Important Questions Answers Why this mattersWhat is not included inthe out–of–pocket limit?

Prescription drugs, premiums, balance-billingcharges, and health care this plan doesn’t cover.

Even though you pay these expenses, they don’t count towardthe out–of–pocket limit.

Will you pay less if youuse a network provider?

Yes. See https://www.harvardpilgrim.org/public/find-a-provider or call 1-888-333-4742 for a list ofpreferred providers.

This plan uses a provider network. You will pay less if youuse a provider in the plan’s network. You will pay the most ifyou use an out-of-network provider, and you might receive abill from a provider for the difference between the provider’scharge and what your plan pays (balance-billing). Be aware,your network provider might use an out-of-network providerfor some services (such as lab work). Check with your providerbefore you get services.

Do you need a referral tosee a specialist?

Yes, some exceptions apply. This plan will pay some or all of the costs to see a specialistfor covered services but only if you have a referral before yousee the specialist.

All copayment and coinsurance cost shown in this chart are after your deductible has been met, if a deductible applies.
