Non-Covered Services

Most medically necessary services are covered by the Health Plan. However, not all services provided by a doctor are covered (cosmetic surgery, for example). You are responsible for 100% of the cost of non-covered services.

Do not assume that all services performed by a network doctor are covered. Some network doctors offer non-covered, medical services.

The best way to determine if a treatment is covered is to refer to the March 2020 Health Plan Summary Plan Description or contact the Plan office at (877) 866-2200 ext. 402.

Reasonable and Customary Charges (R&C)

When you visit a non-network doctor, the Plan office will only consider charges up to the reasonable and customary (R&C) amount for that service. You will be responsible for all charges over the R&C amount.

For example, if your doctor bills you $400 for an office visit, but the R&C is $100, you will be responsible for the entire $300 that is in excess of the R&C amount, plus the applicable co-insurance on the initial $100 and any deductible.

The R&C amount is calculated based on the average charge for a medical service by a percentage of doctors in a given area.

Network doctors will not charge you more than the their contracted rates for covered services.

Additional Information about Network Doctors

Network doctors are not required to refer you to other network doctors. In a non-emergency situation, you should check to see if your referral is for a network doctor. You can do so by contacting the doctor directly or by checking the Anthem Blue Cross Network Provider Finder.

Services in a network hospital may be performed by non-network doctors.

We cannot guarantee that there will always be a network provider available for the medical service that you need. Some areas do not have network providers. In other areas, a network provider in a specific field of medicine may not be available at all times.
