Designated Providers. The Medical Plan provides coverage for counseling in areas such as mental illness, alcohol and other drug abuse, marriage, debt (financial), and family support. To be eligible for coverage, counseling must be provided within the designated network. Refer to the Medical Summary Plan Description for specific benefits and eligibility requirements.
Designated Providers. If you have a medical condition that we believe needs special services, we may direct you to a Designated Provider chosen by us. If you require certain complex Covered Health Care Services for which expertise is limited, we may direct you to a Network facility or provider that is outside your local geographic area. In both cases, Benefits will only be paid if your Covered Health Care Services for that condition are provided by or arranged by the Designated Provider chosen by us. You or your Network Physician must notify us of special service needs (such as transplants or morbid obesity surgery) that might warrant referral to a Designated Provider. If you do not notify us in advance, and if you receive services from an out-of-Network facility (regardless of whether it is a Designated Provider) or other out-of-Network provider, Benefits will not be paid. Health Care Services from Out-of-Network Providers If specific Covered Health Care Services are not available from a Network provider, you may be eligible for Benefits when Covered Health Care Services are received from out-of-Network providers. In this situation, your Network Physician will notify us and, if we confirm that care is not available from a Network provider, we will work with you and your Network Physician to coordinate care through an out-of-Network provider.
