1Benefits are based on the plan allowance.  If the actual charge is greater than the plan allowance, you will have to pay the difference, and these amounts will not be applied to your out-of-pocket maximum.

2Certain services require pre-authorization to determine medical necessity.  Failure to pre-authorize will result in a $1,000 penalty for inpatient admissions, a 20% penalty for certain outpatient services, and a 50% penalty for therapy and restorative services.  Call the pre-authorization number on the back of your ID card before you receive these services.

3You can eliminate the $20 copay by utilizing the HCSC network.  See page 22 for more details.
