GLOSSARY OF HEALTH COVERAGE AND MEDICAL TERMS
Complications of Pregnancy Conditions due to pregnancy, labor and delivery that require medical care to prevent serious harm to the health of the mother or the fetus. Morning sickness and a non emergency caesarean section aren’t complications of pregnancy. Copayment A fixed amount (for example, $15) you pay for a covered health care service, usually when you receive the service. The amount can vary by the type of covered health care service. Deductible The amount you owe for health care services your health insurance or plan covers before your health insurance or plan begins to pay. For example, if your deductible is $1000, your plan won’t pay anything until you’ve met your $1000 deductible for covered health care services subject to the deductible. The deductible may not apply to all services. Durable Medical Equipment (DME) Equipment and supplies ordered by a health care provider for everyday or extended use. Coverage for DME may include: oxygen equipment, wheelchairs, crutches or blood testing strips for diabetics. Emergency Medical Condition An illness, injury, symptom or condition so serious that a reasonable person would seek care right away to avoid severe harm. Emergency Medical Transportation Ambulance services for an emergency medical condition. Emergency Room Care Emergency services you get in an emergency room. Emergency Services Evaluation of an emergency medical condition and treatment to keep the condition from getting worse.
Excluded Services Health care services that your health insurance or plan doesn’t pay for or cover. Grievance A complaint that you communicate to your health insurer or plan. Health Insurance A contract that requires your health insurer to pay some or all of your health care costs in exchange for a premium. Home Health Care Health care services a person receives at home. Hospice Services Services to provide comfort and support for persons in the last stages of a terminal illness and their families. Hospitalization Care in a hospital that requires admission as an inpatient and usually requires an overnight stay. An overnight stay for observation could be outpatient care. Hospital Outpatient Care Care in a hospital that usually doesn’t require an overnight stay. In-Network Coinsurance The percent (for example, 20%) you pay of the allowed amount for covered health care services to providers who contract with your health insurance or plan. In-Network co-insurance usually costs you less than Out-of-Network coinsurance. In-Network Copayment A fixed amount (for example, $15) you pay for covered health care services to providers who contract with your health insurance or plan. In Network copayments usually are less than Out-of-Network copayments.
This glossary has many commonly used terms, but isn’t a full list. These glossary terms and definitions are intended to be educational and may be different from the terms and definitions in your plan. Some of these terms also might not have exactly the same meaning when used in your policy or plan, and in any such case, the policy or plan governs. An example showing how deductibles, co-insurance and out-of-pocket limits work together in a real life situation is located on page 21. Allowed Amount Maximum amount on which payment is based for covered health care services. This may be called “eligible expense,” “payment allowance" or "negotiated rate." If your provider charges more than the allowed amount, you may have to pay the difference. (See Balance Billing.) Appeal A request for your health insurer or plan to review a decision or a grievance again. Balance Billing When a provider bills you for the difference between the provider’s charge and the allowed amount. For example, if the provider’s charge is $100 and the allowed amount is $70, the provider may bill you for the remaining $30. A preferred provider may not balance bill you for covered services. Coinsurance Your share of the costs of a covered health care service, calculated as a percent (for example, 20%) of the allowed amount for the service. You pay coinsurance plus any deductibles you owe. For example, if the health insurance or plan’s allowed amount for an office visit is $100 and you’ve met your deductible, your coinsurance payment of 20% would be $20. The health insurance or plan pays the rest of the allowed amount.
For additional information, please refer to your detailed plan summary. In the event of a discrepancy, the carrier Plan Document shall prevail.

Medically Necessary Health care services or supplies needed to prevent, diagnose or treat an illness, injury, condition, disease or its symptoms and that meet accepted standards of medicine Network The facilities, providers and suppliers your health insurer or plan has contracted with to provide health care services. Non-Preferred Provider A provider who doesn’t have a contract with your health insurer or plan to provide services to you. You’ll pay more to see a non preferred provider. Check your policy to see if you can go to all providers who have contracted with your health insurance or plan, or if your health insurance or plan has a “tiered” network and you must pay extra to see some providers. Out-of-Network Coinsurance The percent (for example, 40%) you pay of the allowed amount for covered health care services to providers who do not contract with your health insurance or plan. Out-of-Network coinsurance usually costs you more than In-Network coinsurance. Out-of-Network Copayment A fixed amount (for example, $30) you pay for covered health care services from providers who do not contract with your health insurance or plan. Out-of-Network copayments usually are more than In-Network copayments. Out-of-Pocket Limit The most you pay during a policy period (usually a year) before your health insurance or plan begins to pay 100% of the allowed amount. This limit never includes your premium, balance-billed charges or health care your health insurance or plan doesn’t cover. Some health insurance or plans don’t count all of your copayments, deductibles, coinsurance payments, Out-of-Network payments or other expenses toward this limit.
Physician Services Health care services a licensed medical physician (M.D. – Medical Doctor or D.O. – Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine) provides or coordinates. Plan A benefit your employer, union or other group sponsor provides to you to pay for your health care services. Preauthorization A decision by your health insurer or plan that equipment is medically necessary. Sometimes called prior authorization, prior approval or precertification. Your health insurance or plan may require preauthorization for certain services before you receive them, except in an emergency. Preauthorization isn’t a promise your health insurance or plan will cover the cost. Preferred Provider A provider who has a contract with your health insurer or plan to provide services to you at a discount. Check your policy to see if you can see all preferred providers or if your health insurance or plan has a “tiered” network and you must pay extra to see some providers. Your health insurance or plan may have preferred providers who are also “participating” providers. Participating providers also contract with your health insurer or plan, but the discount may not be as great, and you may have to pay more. Premium The amount that must be paid for your health insurance or plan. You and/or your employer usually pay it monthly, quarterly or yearly. Prescription Drug Coverage Health insurance or plan that helps pay for prescription drugs and medications. Prescription Drugs Drugs and medications that by law require a prescription. a health care service, treatment plan, prescription drug or durable medical
Primary Care Physician A physician (M.D. – Medical Doctor or D.O. – Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine) who directly provides or coordinates a range of health care services for a patient. Primary Care Provider A physician (M.D. – Medical Doctor or D.O. – Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine), nurse practitioner, clinical nurse specialist or physician assistant, as allowed under state law, who provides, coordinates or helps a patient access a range of health care services. Provider A physician (M.D. – Medical Doctor or D.O. – Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine), health care professional or health care facility licensed, certified or accredited as required by state law. Specialist A physician specialist focuses on a specific area of medicine or a group of patients to diagnose, manage, prevent or treat certain types of symptoms and conditions. A non-physician specialist is a provider who has more training in a specific area of health care. UCR (Usual, Customary and Reasonable) The amount paid for a medical service in a geographic area based on what providers in the area usually charge for the same or similar medical service. The UCR amount sometimes is used to determine the allowed amount. Urgent Care Care for an illness, injury or condition serious enough that a reasonable person would seek care right away, but not so severe as to require emergency room care.
For additional information, please refer to your detailed plan summary. In the event of a discrepancy, the carrier Plan Document shall prevail.

NEWBORNS’ AND MOTHERS’ HEALTH PROTECTION ACT OF 1996 (NEWBORN’S ACT) Group health plans and health insurance issuers generally may not, under federal law, restrict benefits for any hospital length of stay in connection with childbirth for the mother or newborn child to less than 48 hours following a vaginal delivery, or less than 96 hours following a cesarean section. However, federal law generally does not prohibit the mother's or newborn's attending provider, after consulting with the mother, from discharging the mother or her newborn earlier than 48 hours (or 96 hours as applicable). In any case, plans and issuers may not, under federal law, require that a provider obtain authorization from the plan or the issuer for prescribing a length of stay not in excess of 48 hours (or 96 hours). Under WHCRA, group health plans, insurance companies and health maintenance organizations (HMOs) offering mastectomy coverage must also provide coverage for reconstructive surgery in a manner determined in consultation with the attending physician and the patient. Coverage includes reconstruction of the breast on which the mastectomy was performed, surgery and reconstruction of the other breast to produce a symmetrical appearance, and prostheses and treatment of physical complications at all stages of the mastectomy, including lymph edemas. Call your Plan Administrator for more information. QUALIFIED MEDICAL CHILD SUPPORT ORDER (QMCSO) QMCSO is a medical child support order issued under State law that creates or recognizes the existence of an “alternate recipient’s” right to receive benefits for which a participant or beneficiary is eligible under a group health plan. An “alternate recipient” is any child of a participant (including a child adopted by or placed for adoption with a participant in a group health plan) who is recognized under a medical child support order as having a right to enrollment under a group health plan with respect to such participant. Upon receipt, the administrator of a group health plan is required to determine, within a reasonable period of time, whether a medical child support order is qualified, and to administer benefits in accordance with the applicable terms of each order that is qualified. In the event you are served with a notice to provide medical coverage for a dependent child as the result of a legal determination, you may obtain information from your employer on the rules for seeking to enact such coverage. These rules are provided at no cost to you and may be requested from your employer at any time. SPECIAL ENROLLMENT RIGHTS (HIPAA) If you have previously declined enrollment for yourself or your dependents (including your spouse) because of other health insurance coverage, you may in the future be able to enroll yourself or your dependents in this plan, provided that you request enrollment within 30 days after your other coverage ends. In addition, if you have a new dependent as a result of marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents, provided that you request enrollment within 30 days after the marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption. If you leave your job to perform military service, you have the right to elect to continue your existing employer-based health plan coverage for you and your dependents (including spouse) for up to 24 months while in the military. Even if you do not elect to continue coverage during your military service, you have the right to be reinstated in your employer’s health plan when you are reemployed, generally without any waiting periods or exclusions for pre-existing conditions except for service-connected injuries or illnesses. MICHELLE’S LAW Michelle’s Law permits seriously ill or injured college students to continue coverage under a group health plan when they must leave school on a full-time basis due to their injury or illness and would otherwise lose coverage. The continuation of coverage applies to a dependent child’s leave of THE WOMEN’S HEALTH A ND CANCER RIGHTS ACT OF 1998 (WHCRA, ALSO KNOWN A S JANET’S LAW) COVERAGE EXTENSION RIGHTS UNDER THE UNIFORMED SERVICES EMPLOYMENT AND REEMPLOYMENT RIGHTS ACT (USERRA)
absence from (or other change in enrollment) a postsecondary educational institution (college or university) because of a serious illness or injury, while covered under a health plan. This would otherwise cause the child to lose dependent status under the terms of the plan. Coverage will be continued until: 1. One year from the start of the medically necessary leave of absence, or 2. The date on which the coverage would otherwise terminate under the terms of the health plan; whichever is earlier. MENTAL HEALTH PARITY AND ADDICTION EQUITY ACT OF 2008 This act expands the mental health parity requirements in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the Internal Revenue Code and the Public Health Services Act by imposing new mandates on group health plans that provide both medical and surgical benefits and mental health or substance abuse disorder benefits. Among the new requirements, such plans (or the health insurance coverage offered in connection with such plans) must ensure that: The financial requirements applicable to mental health or substance abuse disorder benefits are no more restrictive that the predominant financial requirements applied to substantially all medical and surgical benefits covered by the plan (or coverage), and there are no separate cost sharing requirements that are applicable only with respect to mental health or substance abuse disorder benefits. GENETIC INFORMATION NON-DISCRIMINATION ACT (GINA) GINA broadly prohibits covered employers from discriminating against an employee, individual, or member because of the employee’s “genetic information,” which is broadly defined in GINA to mean (1) genetic tests of the individual, (2) genetic tests of family members of the individual, and (3) the manifestation of a disease or disorder in family members of such individual. GINA also prohibits employers from requesting, requiring, or purchasing an employee’s genetic information. This prohibition does not extend to information that is requested or required to comply with the certification requirements of family and medical leave laws, or to information inadvertently obtained through lawful inquiries under, for example, the Americans with Disabilities Act, provided the employer does not use the information in any discriminatory manner. In the event a covered employer lawfully (or inadvertently) acquires genetic information, the information must be kept in a separate file and treated as a confidential medical record, and may be disclosed to third parties only in very limited situations. CONSOLIDATED OMNIBUS BUDGET RECONCILIATION ACT (COBRA) The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA) requires employers who provide medical coverage to their employees to offer such coverage to employees and covered family members on a temporary basis when there has been a change in circumstances that would otherwise result in a loss of such coverage [26 USC §4980B ] This benefit, known as “continuation coverage,” applies if, for example, dependent children become independent, spouses get divorced, or employees leave the employer. CHILDREN'S HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM REAUTHORIZATION ACT (CHIPRA) Effective April 1, 2009 employees and dependents who are eligible for coverage, but who have not enrolled, have the right to elect coverage during the plan year under two circumstances: • The employee’s or dependent’s state Medicaid or CHIP (Children's Health Insurance Program) coverage terminates because the individual cease to be eligible. • The employee or dependent becomes eligible for a CHIP premium assistance subsidy under state Medicaid or CHIP (Children's Health Insurance Program). Employees must request this special enrollment within 60 days of the loss of coverage and/or within 60 days of when eligibility is determined for the premium subsidy. PREMIUM ASSISTANCE U NDER MEDICAID AND CHILDREN’S HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM (CHIP) If you or your children are eligible for Medicaid or CHIP and you’re eligible for health coverage from your employer, your state may have a premium assistance program that can help pay for coverage, using funds from their
Medicaid or CHIP programs. If you or your children aren’t eligible for Medicaid or CHIP, you won’t be eligible for these premium assistance programs but you may be able to buy individual insurance coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace. For more information, visit www.healthcare.gov. If you or your dependents are already enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP and you live in a State listed below, contact your State Medicaid or CHIP office to find out if premium assistance is available. If you or your dependents are NOT currently enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP, and you think you or any of your dependents might be eligible for either of these programs, contact your State Medicaid or CHIP office or dial 1-877-KIDS NOW or www.insurekidsnow.gov to find out how to apply. If you qualify, ask your state if it has a program that might help you pay the premiums for an employer-sponsored plan. If you or your dependents are eligible for premium assistance under Medicaid or CHIP, as well as eligible under your employer plan, your employer must allow you to enroll in your employer plan if you aren’t already enrolled. This is called a “special enrollment” opportunity, and you must request coverage within 60 days of being determined eligible for premium assistance. If you have questions about enrolling in your employer plan, contact the Department of Labor at www.askebsa.dol.gov or call 1-866-444-EBSA (3272). If you live in one of the following states, you may be eligible for assistance paying your employer health plan premiums. The following list of states is current as of July 31, 2023.
