Premiums, balance -billed charges, penalties for failure
to obtain preauthorization for services and health care
this plan doesn't cover.
Even though you pay these expenses, they don't count toward
the out—of—pocket limit.
Will you pay less if you
use a network provider?
Yes. See wwa.providerlookuponline.com/
harvardpilgrim/po7/Search.aspx or call

This plan uses a provider network. You will pay less if you
use a provider in the plan's network. You will pay the most if
you use an out -of -network provider, and you might receive a
bill from a provider for the difference between the provider's
charge and what your plan pays (balance -billing). Be aware,
your network provider might use an out -of -network provider
for some services (such as lab work). Check with your provider
before you get services.
Do you need a referral to Yes, some exceptions apply.

This plan will pay some or all of the costs to see a specialist
for covered services but only if you have a referral before you
see the specialist.
