Getting your medical expenses covered by your health plan can be frustrating, but a little knowledge can go a long way.
You can start by checking the following on your health plan:
- Do you need a referral form from your primary care physician in order to see the specialist?
- Does the plan require prior authorization for a planned surgery or hospital stay?
- Do you have to select a physician from a network for the charges to be fully covered?
- What does your plan cover?
- What does it limit or exclude?
