Out-of-Network Limited Benefit Payment Schedule • Pasadena ISD has a Limited Out-of-Network benefit payment

Out-of-Network Limited Benefit Payment Schedule • Pasadena ISD has a Limited Out-of-Network benefit payment schedule. When you need medical care, your Aetna health benefits plan gives you and your participating physician a choice. Advise your participating physician that it is important to you that the highest level of benefit coverage is desired by ensuring to you that they refer you to only in network facilities and providers with Aetna. • Limits on authorized costs associated with Out-of-Network facilities/providers. To help curb excessive out-of-network facility/provider costs, Pasadena ISD has established a Limited Out-of-Network fee schedule that limits the Plan’s exposure to the market rate for non-emergency services and procedures. If you use an out-of-network facility or provider, you will be responsible for paying the difference between the covered amount (which is based on established rates for our geographic area) and the amount the facility charges. If you incur these expenses, they will not apply to your coinsurance maximum. • When you use a Network provider, you are protected from charges that are greater than the "allowed" amount. However, when you use an out-of-network provider, you may have to pay for any of the charges that are greater than the "allowed" amount in addition to your coinsurance and deductible. • All out-of-network provider and facility types will be included in the Limited Out-of Network benefit reimbursement. Examples include, but are not limited to: hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, physicians, pathology laboratories, radiology centers, psychologists, master social workers, physical therapists, certified nurse anesthetists, outpatient dialysis, radiology, laboratory, sleep lab, MRI/CT etc. • NOTE: It is your responsibility to make sure your physician, facility or hospital is in-network or you will pay out-of-network costs. You can help keep costs down by using network providers. Page 4

Choosing A Plan that is Right for You • Making the right plan choice

Choosing A Plan that is Right for You • Making the right plan choice can be a difficult decision. This decision should be based on several things such as your personal medical condition and usage of services, financial situation, and your level of comfort with coinsurance vs. copayments. The following definitions may assist you in the decision-making process. • Co-payment: the predetermined dollar amount you will pay for a service (Examples: physician office visits, urgent care, emergency room, physical therapy, counseling). • Coinsurance: percentage employee is responsible for paying up to a specific dollar amount per calendar year (Covered services paid from 50 -100% depending on the plan selected and service rendered). • Deductible: initial out-of-pocket costs that must be paid before the plan begins to pay benefits (Either $500 or $2, 500 based on plan elected). • Your Aetna Choice POS II Plans do not require you to select a network primary care physician (PCP), although selecting a PCP is encouraged. These plans also allow you to self-refer to a specialist. Your choice of provider dictates the amount you will pay in copayments, coinsurance and/or deductibles. Page 10
