What is a POS Plan?The Point of Service (POS) plan offers much more flexibility and choice than the HMO plan because there is an In-Network and Out-of-Network choice at the time you seek service from a provider.

The Aetna POS plan offers you the choice of choosing a Primary Care Physician if you so desire. You are not obligated to choose one.

The In-Network benefits (copays, coinsurance, etc.) will be greater than the Out-of-Network benefits. You will pay less when you seek your care In-Network. For example, your POS plan offers a Copay of $30 for a specialist office visit In-Network; that same office visit Out-of-Network is 30% after satisfying the deductible.

At the time of service, the member has the ability to seek care from a Specialist, without having to obtain a referral from a Primary Care Physician.

The contractual agreement between the POS Plan and the Provider is on a discounted fee for service basis. This means that the provider who participates in the network has agreed to provide their service on an agreed upon discounted fee. The Provider who is not in the network will not agree to that discounted fee and will typically charge a Reasonable and Customary fee. 8For more detailed plan design information go to: www.garnett-powers.com/rochester9Postdoctoral Scholar Benefit ProgramAetna POS Medical PlanCore BenefitsIn-NetworkPostdoc Pays Out-of-NetworkPostdoc PaysDeductible (Individual / Family)$250 / $500$750 / $1,500OOP Single/Family $2,500 / $5,000$5,000 / $10,000Office Visit (Primary / Specialist)$20 / $30 Copay30%*Routine Adult Physical Exam $0 Copay30%*Inpatient Hospital 10%*40%*Outpatient Surgery 10%*40%*E-Visit to PCP$20 Copay30%*Urgent Care$75 Copay30%*Emergency Room $100 Copay (waived if admitted)RX (Generic / Preferred Brand/ Non-Preferred Brand)$10 / $20 / $35$10 / $20 / $35 (plus 20%)* Deductible applies to these services Added grey border below heading (missing from this slide).10Glossary of Medical Insurance TermsCopayments are fixed dollar amounts (for example, $20) you pay for covered health care, usually when you receive the service.

Coinsurance is your share of the costs of a covered service, calculated as a percent of the allowed amount for the service. For example: If the plan's allowed amount for an overnight hospital stay is $1,000, your coinsurance payment of 10% would be $100. This may change if you haven't met your deductible.

The deductible is an amount of money that must be paid, or satisfied before the coinsurance amount can be paid.

The Maximum Out-of-Pocket , also known as Payment Limit, becomes the limit of how much you will pay for your and your familys medical care for a calendar year, after which point, you will not pay any more. The medical POS plan has a dollar limit of $2,500 for individual and $5,000 for family.

10Summaries of Benefits and CoverageThe Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) requires that you be notified that the Summaries of Benefits and Coverage for your medical plans are currently available on our website.

Per the out-of-network benefit structure, you will pay 50% (your coinsurance) toward that crown, which would be $400.

In addition, if the out-of-network dentist performing your crown services charges more than what is considered usual, customary and reasonable, you will pay the $400 PLUS any additional amount that the dentist wishes to charge. So, if the dentist charged $900 for the crown in total, you would pay a total of $500 for the crown, which includes the extra $100 that the dentist charged above what is considered usual, customary and reasonable.

Using the out-of-network tier costs you more because the dentists do not discount their services per a provider contract, whereas those contracts do reduce your out-of-pocket costs in the in-network PPO tier.

When you access care out-of-network, you and the insurance carrier incur more costs, consequently affecting the overall pricing of the plan.

Aetna has a robust PPO network.An example of how seeking out-of-network services can impact your out-of-pocket costs:
