Each insurance policy is different, so take the time to understand your plan. The amount of coverage your plan provides varies depending on: your insurance company, your healthcare benefits package and your specific plan. For additional information, contact your plan directly.
To obtain the details of your policy, contact the Customer Service or Member Services Department at your insurance company. The phone numbers are on your insurance card or in your benefits book. They will be able to tell you about your in-network and out-of-network coverage for care and what your financial responsibility will be. Many insurance companies limit payments to medical providers using their own fee schedule of usual, customary and reasonable rates, so ask about this.
