State of Illinois CIP BA HMO: Blue Cross and Blue Shield of IllinoisSummary of Benefits and Coverage: What this Plan Covers & What it CostsCoverage Period: 07/01/2014 – 06/30/2015Coverage for: ALL Plan Type: HMO 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, ifthe plan’s allowed amount for an overnight hospital stay is 1,000, your coinsurance payment of 20% would be 200. This may change ifyou 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 stay andthe 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 participating providers by charging you lower deductibles, copayments and coinsurance amounts.CommonMedical EventIf you visit a healthcare provider’s officeor clinicIf you have a testServices You May NeedYour Cost IfYou Use aParticipatingProviderPrimary care visit to treat an injury or illness 30 copay/visitSpecialist visitOther practitioner office visitPreventive care/screening/immunizationDiagnostic test (x-ray, blood work)Imaging (CT/PET scans, MRIs) 30 copay/visit 30 copay/visitNo ChargeNo ChargeNo ChargeYour Cost If YouUse aLimitations & ExceptionsNon-ParticipatingProviderServices or supplies that are notordered by your Primary CarePhysician or Women’s PrincipalNot CoveredHealth Care Provider, exceptemergency and routine vision exams,are not covered.Not CoveredReferral required.Not CoveredReferral required.Not Covered---none--Not CoveredReferral required.Not CoveredQuestions: Call 1-800-868-9520 or visit us at www.bcbsil.com.If you aren’t clear about any of the underlined terms used in this form, see the Glossary.

State of Illinois CIP BA HMO: Blue Cross and Blue Shield of IllinoisSummary of Benefits and Coverage: What this Plan Covers & What it CostsCoverage Period: 07/01/2014 – 06/30/2015Coverage for: ALL Plan Type: HMOQuestions and answers about the Coverage Examples:What are some of theassumptions behind theCoverage 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 health plan.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 the example.The patient received all care from innetwork providers. If the patient hadreceived care from out-of-networkproviders, costs would have been higher.What does a Coverage Exampleshow?Can I use Coverage Examplesto compare plans?For each treatment situation, the CoverageExample helps you see how deductibles,copayments, and coinsurance can add up. Italso helps you see what expenses might be leftup to you to pay because the service ortreatment isn’t covered or payment is limited. Yes. When you look at the Summary ofDoes the Coverage Examplepredict my own care needs? No. Treatments shown are just examples.The care you would receive for thiscondition could be different based on yourdoctor’s advice, your age, how serious yourcondition is, and many other factors.Does the Coverage Examplepredict my future expenses? No. Coverage Examples are not costestimators. You can’t use the examples toestimate costs for an actual condition. Theyare for comparative purposes only. Yourown costs will be different depending onthe care you receive, the prices yourproviders charge, and the reimbursementyour health plan allows.Benefits 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 shouldconsider when comparingplans? 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.Questions: Call 1-800-868-9520 or visit us at www.bcbsil.com.If you aren’t clear about any of the underlined terms used in this form, see the Glossary.
