Sutter Health Plus: Sutter Health Plus 15 HMOCoverage Period: 01/01/2015 – 12/31/2015Coverage for: Large Group Plan Type: HMOSummary of Benefits and Coverage: What this Plan Covers & What it Costs Copayments are fixed dollar amounts (for example, 15) you pay for covered health care, usually when you receive the service. Coinsurance is your share of the costs of a covered service, calculated as a percent of the allowed amount for the service. For example,if the plan’s allowed amount for an overnight hospital stay is 1,000, your coinsurance payment of 20% would be 200. This maychange if you haven’t met your deductible. The amount the plan pays for covered services is based on the allowed amount. If an out-of-network provider charges more than theallowed amount, you may have to pay the difference. For example, if an out-of-network hospital charges 1,500 for an overnight stayand the allowed amount is 1,000, you may have to pay the 500 difference. (This is called balance billing.) This plan may encourage you to use in-network providers by charging you lower deductibles, copayments and coinsurance amounts.Your Cost If You Use anCommonMedical EventServices You May NeedPrimary care visit to treat an injuryor illnessSpecialist visitIf you visit a healthcare provider’soffice or clinicIf you have a testIf you need drugs totreat your illness orconditionMore informationabout prescriptionOther practitioner office visitOut-ofnetworkProviderLimitations & Exceptions 15 per visitNot covered---None--- 15 per visitNot covered 10 per visit for acupuncture 10 per visit for chiropracticcareNot covered---None--Offered and Contracted ThroughACN Group of California.Acupuncture: up to 30 visits perPlan Year.Chiropractic care: up to 30visits per Plan Year.In-network ProviderPreventiveNo Chargecare/screening/immunizationDiagnostic test (x-ray, blood work) No ChargeImaging (CT/PET scans, MRIs) 15 per visitRetail: 10 copayGeneric drugsMail Order: 20 copayRetail: 20 copayPreferred brand drugsMail Order: 40 copayRetail: 35 copayNon-preferred brand drugsMail Order: 70 copayQuestions: Call 1-855-315-5800 or visit us at sutterhealthplus.org.If you aren’t clear about any of the underlined terms used in this form, see the Glossary.You can view the Glossary at www.cciio.cms.gov or call 1-855-315-5800 to request a copy.Not covered---None---Not coveredNot covered---None-----None--Retail: 30-day supplyMail Order: 90-day supplyRetail: 30-day supplyMail Order: 90-day supplyRetail: 30-day supplyMail Order: 90-day supplyNot coveredNot coveredNot covered2 of 8

Sutter Health Plus: Sutter Health Plus 15 HMOCoverage ExamplesCoverage Period: 01/01/2015 – 12/31/2015Coverage for: Large Group Plan Type: HMOQuestions and answers about the Coverage Examples:What are some of the assumptions behindthe Coverage Examples? Costs don’t include premiums.Sample care costs are based on nationalaverages supplied by the U.S.Department of Health and HumanServices, and aren’t specific to aparticular geographic area or healthplan.The patient’s condition was not anexcluded or preexisting condition.All services and treatments started andended in the same coverage period.There are no other medical expenses forany member covered under this plan.Out-of-pocket expenses are based onlyon treating the condition in theexample.The patient received all care from innetwork providers. If the patient hadreceived care from out-of-networkproviders, costs would have beenhigher.What does a Coverage Example show?For each treatment situation, the CoverageExample helps you see how deductibles,copayments, and coinsurance can add up.It also helps you see what expenses might beleft up to you to pay because the service ortreatment isn’t covered or payment islimited.Does the Coverage Example predict myown care needs? No. Treatments shown are just examples.The care you would receive for thiscondition could be different based onyour doctor’s advice, your age, howserious your condition is, and many otherfactors.Does the Coverage Example predict myfuture expenses? No. Coverage Examplesare not cost estimators. You can’t use theexamples to estimate costs for an actualcondition. They are for comparativepurposes only. Your own costs will bedifferent depending on the care you receive,the prices your providers charge, and thereimbursement your health plan allows. Yes. When you look at the Summary ofBenefits and Coverage for other plans,you’ll find the same Coverage Examples.When you compare plans, check the“Patient Pays” box in each example. Thesmaller that number, the more coveragethe plan provides.Are there other costs I should considerwhen comparing plans? Yes. An important cost is the premiumyou pay. Generally, the lower yourpremium, the more you’ll pay in out-ofpocket costs, such as copayments,deductibles, and coinsurance. Youshould also consider contributions toaccounts such as health savings accounts(HSAs), flexible spending arrangements(FSAs) or health reimbursement accounts(HRAs) that help you pay out-of-pocketexpenses.Can I use Coverage Examples to compareplans?Questions: Call 1-855-315-5800 or visit us at sutterhealthplus.org.If you aren’t clear about any of the underlined terms used in this form, see the Glossary.You can view the Glossary at www.cciio.cms.gov or call 1-855-315-5800 to request a copy.8 of 8
