If you or a dependent's life is in danger or
you are going to lose a limb, go to the emergency facility nearest
you. |
|
If necessary, and you are unable to drive, call
911 for emergency transport. |
|
If you are unsure about the best place for care,
and it is possible given the circumstances, call your physician. |
|
At the hospital or urgent care center you will
need to provide your insurance company's name and your identification/subscriber
number. This information is on your Identification Card. |
Remember: Before you leave the hospital/urgent
care center, you will probably have to pay an emergency room co-pay. Your
co-pay amount is typically listed on your Identification Card. If the
person with the emergency is admitted into the hospital, the emergency
co-pay may be waived and an inpatient co-pay or deductible may be required
instead.
To ensure payment for the emergency services received,
you must notify your insurance company within a pre-determined amount
of time. The benefit summary explains what your particular plan requires
and covers for emergencies, or call the toll-free number on your Identification
Card.
