Definitions for Terms Found on the Plan Summary Keystone Point of Service Primary Care Physician (PCP) MLH Select Plan Referred (or Referral) Self-Referred ACO PLUS Network Keystone Network This refers to Keystone Health Plan East (KHPE), the business unit of IBC that administers your plan and manages the KHPE provider network. This refers to a type of medical plan. It combines some features of an HMO, like needing to select a Primary Care Physician and using referrals, with those of a PPO plan, where participants have the freedom to use any in or out-of-network provider. This is a doctor trained to treat a wide variety of health-related problems, and responsible for referral to specialists as needed. The term includes Family Practice, Internal Medicine, Pediatrician, OB/GYN and General Medicine This is the ACO based Medical plan introduced by MLH in January 1, 2015. IBC refers to this as a Point of Service Plan because of how the plan is designed. Referred care means your PCP has determined that you need to see a Specialist to receive care for your medical condition and has authorized the care through your insurance plan. This is sent electronically from your PCP to the Specialist physician s office. Self-Referred care means you choose to see a Specialist without a referral from your PCP. Under the MLH Select Plan you are able to seek care from any provider, but you cost will be higher without obtaining a referral. This is IBC s general name for the network of physicians and facilities that participate with your plan. This network is used by employees of MLH, Jefferson and Magee Rehab. MLH refers to this network as the SelectPLUS Network. This is the KHPE network of physicians and facilities available in the Philadelphia region.
