Coverage Synopsis
Coverage with the BluePreferred HSA plan comes with the value of choice. Members have the advantage of deciding which deductible amount and coverage fits their lives and their budget. The higher your deductible, the lower your monthly premium.
When using an in-network provider, you pay nothing for child’s preventive services and female cancer screenings such as Mammograms and PAP tests. Office visits require a standard fee of $25 and Emergency Care requires $50. For services such as Hospitalization, Diagnostic Tests, and Physical Therapy, you pay your selected coinsurance percentages after the deductible is met. With the 100% plan, CareFirst will pay for 100% of covered expenses once your deductible has been reached.
BluePreferred HSA offers Vision Services and Prescription Drug Benefits with a $100 deductible and $10/generic, $25/Preferred Brand, $45/Non-Preferred Brand copayments. Vision services extend to an annual routine eye exam that requires a $10 copayment.
