5 Laborers Health and Welfare Trust for Southern California PPO Plan Highlights PPO Plan Helpful Considerations Obtaining services from participating health care providers, doctors, hospitals, dentists and other health care professionals, contracted with, greatly reduces your out-of-pocket costs. Using non-contracted health care providers will substantially increase your out-of-pocket costs. All Services must be medically necessary. Many services must be pre-authorized. If no pre-authorization is obtained when required, payment for services may be denied. Your health care provider should contact Anthem Blue Cross for pre-authorization information and instructions. Pre-admission Certificate should be obtained for Hospital Stay. Pre-admission Certification coverage does not guarantee coverage. A pre-authorized dental procedure or a pre-authorized orthodontic procedure request is good for 90 days only. (See Summary Plan Description) You may contact the Trust Fund Office if you have any questions. Your dependent children are now covered to age 26 even if they have other coverage. Your annual deductible is $250 for each individual up to a maximum of $750 for the family. Office visits and certain other professional services have a $20 copayment when using contracted providers and a $30 copayment when using noncontracted providers. Your annual limit for covered out-of-pocket expenses is $6,600 for each individual up to a maximum of $13,200 for the family. There is no overall annual maximum limit for covered benefits. You may have other out-of-pocket expenses if you use non-contracted providers. A medical necessity determination by Anthem Blue Cross does not guarantee coverage. Service must be covered by the Plan and you must be eligible at the time of service. (Active PPO Plan_Rev. January 2014) Page 3

10 Definitions Used in Section III Summary of Benefits Plan Allowable Charge. The higher of the nearest contracted rate or usual, customary and reasonable amount. Reasonable and Customary (R&C) and Usual, Customary and Reasonable (UCR) means the fee regularly charged for treatments or supplies covered under the Plan to the extent such fee does not exceed the general level of charges by others who render or furnish such services, treatments or supplies in the locality where the charge is incurred, for illness or injury comparable in nature and severity. The term locality means a county or such greater geographically significant area as is necessary to establish a representative cross section of providers regularly furnishing the type of treatment, services or supplies for which the charge was made. A charge is Usual if it is the charge made by the health care provider to most private patients for the particular service. A charge is Customary if it is within the normal range of charges made by most health care providers of similar training and experience for the same service in the geographical area involved. A charge is Reasonable if it meets the above requirements or is justified in certain circumstances of a particular case and is within the amount of a provider s charge which could have been reasonably expected to have been paid by a person in the patient s income bracket. If such health care provider s charge is in excess of that which would be payable under any insurance or benefit coverage or beyond a patient s personal ability to pay, this Plan then retains the right to limit its reimbursement to criteria in general usage in determining appropriate payment or to that which such provider has agreed to accept as payment in full, contractually or otherwise, from any other payment source providing the same or similar benefit coverage or insurance. The Plan determines UCR based on information acquired from third parties. If a UCR determination is contested, the Plan will consider additional information submitted to the Plan during the appeal process. PPO Plan. The Plan s PPO is the of California Prudent Buyer PPO. The PPO is a network of heath care facilities and medical professionals that have agreed to provide your medical care anywhere within that service area at contracted rates. When you receive the services of a PPO network provider, you must first meet an annual deductible and pay certain co-payments and coinsurance amounts and the Plan pays the provider based on a contracted rate. By using a PPO network provider, you will not be balance billed for any amounts that are over and above your deductible, co-payment and co-insurance amounts, provided that you received covered services under the Plan. If you enroll in the PPO Plan, you may also go to any provider outside of the network. However, it will cost you more because your benefits will be reduced and there may be no provider discounts available. Page 8 (Active PPO Plan_Rev. January 2014)
