Selecting your Medical Care Professionals and Facilities

This Plan is a plan that has a Participating Provider Organization (PPO) feature. The current PPO for the
Plan is First Health. This is subject to change by the Plan without notice. The PPO has entered into an agreement with certain hospitals, physicians and other health care providers, which are called Participating Providers. Because these Participating Providers have agreed to charge reduced fees to persons covered under the Plan, the Plan can afford to reimburse a higher percentage of their fees. Consult “ERISA Disclosures and Information” section or your identification card to identify your PPO. The Employee is free to choose any provider for their own and their Dependent’s care. The benefits provided to reimburse for services are maximized when the Covered Person selects providers in the PPO. The lowest level of benefits applies to services provided by out-of-network providers. Therefore, when a Covered Person uses a PPO provider, that Covered Person may receive a higher payment from the Plan than when an out-of-network provider provides treatment. It is the Covered Person’s choice as to which PPO benefits apply only to charges for services performed by providers actively participating in the PPO network on the date services were received. Not all providers at participating hospitals are in the network. Some services during an episode of care, may be covered at the out-of-network level. For example, if a Participant has surgery at a PPO hospital using a participating surgeon, your anesthesiology or pathology, or other services may be from out-of-network providers. If this happens, the anesthesiology and pathology services would be treated as out-of-network benefits.
Additional information about this option, as well as a list of Participating Providers will be made available
to Covered Persons and updated as needed. Medical Emergency Provision. If care is provided in the event of a Medical Emergency as defined by
the Plan, benefits will be paid at the in-network level, limited to the in-network Allowable Charge or Usual and Reasonable charge, whichever is lower.
