Coverage Information


With a few exceptions, your medical insurance benefits including behavioral health and prescription drug coverage start after you meet your annual deductible. For coverage details, call your plan administrator or refer to Your Benefits Handbook.     
  • Most medical services are covered at 80% of eligible expenses after you meet your annual deductible, if care is received from in-network providers.
  • For out-of-network care, services are covered at 60% of eligible expenses after you meet your annual deductible.*
  • Due to IRS regulations, an annual deductible applies to all services except preventive under Option 3.
  • Preventive screenings are covered at no cost, in-network under each plan option.
*Additional out-of-network provider billed charges may apply.


 
Preventive screenings and services, as recommended by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), are covered 100% in-network, not subject to the annual deductible. Medical necessity, frequency, condition, gender and/or age restrictions may apply. You should always ask your doctor if the screenings performed for or during your physical exam are consistent with the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommendations and subsequently covered at 100%. If you have questions, please contact your health plan administrator for additional details. Preventive services are not covered out-of-network. Additional preventive prescription drug information can be found on the Prescription Drug page.

For a printer friendly version of preventive care services, click here. This list is not all inclusive.  If you have any questions about preventive care coverage, contact your plan administrator for more information.
All three options provide the same basic prescription coverage once you meet your annual deductible. Visit optumrx.com to understand prescription drug costs, history, and savings opportunities.

Drug costs displayed are estimates and may vary based on the specific quantity, strength and/or dosage of the medication, the order in which you purchase your prescriptions, and the pharmacy you use.
