Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the Medical Out-of-Pocket maximum? What is included in the Pharmacy Out- of-Pocket maximum? The Medical Out-of-Pocket maximum is the maximum amount a member must pay during the policy year for covered essential health benefits. The OOP includes a member’s deductible and any coinsurance member responsibility. The Pharmacy OOP includes only pharmacy co-pays. The Medical OOP does NOT include monthly premiums, or billing from out-of-network providers. What is an in-network vs out-of-network provider? Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield contracts with a wide range of doctors, as well as specialists, hospitals, labs, radiology facilities and pharmacies. These are the providers that are considered “in your network”. Specifically, each of these providers has agreed to accept Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield’s contracted rate for your medical care and services rendered. The contracted rate includes both Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield’s share of the cost, and the member’s. Your share may be in the form of a co-payment, deductible, or co-insurance. For example, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield’s contracted rate for a primary care visit might be $125. The Plan has a $25 co-payment for the visit; the member will pay $25 of the cost and your insurance plan will pay the remaining $100. An “out-of-network” provider is a medical doctor or facility that is not in contract with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. This means that the provider may charge members higher rates for medical services and care, outside of the standard “in-network” rates. For example, a out-of-network provider may charge $200 for a primary care visit. Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield may pay an adjustment of an out-of-network benefit of $80 dollars to the provider, so the member may be balance-billed for the remaining $120 cost of the visit. When can I change my beneficiary information for my Basic Life Insurance? Any time! It is important that all beneficiary information be kept up-to-date. You may need to change it after a marriage, divorce, or birth of a child. You can contact ADP anytime to update your beneficiary.

orthopedic, gastrointestinal, etc.)
The amount of money a member owes for any In-network health care services before co-insurance coverage begins. These are generally services that are NOT covered under a standard co-pay (inpatient surgery, outpatient surgery, MRI, etc.) Deductibles run on a calendar year basis. After any applicable deductible is met, the remaining cost of any in-network health care service is divided between the insurance carrier and the member. A 70% / 30% network co-insurance would divide the cost of a service with 70% paid by the insurance carrier and 30% paid by the member. These are generally services that are NOT covered under a standard co-pay (inpatient surgery, outpatient surgery, MRI, etc.) The maximum amount a member must pay during the policy year for covered essential health benefits. The OOP includes a member’s deductible, any co-insurance member responsibility, primary care and specialist office visit co-pays, ER or Urgent Care co-pays, and prescription co-pays / costs. The OOP does NOT include monthly premiums, billing from out-of-network providers, or spending for non-essential health benefits. The cost of a one month supply of a prescription drug. All covered drugs are designated into tiered levels based on drug usage, cost, and clinical effectiveness. Tier 1 usually includes generics, while Tier 2 generally includes preferred brand name medications. Tier 3 typically includes non-preferred brand name medications, Tier 4 usually includes higher cost drugs and Specialty Drugs are covered under a separate tier.

£ An active employee of the Employer who works the number of hours per week to be eligible for benefits as defined by the Employer and approved by Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield (Anthem) as of the effective date. Employment must be verifiable from state or federal wage tax reports. £ An employee, as defined above, who enters into employment after the coverage effective date and who completes the group imposed waiting period for eligibility (if any) and applies for coverage within 30 days. £ Any other class of persons identified by the Employer, provided that written approval of their eligibility is obtained from the Company(ies); or £ Employees eligible for continuous coverage under state or federal laws. Eligible employee does not include independent contractors (whose compensation is reported on IRS Form 1099) and directors and officers of the Group Policyholder if they do not work the required number of hours per week described above. Eligible dependent: £ Employee’s spouse, or children age 26 or younger, which includes a newborn, natural child, or a child placed with the employee for adoption, a stepchild, or any other child for whom the employee has legal guardianship or court ordered custody. The age limit for enrolling a child is age 26. Coverage for children will end on the last day of the month in which the children reach age 26. For life coverage, only employee’s Spouse/Domestic Partner or children age 26 or younger, legally adopted children, and stepchildren are eligible. £ The age limit of 26 does not apply for the initial enrollment or maintaining enrollment of an unmarried child who cannot support himself or herself because of mental retardation, mental illness, or physical incapacity that began prior to the child reaching the age limit. Coverage may be obtained for the child who is beyond the age limit at the initial enrollment if the employee provides proof of handicap and dependence at the time of enrollment. (The employee may be asked to provide a physician’s certification of the dependent’s condition.) £ Dependents eligible for continuous coverage under state or federal laws. As an eligible employee, I am requesting coverage for myself and all eligible dependents listed and authorize my employer to deduct any required contributions for this insurance from my earnings. All statements and answers I have given are true and complete. I understand it is a crime to knowingly provide false, incomplete or misleading information to an insurance company for the purpose of defrauding the company. Penalties may include imprisonment, fines or a denial of insurance benefits. I understand all benefits are subject to conditions stated in the Group Contract and coverage document. In signing this application I represent that: I have read or have had read to me the completed application, and I realize any false statement or misrepresentation in the application may result in loss of coverage. I certify each Social Security number listed on this application is correct. For Health Savings Account enrollees: Except as otherwise provided in any agreement between me and the financial custodian, the custodian of my Health Savings Account (HSA), I understand that my authorization is required before the financial custodian may provide Anthem with information regarding my HSA. I hereby authorize the financial custodian to provide Anthem with information about my HSA, including account number, account balance, and information regarding account activity. I also understand that I may provide Anthem with a written request to revoke my authorization at any time. Coverage option: If your employer/group offers HMO coverage which does not permit you to receive the full range of covered services from the provider of your choice, you will also have the option at the time of your initial enrollment and at each renewal to choose a health care plan allowing you to access care from the provider of your choice (“point-of-service” plan). This point-of-service plan may be offered by the HMO, Anthem or by another carrier. Abbreviated Notice of Insurance Information Practices Privacy Act.

Special enrollment rights If you declined enrollment for yourself or your dependent(s) (including a spouse) because of other health insurance or group health plan coverage, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependent(s) in this plan if you or your dependent(s) lose eligibility for the other health insurance or group health plan coverage (or if the employer stops contribution towards your coverage or your dependent’s other coverage). However, you must request enrollment within 31 days after coverage ends (or after the employer stops contribution toward the other coverage). In addition, if you have a dependent as a result of marriage, birth, adoption or placement for adoption, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependent(s) provided that you request enrollment within 31 days after the marriage, birth, adoption or placement for adoption. I also understand that my dependents and I may enroll under two additional circumstances: £ Either your or your dependent’s Medicaid or Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) coverage is terminated as a result of loss of eligibility; or £ You or your dependent becomes eligible for a subsidy (state premium assistance program). In these cases, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents provided that you request enrollment within 60 days of the loss of Medicaid/CHIP or of the eligibility determination.

6. Signature and authorization information
I understand that:
I am requesting coverage under a Group Insurance policy offered by my employer. This coverage will end when my employment terminates, subject to any portability or continuation provisions available under the Group Insurance policy.
My employer will deduct all or part of the premium for contributory coverage from my pay.
If applying for coverage more than 31 days past my eligibility date, Evidence of Insurability may be required. For Life and Short-Term Disability insurance, Evidence of Insurability may be required for amounts over my Guarantee Issue for this enrollment.
Increases to current Life and Short-Term Disability benefits may require Evidence of Insurability.
If I decline coverage for myself or, if applicable, for my family now and want it at a later date, I/we will have to submit an Evidence of Insurability application, if required for the elected coverage(s), to be approved by Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (Wellesley, MA). For Dental coverage, I understand that I will not be entitled to benefits until the expiration of any Late Entrant benefit waiting period specified in the certificate of insurance.
For Dental Insurance plans, I have the right to select any dental care provider of my choice.
The dental plan includes a pre-determination provision that will advise me in advance of the benefits I may be eligible for if the procedure is performed. Coverages include benefit waiting periods, limitations, exclusions and a pre-existing conditions provision that may affect my entitlement to benefits. If I am not actively at work due to injury, illness, layoff or leave of absence on the date that any initial or increased coverage is scheduled to start under the plan, such coverage will not start until the date I return to work. When required by the coverage, if my spouse or any of my dependent children are confined due to an injury or illness, as required by the coverage, on the date that any initial or increased coverage is scheduled to start under the plan, such coverage will not start until the date they are no longer confined and are able to perform their normal activities. By signing below, I am representing that the information I have provided is true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief. X Employee Signature Today's Date To the Employee: Make a copy of this form for your records before submitting it to your employer. To the Employer: This original enrollment form should remain at the employer's site. Family status, coverage, or beneficiary changes should be recorded on another copy of the Enrollment Form.
