1. For family coverage, the full family deductible must be met before the enrollee or covered dependents can receive benefits for covered services. In-network expenses count toward meeting the out-of-network deductible. However, out-of-network expenses do not count toward meeting the in-network deductible.
2. You will be responsible for any billed charge that exceeds the maximum allowed amount for services provided by an out-of-network provider. Out-of-network expenses do not count toward meeting the in-network deductible or in-network out-of-pocket maximum. Outpatient surgery and inpatient non-emergency facility services from out-of-network providers are subject to a $210 maximum per visit.
3. Includes the plan deductible. For family coverage, the full family out-of-pocket maximum must be met before the enrollee or covered dependents can receive 100% benefits for covered services.
4. Not all services provided during the preventive visit are considered preventive health benefits. To learn more about which services are covered, visit Anthem.
Emergency Room Billing
Most emergency rooms are in-network, meaning they have a contract with Anthem. In some cases, you may need to get care in an out-of-network emergency room (ER). If you get a bill for an out-of-network ER visit, before paying it, call Anthem Health Guide toll-free at (844) 437-0486. They can help you understand your responsibility and advocate on your behalf for a lower bill.
Costs for emergency care received at out-of-network hospitals and for ambulance services count toward both the in-network deductible and in-network out-of-pocket maximum. (This does not apply to unauthorized non-emergency ambulance services or to unauthorized non-emergency facility-to-facility transport.)
A Note About Services
Some hospitals and other providers do not provide one or more of the following services that may be covered under your plan contract and that you or your family member might need: family planning; contraceptive services, including emergency contraception; sterilization, including tubal ligation at the time of labor and delivery; infertility treatments; or abortion. You should always check ahead of time with your doctor, medical group, independent practice association, or clinic or call Anthem Health Guide to ensure that you can obtain the health care services that you need.
