Will you pay less if you use a preferred provider?Yes. For a list of preferred providers call (888) 266-4462. If your provider is not on our preferred provider’s list, we are happy to work with them to get them into our preferred provider’s list.This plan uses a preferred provider network. You will pay less if you use a preferred provider.   You will pay the most if you use a non-preferred provider’s open network. You may receive a bill from a provider for the difference between the provider’s charge and what your plan pays (balance billing). (See Footnote 7)
Do you need a referral/preauthorization to see a specialist?Yes, a referral/preauthorization is required from your primary care provider to see a specialist.

Annual Wellness Visits   Understanding the annual wellness visits and how they apply towards your deductible:   If the test is ordered has not been performed within the age-appropriate guidelines   Before scheduling your procedure, you should know your screening/test category. You should obtain the pre-procedure diagnosis code (meaning the reason for the test/screening) from the provider’s scheduler or medical assistant.   With this information, we can determine if the screening/test with this diagnosis (provided by the provider, scheduler, or medical assistant) is covered under the policy as preventive or diagnostic.   If so, will the diagnosis be processed as preventive or diagnostic?    If you are not sure if the test being ordered will be categorized as preventive or diagnostic, which can impact your potential cost, we suggest that before your test, you reach out to our benefits team and/or your provider to help you plan for the potential costs.   Much of this starts with understanding the reason for your test. Is it preventive, such as a routine mammogram, colonoscopy, or prostate cancer/ colon cancer screening? Or is it diagnostic for evaluation reasons or treatment of an existing condition? Is the test being ordered for chronic disease management for ongoing conditions or evaluation and diagnosis of new health issues? Is the exam(s) and screenings/tests and/or immunizations required solely for employment, immigration, licenses, travel, or other types of insurance?    If any of the above services are included in your annual wellness visit, you may be responsible for the service if your deductible has not been met. This is because your procedure will be diagnostic. You may want to ask; will the allowable amount be allocated toward my deductible? By having your provider get a pre-authorization we can help reduce costs by negotiating a single-use case with agreed-upon fees.   Could my screening/test start as a preventive and become a diagnostic for evaluation reasons or treatment of an existing condition? If this occurs, a portion or all of that benefit could be the patient’s responsibility. We would evaluate the CPT/Diagnosis/Modifier combinations and medical history available using billing guidelines from CMS.

[1] An amount you could owe during a coverage period (usually one year) for covered health care services before your plan begins to pay. An overall deductible applies to all or almost all covered items and services. A plan with an overall deductible may also have a separate deductible that applies to specific services or groups of services. In addition, a plan may have only a separate deductible. (For example, if your deductible is $5,000, your plan won’t pay anything until you’ve met your $5,000 deductible for covered health care services subject to the deductible.) The exception is health and wellness.

[2] Using an open-network preferred provider means the member will potentially pay the least amount when the provider accepts the fee schedule allowed amount and the not allowed amount. One example of a preferred provider is a provider who accepts the fee schedule rates Nova pays as the allowed amount for the service and normally will not balance bill the member. If the provider does balance bill it is an agreed-upon rate that the member is notified about prior to services because there is a preauthorization or a single case agreement in place for the services. A preferred provider needs a single case agreement to keep the members’ costs to a minimum. Nova always suggests that the member works with our claims and preauthorization teams shop the best price for the service to be provided. Be aware, your preferred provider network. might use a non-preferred provider’s open network for services such as lab tests. Check with Nova benefits department before you get services.

[3] Non-Preferred Providers are also considered part of the open network, considered a provider who doesn’t have a contract or will not accept a single case agreement or not accept the Nova fee schedule that is included in a preauthorization to provide services. If your plan covers non-preferred providers, you’ll usually pay more to see a non-preferred provider than a preferred provider. Nova also refers to these providers as “non-participating”.

[4] Members may request temporary assistance due to hardship and need to reduce the deductible requirements. This is granted on a case-by-case basis.

[5] Using an open-network preferred provider means the member will potentially pay the least amount. The Provider accepts the fee schedule allowed amount and not the allowed amount. One example of a preferred provider is a provider who accepts the fee schedule rates Nova pays as the allowed amount for the service and normally will not balance bill the Member. If the provider does balance bill, it is an agreed-upon rate, that the Member is notified about prior to services because there is a preauthorization or a single case agreement in place for the services. With a preferred provider that needs a single case agreement to keep the Member’s cost to a minimum. Nova always suggests that the Member works with our claims and preauthorization teams shop for the best price for the service to be provided.

[7] When a provider bills you for the balance remaining on the bill that your plan doesn’t cover, this amount is the difference between the actual billed amount and the allowed amount. For example, if the provider charge is $200.00 and the allowed amount is $110.00, the provider may bill you for the remaining $90.00. This happens most often when you see a NON-preferred provider. An open network provider (preferred provider) might not bill the not allowed amount for the service.
