COVERAGE IS GUARANTEED Past or present health conditions will not prevent you from getting coverage. 3

Your plan choices All IU Health Plans are grouped into three different categories -- Bronze, Silver and Gold. The different categories do not reflect the quality or amount of care you can expect to receive. Each category has a different level of cost sharing, or what you and your plan will pay as a certain percentage of costs of medical care, including deductible, coinsurance and copayments. In general terms, monthly premiums will go up as IU Health Plans pays more of your health costs.

In general, this is how the costs of the plans break down:

BRONZE

SILVER

GOLD

Your health plan pays 60%

Your health plan pays 70%

Your health plan pays 80%

You pay 40%

You pay 30%

You pay 20%

Keep in mind, if you are eligible for a Special Enrollment Period you may qualify for financial discounts to help pay for your coverage.

How do you decide whether to go with Bronze, Silver or Gold? It’s difficult to predict your entire healthcare needs for the upcoming year. You should try to pick a plan that fits your budget and meets your family’s expected needs.   If you don’t expect to use regular medical services, such as going to the doctor, and don’t take regular prescriptions, you may want a Bronze plan. These plans have a lower monthly premium but pay less of your costs when you need care.   If you expect to occasionally use medical services and take prescriptions, you may want a Silver plan. These plans balance the monthly premium with the other costs of care that you may need.   If you expect to use a lot of medical services or need regular prescriptions, you may want a Gold plan. The monthly premiums will be higher, but the plan will pay more of the costs when you need care. 4

Understanding more about IU Health Plans benefits IU Health Plans in-network benefit IU Health Plans covers healthcare services for physicians and hospitals that are in network only. You can see our directory of covered physicians and hospitals at iuhealthplans.org/individual. If you have a true emergency, your care is covered at any hospital. A true emergency is when you have a serious medical condition that could cause lasting harm or loss of life if you do not seek care immediately, such as a vehicle accident, difficulty breathing or severe bleeding.

IU Health Plans programs To make sure you are receiving the best care possible, IU Health Plans has several programs that are focused on your health and wellness. Sometimes these programs are called Utilization Management, or UM, programs. The UM programs provide the following types of services:   IU Health Plans may review information before your doctor or hospital visit to make sure you are getting the best quality care at the right time and place. This is called prior authorization of services.   If you visit the hospital, IU Health Plans may work with a team of providers to make sure you receive the right services and coordinated care to help you get better and stay well.   If you have multiple chronic conditions, IU Health Plans may support your doctor with identifying the services you need to get well and maintain your health. It is important that you know that UM decision making is based only on appropriateness of care and service and existence of coverage. IU Health Plans does not specifically reward practitioners or other individuals for issuing denials of coverage. Financial incentives for UM decision makers do not encourage decisions that result in underutilization.

IU Health Plans pharmacy services All IU Health Plans choices have prescription drug coverage. You can access our formulary directory to see what medications are covered at iuhealthplans.org/individual. Each plan option has six different levels or tiers of drug coverage. In general, the amount you have to pay for a medication will go up as the tiers get higher, with the exception of Tier 6. The type of medication covered is also different for each tier. Generic and preventive medications are generally covered in Tier 1 at lower cost to you, whereas, specialty medications are generally covered in Tier 5 at higher cost to you. Some preventive care medications are covered in Tier 6 at no cost to you. A team of healthcare professionals, including nurses, pharmacists and physicians, determines prescription drug coverage and what medications are assigned to each tier. If you have questions regarding whether a particular medication is covered and at what tier, please call IU Health Plans at 866.321.8963. To request a medication that is not on the formulary, your healthcare provider can contact Provider Services at 855.413.2434 to request a drug exception review or an expedited drug exception review. You can also contact Member Services at 855.413.2432 for additional information on this process.
