Definitions

Cost Sharing

The share of costs covered by your insurance that you pay out of your own pocket. This term generally includes deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments, or similar charges, but it doesn't include premiums, balance billing amounts for non-network providers, or the cost of non-covered services.

Group #

Each employer that purchases a health plan for its employees also has a number. This group number identifies the specific benefits associated with your employer’s plan. 

Member ID

Each person covered by a health insurance plan has a unique ID number that allows healthcare providers and their staff to verify coverage and arrange payment for services. It’s also the number health insurers use to look up specific members and answer questions about claims and benefits.

Network

Refers to a specified group of physicians, hospitals, medical clinics and other health care providers that your plan may require you to use in order for you to get any coverage at all under the plan, or that the plan may encourage you to use because it may pay more of your bill if you use their network providers (i.e., go in-network) than if you do not (i.e., go out-of-network).

Preventive Care

Preventive care visits/services are designed to keep you healthy or to prevent illness, and are not intended to treat an existing illness, injury or condition.

Primary Care Provider

The practitioner (physician, nurse practitioner or physician’s assistant) that you choose from your plan network to supervise, coordinate and provide initial and basic care to you. The personal provider initiates referrals for specialist care and maintains continuity of patient care (usually a physician practicing internal medicine, family practice or pediatrics).

Rx

Prescription

Specialist Visit

Medical care rendered by a specialist (e.g. urologist, cardiologist) rather than a primary care physician.
