Precertification lists are an essential part of the plan details and features. They outline the terms and conditions you'll need to agree to before getting started.

If you're presented with a list of terms and conditions, you'll be asked to indicate your agreement and acceptance by selecting a specific button, such as "I Accept".

Medical Policy Bulletins

Medical Policy Bulletins are an essential part of our health insurance plan, outlining the criteria for coverage of specific medical treatments and services. These bulletins are reviewed and updated regularly to ensure they align with the latest medical research and guidelines.

Our plan's medical policy bulletins cover a wide range of topics, including surgery, hospitalization, and diagnostic testing. This means you can have confidence that your treatment will be covered if it meets the outlined criteria.

Some examples of medical policy bulletins include coverage for bariatric surgery, which is only approved for individuals with a BMI of 40 or higher, and coverage for fertility treatments, which requires a minimum of six months of failed attempts at conception.
