional Surgical Schedule. Surgical procedures in these surgical schedule states are covered the same whether received as inpatient or outpatient treatment. In AL, AR, AZ, CA, DC, DE, GA, IA, IL, IN, KY, LA, MD, MI, MO, MS, NC, NE, NV, OH, OK, PA, SC, SD, TN, TX, VA, WI, WV, and WY, Central Choice features a unique Daily Surgical Benefit, which provides a surgical amount for each day of a consecutive period of hospital confinement in which one or more surgeries take place, up to a maximum of 5 days per period of confinement. The Daily Surgical Benefit is provided for both INPATIENT while hospital confined and as OUTPATIENT at an Ambulatory Surgical Center. The surgical benefit is reduced to 25% of the daily surgical benefit rate when received as outpatient treatment at an Ambulatory Surgical Center. * The Surgical Benefit does not apply in KS.
THE TWO “COSTS” OF HEALTHCARE The first is the premium cost to have health insurance. The second is the cost associated with using it. If it is affordable but unsuitable due to high deductibles, co-insurance, and out-of-network charges then it is really not a manageable plan. Central Choice products include cost effective supplements to fill gaps left open with other products including both qualified major medical as well as limited benefit plans. One of two possibilities will occur for you this year; you will either be hospital confined, or you will not. It is unlikely that many of us will exceed our deductible in a year without a hospital stay. So, in most years we wind up paying our insurance premiums and most or all of the cost of our treatment. But, if and when we are hospital confined, the high cost of treatment will likely have us reach the maximum out-of-pocket threshold of any qualified major medical plan level for even a relatively short confinement. THE IMPORTANCE OF CENTRAL CHOICE AS SUPPLEMENTAL COVERAGE Our Premier Choice and Select Choice package designs each feature a variety of both inpatient as well as outpatient benefits, including surgery. Central Choice benefits can be paid to any hospital or doctor and when First Health Network providers are used additional savings through negotiated discounts may be available. What are now referred to as “qualified plan designs” feature deductible and coinsurance exposure over $6,000 per person per year. This is above the premium cost. Many see the merit of purchasing the “qualified” Bronze plan and using the premium difference between that and more expensive designs to purchase supplemental insurance to “fill the gaps.”
Central Choice Plan Designs
PREMIER CHOICE Is particularly well suited to those aged 50-plus who have pre-existing medical conditions (remember, there is a 12-month wait on pre-existing conditions). SELECT CHOICE Design is suitable for those with limited budget who desire an affordable plan to which they can add additional customized coverage for necessary Critical Illness, Cancer and Accidents. (Available separately) It provides a backbone for a quality portfolio of these additional supplemental policies.
ENHANCED CHOICE A versatile option, this plan can serve as a solid supplement to qualified major medical policy.
ESSENTIAL CHOICE A cost effective way to provide a variety of benefits used to “fill the gaps” in qualified major med plans. While the Supplement Plan is sufficient to supply the benefits necessary to reduce or even eliminate the out-of-pocket costs associated with an average period of hospital confinement when used with major medical, it should be supported by additional CI, Accident and Cancer policies whenever possible for the highest levels of protection.
