4 Background SutterSelect is Sutter Health s self-funded medical plan, developed to take the place of an outside insurance company. Self-funding allows Sutter Health affiliates to deliver consistent medical plan coverage from year to year through a stable, predictable medical plan. In turn, affiliates can design benefit plans, wellness programs and more with employees and their families in mind. SutterSelect Products SutterSelect manages the self-funded medical plans for its customers. Product descriptions are detailed in the Plan Design section on page 2. SutterSelect Provider Network The SutterSelect provider network includes more than 7,000 physicians. Additionally, the PPO plan option offers innetwork providers from the broader HealthSmart Preferred network inside of California or the PHCS Healthy Directions network outside of California. The Options PPO plan network utilizes the UnitedHealthcare Options PPO network. SutterSelect Vendors Sutter Health partners with UMR to administer the plan. UMR is the largest employee benefits third-party administrator in the United States and is fully compliant with HIPAA requirements for health data security. The organization serves more than 1,700 clients and more than 2.5 million plan members, processing over 32 million claims each year. UMR is a UnitedHealthcare company. UMR is the primary contact for provider and member information and assistance with SutterSelect. Pharmacy benefits management is provided through MedImpact. The MedImpact pharmacy network includes a national network of more than 67,000 community pharmacies and also offers a mail order prescription service through Prescription Solutions Program (PPS). Optum administers the Mental Health, Substance Abuse and Chemical Dependency benefits for all SutterSelect plans. The illustration on the following page provides information about the SutterSelect medical plan options. SutterSelect Administrative Manual 1

11 Claims Claims Inquiries Claims inquiries should be directed to SutterSelect s Customer Service Line at Claims Submission Address UMR PO BOX SALT LAKE CITY UT Timely Filing Complete claims are to be submitted to the third-party administrator, UMR, as soon as possible after services are received, but no later than six months from the date of service. A complete claim means that the Plan has all information that is necessary to process the claim. Claims received after the timely filing period has expired will not be considered for payment. Coordination of Benefits Coordination of benefits (COB) applies whenever a member has health coverage under more than one plan. The purpose of coordinating benefits is to pay for covered expenses, but not to result in total benefits that are greater than the covered expenses incurred. The order of benefit determination rules determine which plan will pay first (primary plan). The primary plan pays without regard to the possibility that another plan may cover some expenses. A secondary plan pays for covered expenses after the primary plan has processed the claim, and will reduce the benefits it pays so that the total payment between the primary plan and secondary plan does not exceed the covered expenses incurred. Up to 100 percent of charges incurred may be paid between both plans. Subrogation Claims identified as possibly accident related may pend for additional information. When these claims are identified, a questionnaire is generated to the member asking if they received treatment for an injury or illness that may be accident related. The member must complete and return the questionnaire by mail or fax. The member can also respond to the inquiry by calling SutterSelect Customer Service or online at If there is an indication that the claim was for an illness or injury that was not caused by another person or party, the claim(s) will be reprocessed. If there is an indication that the claim was for an illness or injury that was caused by another person or party UMR will reprocess the claim(s) and pursue the plan s right of reimbursement of the medical bills paid by the plan. Failure by the member to return the completed questionnaire will result in denial of the claim(s). SutterSelect Administrative Manual 8
