7 PPO, HMO-POS and HMO defined What s the difference? PPO Preferred Provider Organization: You can go to any doctor and health care facility you choose, without a referral, though you pay less if you stay in the network. HMO-POS Health Maintenance Organization with Point of Service: You must select a primary care physician who oversees your care and will refer you to a specialist when the need arises. POS means you have coverage that travels with you when you leave the service area. HMO Health Maintenance Organization: HMOs require you to have a primary care physician and, in most instances, also require e that your doctors and health care facilities are within the plan-specific network. 7
8 The best plan for your wallet Considerations when choosing a plan: Deductible the amount you must pay before your plan begins to pay its share Coinsurance the percentage of the cost of the service that you pay Copay a fixed dollar amount you pay to health care providers each time you use their services, such as an office visit Out-of-pocket maximum the most you have to spend for copays, coinsurance and deductibles in any given year 8
9 Light, balanced and extended plans There are three bundle levels, each with varied plan options to fit your needs. Ask yourself: What works best for your physical and financial health status? Which includes your doctors and hospitals? Light: Lower monthly premiums and higher out-of-pocket costs Balanced: Ab balance between cost and coverage Extended: Higher monthly premiums and lower out-of-pocket costs 9

21 Part D prescription drug coverage Three coverage stages: What the plan pays What you pay What you pay What the plan pays What you pay Initial coverage stage After your deductible, if you have one, you pay a portion of the cost and the plan pays the rest. Coverage gap stage Once you and the plan pay $2,960, you pay much of the cost, but, because we discount the cost of your drugs, you never pay full price. Catastrophic coverage stage Once you reach $4,700, your cost-sharing drops to its lowest and you stay in this stage until the end of the year. 21
22 Understanding your formulary All Medicare Part D plans are required to have a list of covered drugs known as a formulary The drugs are listed by drug category and class Blues Medicare Advantage plan formularies have five tiers Tier 1: Preferred generic drugs Tier 2: Nonpreferred generic drugs Tier 3: Preferred brands Tier 4: Nonpreferred brands Tier 5: Specialty Formularies (drug lists) are available at 22
23 Your formulary drug tiers Drug tier Includes Helpful tips Tier 1: Preferred generic drugs Many commonly prescribed generic drugs and other lowcost drugs Use Tier 1 drugs for the lowest copayments. Tier 2: Nonpreferred generic drugs Additional low-cost drugs Tier 2 drugs keep copayments in the lower range. Tier 3: Preferred brand drugs Preferred brand-name drugs The lowest copayments among brand-name drugs. Tier 4: Nonpreferred brand drugs Nonpreferred brand-name drugs Many nonpreferred brand drugs have lower-cost alternatives in Tiers 1, 2 and 3. Ask your doctor. Tier 5: Specialty drugs Very high-cost drugs To learn more about drugs in this tier, contact Customer Service at the number on the back of your card. 23
