What You Need to Know About Our ACA Plans

This page serves as a quick links landing page designed to help you navigate our site and find helpful information about how our plans work and our claims policies.

We've selected nine topics we feel are important. Under each topic, we've included a brief description of what the topic is about and links to pages where you'll actually find the information.

Out-of-network liability and balance billing

Check out these pages for information about whether or not a member would have to pay for out-of-network services. Also, we list off any exceptions to out-of-network liability, and whether or not we balance-bill our members in these situations.

Enrollee claims submission

Check out these pages for general information on how a member can submit a claim without their doctor, and a time limit to submit the claim. When you submit a claim, send it to the address listed on the claim form.

Grace periods and claims pending policies during grace periods

Medical necessity and prior authorization timeframes and enrollee responsibilities

Check out these pages for an explanation of what prior authorization is and why you need it for some of your medical or dental services, or prescription drugs. Also, it explains what could happen if a member doesn't get prior authorization and the time frame for a decision.
