Important Notice

Important Notice from Calvo's Select Care Health Plans About

Our Prescription Drug Coverage and Medicare

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has determined that the Calvo's Select Care prescription drug coverage is, on average, expected to pay out as much as the standard Medicare prescription drug coverage will pay for all plan participants and is considered Creditable Coverage. This means that you do not need to enroll in Medicare Part D and pay extra for prescription drug coverage. If you decide to enroll in Medicare Part D later, you will not have to pay a penalty for late enrollment as long as you keep your FEHB coverage.

However, if you choose to enroll in Medicare Part D, you can keep your FEHB coverage and your FEHB plan will coordinate benefits with Medicare.

Remember: If you are an annuitant and you cancel your FEHB coverage, you may not re-enroll in the FEHB Program.

Please be advised

If you lose or drop your FEHB coverage and go 63 days or longer without prescription drug coverage that is at least as good as Medicare’s prescription drug coverage, your monthly Medicare Part D premium will go up at least 1 percent per month for every month that you did not have that coverage. For example, if you go 19 months without Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage, your premium will always be at least 19 percent higher than what many other people pay. You will have to pay this higher premium as long as you have Medicare prescription drug coverage. In addition, you may have to wait until the next Annual Coordinated Election Period (October 15 through December 7) to enroll in Medicare Part D.

Medicare’s Low Income Benefits

For people with limited income and resources, extra help paying for a Medicare prescription drug plan is available. Information regarding this program is available through the Social Security Administration (SSA) online at www.socialsecurity.gov, or call the SSA at 800-772-1213, (TTY: 800-325-0778).

This brochure is the official statement of benefits. No verbal statement can modify or otherwise affect the benefits, limitations, and exclusions of this brochure. It is your responsibility to be informed about your health benefits.

If you are enrolled in this Plan, you are entitled to the benefits described in this brochure. If you are enrolled in Self Plus One or Self and Family coverage, each eligible family member is also entitled to these benefits. You do not have a right to benefits that were available before January 1, 2021, unless those benefits are also shown in this brochure.

OPM negotiates benefits and rates with each plan annually. Benefit changes are effective January 1, 2020, and changes are summarized on page 16. Rates are shown at the end of this brochure.




Plain Language

All FEHB brochures are written in plain language to make them easy to understand. Here are some examples,

  • Except for necessary technical terms, we use common words. For instance, “you” means the enrollee and each covered family member, “we” means Calvo's SelectCare.
  • We limit acronyms to ones you know. FEHB is the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program. OPM is the United States Office of Personnel Management. If we use others, we tell you what they mean.
  • Our brochure and other FEHB plans’ brochures have the same format and similar descriptions to help you compare plans.



Stop Health Care Fraud!

Fraud increases the cost of health care for everyone and increases your Federal Employees Health Benefits Program premium.

OPM’s Office of the Inspector General investigates all allegations of fraud, waste, and abuse in the FEHB Program regardless of the agency that employs you or from which you retired.

Protect Yourself From Fraud – Here are some things that you can do to prevent fraud:

  • Do not give your plan identification (ID) number over the telephone or to people you do not know, except to your doctor, other provider, or authorized plan or OPM representative.
  • Let only the appropriate medical professionals review your medical record or recommend services.
  • Avoid using health care providers who say that an item or service is not usually covered, but they know how to bill us to get it paid.
  • Carefully review explanations of benefits (EOBs) that you receive from us.
  • Periodically review your claims history for accuracy to ensure we have not been billed for services you did not receive.
  • Do not ask your doctor to make false entries on certificates, bills or records in order to get us to pay for an item or service.
  • If you suspect that a provider has charged you for services you did not receive, billed you twice for the same service, or misrepresented any information, do the following:
    • Call the provider and ask for an explanation. There may be an error.
    • If the provider does not resolve the matter, call us at 671-477-9808 and explain the situation.

If we do not resolve the issue:

CALL - THE HEALTH CARE FRAUD HOTLINE

877-499-7295

OR go to www.opm.gov/our-inspector-general/hotline-to-report-fraud-waste-or-abuse/complaint-form/

The online reporting form is the desired method of reporting fraud in order to ensure accuracy, and a quicker response time.

You can also write to:

United States Office of Personnel Management
Office of the Inspector General Fraud Hotline
1900 E Street NW Room 6400
Washington, DC 20415-1100

  • Do not maintain as a family member on your policy:
  • Your former spouse after a divorce decree or annulment is final (even if a court order stipulates otherwise);
  • Your child age 26 or over(unless he/she is disabled and incapable of self support).

A carrier may request that an enrollee verify the eligibility of any or all family members listed as covered under the enrollee's FEHB enrollment.

  • If you have any questions about the eligibility of a dependent, check with your personnel office if you are employed, with your retirement office (such as OPM) if you are retired, or with the National Finance Center if you are enrolled under Temporary Continuation of Coverage (TCC).
  • Fraud or intentional misrepresentation of material fact is prohibited under the Plan. You can be prosecuted for fraud and your agency may take action against you. Examples of fraud includes falsifying a claim to obtain FEHB benefits, or trying to obtaining service or coverage for yourself or for someone else who is not eligible for coverage, or enrolling in the Plan when you are no longer eligible.
  • If your enrollment continues after you are no longer eligible for coverage (i.e. you have separated from Federal service) and premiums are not paid, you will be responsible for all benefits paid during the period in which premiums were not paid. Your provider may bill you for services received. You may be prosecuted for fraud for knowingly using health insurance benefits for which you have not paid premiums. It is your responsibility to know when you or a family member is no longer eligible to use your health insurance coverage.

Preventing medical mistakes

Medical mistakes continue to be a significant cause of preventable deaths within the United States. While death is the most tragic outcome, medical mistakes cause other problems such as permanent disabilities, extended hospital stays, longer recoveries, and even additional treatments. Medical mistakes and their and their consequences also add significantly to the overall cost of healthcare. Hospitals and healthcare providers are being held accountable for the quality of care and reduction in medical mistakes by their accrediting bodies. You can also improve the quality and safety of your own health care and that of your family members by learning more about and understanding your risks.  Take these simple steps:

1. Ask questions if you have doubts or concerns.

  • Ask questions and make sure you understand the answers.
  • Choose a doctor with whom you feel comfortable talking.
  • Take a relative or friend with you to help you take notes, ask questions and understand answers.

2. Keep and bring a list of all the medications you take.

  • Bring the actual medication or give your doctor and pharmacist a list of all the medicines and dosage that you take, including non-prescription (over-the-counter) medications and nutritional supplements. 
  • Tell your doctor and pharmacist about any drug, food, and other allergies you have, such as to latex.
  • Ask about any risks or side effects of the medication and what to avoid while taking it. Be sure to write down what your doctor or pharmacist says.
  • Make sure your medication is what the doctor ordered. Ask the pharmacist about your medicine if it looks different than you expected.
  • Read the label and patient package insert when you get your medication, including all warnings and instructions.
  • Know how to use your medication. Especially note the times and conditions when your medication should and should not be taken.
  • Contact your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.
  • Understand both the generic and brand names of your medication. This helps ensure you do not receive double dosing from taking both a generic and a brand. It also helps prevent you from taking a medication to which you are allergic.

3. Get the results of any test or procedure.

  • Ask when and how you will get the results of tests or procedures. Will it be in person, by phone, mail, through the Plan or Provider’s portal?
  • Don’t assume the results are fine if you do not get them when expected. Contact your healthcare provider and ask for your results.
  • Ask what the results mean for your care.

4. Talk to your doctor about which hospital or clinic is best for your health needs.

  • Ask your doctor about which hospital or clinic has the best care and results for your condition if you have more than one hospital or clinic to choose from to get the health care you need.
  • Be sure you understand the instructions you get about follow-up care when you leave the hospital or clinic.

5. Make sure you understand what will happen if you need surgery.

  • Make sure you, your doctor, and your surgeon all agree on exactly what will be done during the operation.
  • Ask your doctor, “Who will manage my care when I am in the hospital?”
  • Ask your surgeon:
    • Exactly what will you be doing?
    • About how long will it take?
    • What will happen after surgery
    • How can I expect to feel during recovery?
  • Tell the surgeon, anesthesiologist, and nurses about any allergies, bad reaction to anesthesia, and any medications you are taking.

Preventable Healthcare Acquired Conditions ("Never Events")

When you enter the hospital for treatment of one medical problem, you do not expect to leave with additional injuries, infections, or other serious conditions that occur during the course of your stay. Although some of these complications may not be avoidable, patients do suffer from injuries or illnesses that could have been prevented if doctors or the hospital had taken proper precautions. Errors in medical care that are clearly identifiable, preventable and serious in their consequences for patients, can indicate a significant problem in the safety and credibility of a health care facility.  These conditions and errors are sometimes called “Never Events” or “Serious Reportable Events.”

We have a benefit payment policy that encourages hospitals to reduce the likelihood of hospital-acquired conditions such as certain infections, severe bedsores, and fractures, and to reduce medical errors that should never happen.  When such an event occurs, neither you nor your FEHB plan will incur costs to correct the medical error. 

 




FEHB Facts

Coverage information




TermDefinition
  • No pre-existing condition limitation
We will not refuse to cover the treatment of a condition you had before you enrolled in this Plan solely because you had the condition before you enrolled.
  • Minimum essential coverage (MEC)

Coverage under this plan qualifies as minimum essential coverage. Please visit the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) website at www.irs.gov/uac/Questions-and-Answers-on-the-Individual-Shared-Responsibility-Provision for more information on the individual requirement for MEC.

  • Minimum value standard

Our health coverage meets the minimum value standard of 60% established by the ACA. This means that we provide benefits to cover at least 60% of the total allowed costs of essential health benefits. The 60% standard is an actuarial value; your specific out-of-pocket costs are determined as explained in this brochure.

  • Where you can get information about enrolling in the FEHB Program

See www.opm.gov/healthcare-insurancefor enrollment information as well as:

  • Information on the FEHB Program and plans available to you
  • A health plan comparison tool
  • A list of agencies that participate in Employee Express
  • A link to Employee Express
  • Information on and links to other electronic enrollment systems

Also, your employing or retirement office can answer your questions, and give you brochures for other plans; and other materials you need to make an informed decision about your FEHB coverage. These materials tell you:

  • When you may change your enrollment;
  • How you can cover your family members;
  • What happens when you transfer to another Federal agency, go on leave without pay, enter military service, or retire;
  • When your enrollment ends; and
  • When the next Open Season for enrollment begins.

We don’t determine who is eligible for coverage and, in most cases, cannot change your enrollment status without information from your employing or retirement office.

For information on your premium deductions, you must also contact your employing or retirement office.

 

  • Types of coverage available for you and your family

Self Only coverage is for you alone. Self Plus One coverage is for you and one eligible family member. Self and Family coverage is for you, your spouse, and your dependent children under age 26, including any foster children authorized for coverage by your employing agency or retirement office. Under certain circumstances, you may also continue coverage for a disabled child 26 years of age or older who is incapable of self-support.

If you have a Self Only enrollment, you may change to a Self Plus One or Self and Family enrollment if you marry, give birth, or add a child to your family. You may change your enrollment 31 days before to 60 days after that event. The Self Plus One or Self and Family enrollment begins on the first day of the pay period in which the child is born or becomes an eligible family member. When you change to Self Plus One or Self and Family because you marry, the change is effective on the first day of the pay period that begins after your employing office receives your enrollment form. Benefits will not be available to your spouse until you are married.

Your employing or retirement office will not notify you when a family member is no longer eligible to receive benefits, nor will we. Please tell us immediately of changes in family member status, including your marriage, divorce, annulment, or when your child reaches age 26.

If you or one of your family members is enrolled in one FEHB plan, you or they cannot be enrolled in or covered as a family member by another FEHB plan.

If you have a qualifying life event (QLE) - such as marriage, divorce, or the birth of a child - outside of the Federal Benefits Open Season, you may be eligible to enroll in the FEHB Program, change your enrollment, or cancel coverage. For a complete list of QLEs, visit the FEHB website at www.opm.gov/insure/life-events. If you need assistance, please contact your employing agency, Tribal Benefits Officer, personnel/payroll office, or retirement office.

  • Family member coverage

Family members covered under your Self and Family enrollment are your spouse (including your spouse by valid common-law marriage if you reside in a state that recognizes common-law marriages) and children as described below. A Self Plus One enrollment covers you and your spouse, or one other eligible family member as described below.

Natural children, adopted children, and stepchildren
Coverage: Natural children, adopted children, and stepchildren are covered until their 26th birthday.

Foster children
Coverage: Foster children are eligible for coverage until their 26th birthday if you provide documentation of your regular and substantial support of the child and sign a certification stating that your foster child meets all the requirements. Contact your human resources office or retirement system for additional information.

Children incapable of self-support
Coverage: Children who are incapable of self-support because of a mental or physical disability that began before age 26 are eligible to continue coverage. Contact your human resources office or retirement system for additional information.

Married children
Coverage: Married children (but NOT their spouse or their own children) are covered until their 26th birthday.

Children with or eligible for employer-provided health insurance
Coverage: Children who are eligible for or have their own employer-provided health insurance are covered until their 26th birthday.

You can find additional information at www.opm.gov/healthcare-insurance.

  • Children’s Equity Act

OPM has implemented the Federal Employees Health Benefits Children’s Equity Act of 2000. This law mandates that you be enrolled for Self Plus One or Self and Family coverage in the FEHB Program, if you are an employee subject to a court or administrative order requiring you to provide health benefits for your child(ren).

If this law applies to you, you must enroll in Self Plus One or Self and Family coverage in a health plan that provides full benefits in the area where your children live or provide documentation to your employing office that you have obtained other health benefits coverage for your children. If you do not do so, your employing office will enroll you involuntarily as follows:

  • If you have no FEHB coverage, your employing office will enroll you for Self Plus One or Self and Family coverage, as appropriate, in the lowest-cost nationwide plan option as determined by OPM;
  • If you have a Self Only enrollment in a fee-for-service plan or in an HMO that serves the area where your children live, your employing office will change your enrollment to Self Plus One or Self and Family, as appropriate, in the same option of the same plan; or
  • If you are enrolled in an HMO that does not serve the area where the children live, your employing office will change your enrollment to Self Plus One or Self and Family, as appropriate, in the lowest-cost nationwide plan option as determined by OPM.

As long as the court/administrative order is in effect, and you have at least one child identified in the order who is still eligible under the FEHB Program, you cannot cancel your enrollment, change to Self Only, or change to a plan that does not serve the area in which your children live, unless you provide documentation that you have other coverage for the children.

If the court/administrative order is still in effect when you retire, and you have at least one child still eligible for FEHB coverage, you must continue FEHB coverage into retirement (if eligible) and cannot cancel your coverage, Change to Self Only, or change to a plan that does not serve the area in which your children live as long as the court/administrative order is in effect. Similarly, you cannot change to Self Plus One if the court/administrative order identifies more than one child. Contact your employing office for further information.

  • When benefits and premiums start

The benefits in this brochure are effective January 1. If you joined this Plan during Open Season, your coverage begins on the first day of your first pay period that starts on or after January 1. If you changed plans or plan options during Open Season and you receive care between January 1 and the effective date of coverage under your new plan or option, your claims will be processed according to the 2021 benefits of your prior plan or option.  If you have met (or pay cost-sharing that results in your meeting) the out-of-packet maximum under the prior plan or option, you will not pay cost-sharing for services covered between January 1 and the effective date of coverage under your new plan or option. However, if your prior plan left the FEHB Program at the end of the year, you are covered under that plan’s 2020 benefits until the effective date of your coverage with your new plan. Annuitants’ coverage and premiums begin on January 1. If you joined at any other time during the year, your employing office will tell you the effective date of coverage.

If your enrollment continues after you are no longer eligible for coverage, (i.e. you have separated from Federal service) and premiums are not paid, you will be responsible for all benefits paid during the period in which premiums were not paid. You may be billed for services received directly from your provider. You may be prosecuted for fraud for knowingly using health insurance benefits for which you have not paid premiums. It is your responsibility to know when you or a family member are no longer eligible to use your health insurance coverage.

  • When you retire
When you retire, you can usually stay in the FEHB Program. Generally, you must have been enrolled in the FEHB Program for the last five years of your Federal service. If you do not meet this requirement, you may be eligible for other forms of coverage, such as Temporary Continuation of Coverage (TCC).



When you lose benefits




TermDefinition
  • When FEHB coverage ends

You will receive an additional 31 days of coverage, for no additional premium, when:

  • Your enrollment ends, unless you cancel your enrollment, or
  • You are a family member no longer eligible for coverage.
You may be eligible for spouse equity coverage or Temporary Continuation of Coverage (TCC), or a conversion policy (a non-FEHB individual policy.

Any person covered under the 31-day extension of coverage who is confined in a hospital or other situation for care or treatment on the 31st day of the temporary extension is entitled to continuation of the benefits of the Plan during the continuance of the confinement but not beyond the 60th day after the end of the 31-day temporary extension

You may be eligible for spouse equity coverage or Temporary Continuation coverage (TCC), or a conversion policy (a non-FEHB individual policy.)

  • Upon divorce

If you are divorced from a Federal employee, Tribal employee, or an annuitant, you may not continue to get benefits under your former spouse’s enrollment. This is the case even when the court has ordered your former spouse to provide health coverage to you. However, you may be eligible for your own FEHB coverage under either the spouse equity law or Temporary Continuation of Coverage (TCC). If you are recently divorced or are anticipating a divorce, contact your ex-spouse’s employing or retirement office to get information about your coverage choices. You can also visit OPM’s website at www.opm.gov/healthcare-insurance/healtcare/plan-information/. A carrier may request that an enrollee verify the eligibility of any or all family members listed as covered under the enrollee's FEHB enrollment.

  • Temporary Continuation of Coverage (TCC)

If you leave Federal service, or if you lose coverage because you no longer qualify as a family member, you may be eligible for Temporary Continuation of Coverage (TCC). The Affordable Care Act (ACA) did not eliminate TCC or change the TCC rules. For example, you can receive TCC if you are not able to continue your FEHB enrollment after you retire, if you lose your Federal or Tribal job, if you are a covered dependent child and you turn 26, regardless of marital status, etc.

You may not elect TCC if you are fired from your Federal job or Tribal due to gross misconduct.

Enrolling in TCC. Get the RI 79-27, which describes TCC, from your employing or retirement office or from www.opm.gov/healthcare-insurance. It explains what you have to do to enroll.

Alternatively, you can buy coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace where, depending on your income, you could be eligible for a new kind of tax credit that lowers  your monthly premiums. Visit www.HealthCare.gov to compare plans and see what your premium, deductible, and out-of-pocket costs would be before you make a decision to enroll. Finally, if you qualify for coverage under another group health plan (such as your spouse's plan), you may be able to enroll in that plan. as long as you apply within 30 days of losing FEHBP coverage.

The Affordable Care Act Health Insurance Marketplace is not available in our service area. 

  • Converting to individual coverage

You may convert to a non-FEHB individual policy if:

  • Your coverage under TCC or the spouse equity law ends (If you canceled your coverage or did not pay your premium, you cannot convert);
  • You decided not to receive coverage under TCC or the spouse equity law; or
  • You are not eligible for coverage under TCC or the spouse equity law.

If you leave Federal or Tribal service, your employing office will notify you of your right to convert. You must apply in writing to us within 31 days after you receive this notice. However, if you are a family member who is losing coverage, the employing or retirement office will not notify you. You must apply in writing to us within 31 days after you are no longer eligible for coverage.

Your benefits and rates will differ from those under the FEHB Program; however, you will not have to answer questions about your health, a waiting period will not be imposed and your coverage will not be limited due to pre-existing conditions. When you contact us we will assist you in obtaining information about health benefits coverage inside or outside the Affordable Care Act's Health Insurance marketplace in your state. For assistance in finding coverage, please contact us at 671-477-9808 or visit our website at www.calvos.net.

  • Health Insurance Marketplace

If you would like to purchase health insurance through the ACA's health Insurance Marketplace, please visit www.HealthCare.gov. This is a website provided by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that provides up-to-date information on the Marketplace.

The Affordable Care Act Health Insurance Marketplace is not available in our service area.

 




Section 1. How This Plan Works

This Plan is a health maintenance organization (HMO). OPM requires that FEHB plans be accredited to validate that plan operations and/or care management meet nationally recognized standards. Calvo's SelectCare holds the following accreditation: Accreditation Association of Ambulatory Health Care. To learn more about this plan's accreditation, please visit the following websites: www.aaahc.org. We require you to see specific physicians, hospitals, and other providers that contract with us. These Plan providers coordinate your health care services. We are solely responsible for the selection of these providers in your area. Contact us for a copy of our most recent provider directory. We give you the choice of enrollment in a High Option or a Standard Option.

HMOs emphasize preventive care such as routine office visits, physical exams, well-baby care, and immunizations, in addition to treatment for illness and injury. Our providers follow generally accepted medical practice when prescribing any course of treatment.

When you receive services from Plan providers, you will not have to submit claim forms or pay bills. You pay only the copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles described in this brochure. When you receive services from non-Plan providers, you may have to submit claim forms.

You should join an HMO because you prefer the plan’s benefits, not because a particular provider is available. You cannot change plans because a provider leaves our Plan. We cannot guarantee that any one physician, hospital, or other provider will be available and/or remain under contract with us.

How we pay providers

We contract with individual physicians, medical groups, and hospitals to provide the benefits in this brochure. These Plan providers accept a negotiated payment from us, and you will only be responsible for your cost-sharing (copayments, coinsurance, deductibles, and non-covered services and supplies).

In-Network/Plan Participating Providers

In-Network/Plan Provider means a physician employed by Calvo's SelectCare or any person, organization, health facility, institution or physician who has entered into a contract with Calvo's SelectCare to provide services to our members. Please view or download the most current Calvo's SelectCare Provider Directory at www.calvos.net for the most updated list of Participating Providers.

We encourage you to access your benefits through our Plan/Participating Providers to minimize higher out of pocket expenses for you and your dependents. When you go to a Plan provider, you are assured that your copayments or coinsurance will not be more than the amount shown in this brochure.

Medical, dental, and vision services outside our service area must be prior authorized and approved even if your Plan option has an out-of-network benefit. This is to ensure that these services are covered under your Plan, help you coordinate your care, and minimize your out of pocket expenses. (see Section 3, You need prior Plan approval for certain services). Members may coordinate services for their approved referrals with Out-of-Network/Non-Plan/Non-Participating Providers of their choice through their out-of-network benefit. However, because we do not have contracts with out-of-Network/Non-network providers, some may require payment from you at the time of service. If this occurs, you will need to seek reimbursement from Calvo's SelectCare for the eligible charges (see Section 7 - Filing a claim for covered services).

Out-of-Network/Non-Plan/Non-Participating Providers

Out-of-Network/Non-Plan providers means a physician not employed by Calvo's SelectCare or any person, organization health facility, institution, or physician who has not entered into a contract with Calvo's SelectCare to provide services to our members. Because Out-of-Network/Non-Plan providers are not under contract to limit their charges, Members will be held responsible for any charges in excess of eligible charges.

You may go to a Out-of-Network/non-Plan provider; however, the Plan pays a reduced benefit for certain services from Out-of-Network/non-Plan providers. You may have to pay for the services first and file a claim (which should include all required information and documentation, and translated in English if originals are not in English) with us in order for the Plan to reimburse you (see Section 7 - Filing a claim for covered services). Because Out-of-Network/Non-Plan providers are not under contract to provide specific services, should you decide to go to a Out-of-Network/Non-Plan provider, you may be responsible for coordinating and scheduling services with Out-of-network/Non-Plan providers. Certain services always require prior approval, regardless of whether they are rendered in-network or out-of-network (see Section 3 You need prior Plan approval for certain services). If you self-refer to a provider and/or facility for services which require prior authorization, those services will not be covered.

When covered healthcare services are provided outside of the Service Area by Out-of-Network/Non-Plan healthcare providers, the amount you pay for such services will generally be based on either the Out-of-Network/Non-Plan healthcare provider local payment or the pricing arrangements required by applicable state law. In these situations, you will be liable for the difference between the amount the Out-of-Network/Non-Plan provider bills and the payment we will make for the covered services as set forth in this paragraph. Please be advised that some services may not be covered under your Plan.

In certain situations, we may use other payment bases, such as billed covered charges, the payment we would make if the healthcare services had been obtained within our Service Area and/or by an In-Network provider, or a special negotiated payment, to determine the amount we will pay for services rendered by Out-of-Network/Non-Plan healthcare providers. In these situations, you will be liable for the difference between the amount that the Out-of-Network/Non-Plan healthcare provider bills and the payment we will make for covered services as set forth in this paragraph. Please be advised that some services may not be covered under your Plan.

Preventive care services

Preventive care services are generally covered with no cost-sharing and are not subject to copayments, deductibles or annual limits when received from a network provider in our service area and the Philippines and in accordance with the guidelines set by United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), and the Center for Disease Control's (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.

We protect you against catastrophic out-of-pocket expenses for covered services provided by in-network providers. The IRS limits annual out-of-pocket expenses for covered services, including deductibles and copayments to no more than $7,000 for Self Only enrollment, and $14,000 for a Self Plus One or Self and Family enrollment. The out-of-pocket limit for this Plan may differ from the IRS limit, but cannot exceed that amount.

The Plan does not have out-of-pocket maximums for any out-of-network covered services.

High Option: After your out-of-pocket expenses for services provided by in-network providers, including any applicable deductibles, copayments and coinsurance total  $2,000 for Self Only, or $4,000 for a Self Plus One or $6,000 for Self and Family enrollment in any calendar year, you do not have to pay any more for in-network covered services. The maximum annual limitation on cost sharing for in-network services listed under Self Only of $2,000 applies to each individual, regardless of whether the individual is enrolled in Self Only, Self Plus One, or Self and Family.

Standard Option: After your out-of-pocket expenses for services provided by in-network providers, including any applicable deductibles, copayments and coinsurance total  $3,000 for Self Only, or $6,000 for a Self Plus One or $8,000 for Self and Family enrollment in any calendar year, you do not have to pay any more for in-network covered services. The maximum annual limitation on cost sharing for in-network services listed under Self Only of $3,000 applies to each individual, regardless of whether the individual is enrolled in Self Only, Self Plus One, or Self and Family.

Example Scenario: Your plan has a High Option $2,000 Self Only maximum out-of-pocket limit for covered services provided by in-network providers, a $4,000 Self Plus One maximum out-of-pocket limit for covered services provided by in-network providers, and a $6,000 Self and Family maximum out-of-pocket limit for covered services provided by in-network providers. If you or one of your eligible family members has out-of-pocket qualified medical expenses of $2,000 or more for the calendar year for covered services provided by in-network providers, any remaining qualified medical expenses provided by in-network providers for that individual will be covered fully by your health plan. With a Self Plus One enrollment out-of-pocket maximum of $4,000, the second family member, or an aggregate of enrollee and designated family member, will continue to accrue out-of-pocket qualified medical expenses up to a maximum of $4,000 for the calendar year before their qualified in-network medical expenses will begin to be covered in full. With a Self and Family enrollment out-of-pocket maximum of $6,000, a second family member, or an aggregate of other eligible family members, will continue to accrue out-of-pocket qualified in-network medical expenses up to a maximum of $6,000 for the calendar year before their qualified in-network medical expenses will begin to be covered in full.

High and Standard Options: There is a separate in-network out-of-pocket maximum for prescription drugs. After your out-of-pocket expenses for prescription drugs, including any applicable deductibles, copayments and coinsurance total  $2,000 for Self Only, or $4,000 for a Self Plus One or Self and Family enrollment in any calendar year, you do not have to pay any more for in-network covered prescription drugs. The maximum annual limitation on cost sharing at in-network providers listed under Self Only of $2,000 applies to each individual, regardless of whether the individual is enrolled in Self Only, Self Plus One, or Self and Family.

However, copayments and coinsurance, if applicable for the following services do not count toward your catastrophic protection out-of-pocket maximum, and you must continue to pay copayments, coinsurance, and any difference between billed charges and eligible charges for these services:

  • Expenses for services and supplies that exceed the stated maximum dollar or day limit
  • Expenses from utilizing out-of-network providers
  • Expenses for non-covered benefits

Please be advised that the Plan does not have out-of-pocket maximums for any out-of-network covered services.

Be sure to keep accurate records of your coinsurance/copayments to ensure the plan's calculation of your out-of-pocket maximum is reflected accurately.

Service Area

To enroll in this Plan, you must live in or work in our Service Area. This is where our providers practice. 

Our service area is: The island of Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and the Republic of Belau (Palau).

Ordinarily, you must get your care from providers who contract with us. If you receive care outside our service area, we will pay only for emergency care benefits. We will not pay for any other health care services out of our service area unless the services have prior plan approval.

If you or a covered family member move outside of our service area, you can enroll in another plan. If your dependents live out of the area (for example, if your child goes to college in another state), you should consider enrolling in a fee-for-service plan or an HMO that has agreements with affiliates in other areas. If your dependent lives out of the service area, he/she must still receive prior approval before receiving medical, dental, and/or vision services. 

If you or a family member move, you do not have to wait until Open Season to change plans. Contact your employing or retirement office.

Section 3. How You Get Care

TermDefinition

Identification cards

We will send you an identification (ID) card when you enroll. You should carry your ID card with you at all times. You must show it whenever you receive services from a Plan provider, or fill a prescription at a Plan pharmacy. Until you receive your ID card, use your copy of the Health Benefits Election Form, SF-2809, your health benefits enrollment confirmation (for annuitants), or your electronic enrollment system (such as Employee Express) confirmation letter.

If you do not receive your ID card within 30 days after the effective date of your enrollment, or if you need replacement cards, call us at 671-477-9808 or write to us at      P.O. Box FJ, Hagatna, Guam 96932. 

Where you get covered care

You get care from “Plan providers” and “Plan facilities.” You will only pay copayments, deductibles, and/or coinsurance. How much you pay depends on whether you use a Plan/Participating provider and facility or non-network provider or facility. If you use your out-of-network program, you can get care from non-Plan providers but it will cost you more.

We look at some or all of the following criteria to determine if a provider is recognized and approved by us:

  • Is the provider accredited by a recognized accrediting agency?
  • is the provider appropriately licensed?
  • Is the provider certified by the proper government authority?
  • Are the services rendered within the lawful scope of the provider's respective licensure, certification, and/or accreditation?

Medicare beneficiaries may only receive covered services at a Plan participating Medicare-contracted facility in Guam, Saipan, Hawaii, and the Continental United States. Medicare eligible care and services which are rendered at a facility which is not a Medicare contracted facility, or which is rendered by a physician who is not a Medicare contracted physician will not be covered.

Out-of-Network/Non-Plan providers

Out-of-Network/Non-Plan providers are physician and other health care professionals who are not under contract with this Plan. You can get care from Out-of-Network/non-Plan providers, but it will likely cost you more.

Certain services always require prior approval, regardless of whether they are rendered in-network or out-of-network (see Section 3 You need prior Plan approval for certain services). If you self-refer to a provider and/or facility for services which require prior authorization, those services will not be covered.

In-Network/Plan facilities

In-Network/Plan facilities are hospitals and other facilities in our service area that we contract with to provide covered services to our members. We list these in the provider directory, which we update periodically. The list is also on our website.

In-network/Plan providers

In-Network/Plan providers are physicians and other health care professionals in our service area that we contract with to provide covered services to our members. We credential In-Network/Plan providers according to national standards.

We list In-Network/Plan providers in the provider directory, which we update periodically. The list is also on our website.

What you must do to get covered care It depends on the type of care you need. First, you and each family member must choose a primary care physician. This decision is important since your primary care physician provides or arranges for most of your health care.
Primary care

Your primary care physician can be a family practitioner, internist, obstetrician/gynecologist, or pediatrician for children under 18 years of age . Your primary care physician will provide most of your health care, or give you a referral to see a specialist.

If you want to change primary care physicians or if your primary care physician leaves the Plan, call us. We will help you select a new one.

Specialty care

Your primary care physician, and in some situations, a specialist, will refer you to a specialist for needed care. When you receive a referral from your primary care physician, you must return to the primary care physician after the consultation, unless your primary care physician authorized a certain number of visits without additional referrals. The primary care physician must provide or authorize all follow-up care. Do not go to the specialist for return visits unless your primary care physician gives you a referral. However, you may see an OB/GYN within our provider network without a referral.

Here are some other things you should know about specialty care:

  • If you need to see a specialist frequently because of a chronic, complex, or serious medical condition, your primary care physician will develop a treatment plan that allows you to see your specialist for a certain number of visits without additional referrals. Your primary care physician will use our criteria when creating your treatment plan (the physician may have to get an authorization or approval beforehand).
  • If you are seeing a specialist when you enroll in our Plan, talk to your primary care physician. Your primary care physician will decide what treatment you need. If he or she decides to refer you to a specialist, ask if you can see your current specialist. If your current specialist does not participate with us, you must receive treatment from a specialist who does. Generally, we will not pay for you to see a specialist who does not participate with our Plan.
  • If you are seeing a specialist and your specialist leaves the Plan, call your primary care physician, who will arrange for you to see another specialist. You may receive services from your current specialist until we can make arrangements for you to see someone else.
  • If you have a chronic and disabling condition and lose access to your specialist because we:
    • Terminate our contract with your specialist for other than cause; or
    • Drop out of the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program and you enroll in another FEHB program Plan; or
    • Reduce our service area and you enroll in another FEHB Plan,

You may be able to continue seeing your specialist for up to 90 days after you receive notice of the change. Contact us, or if we drop out of the Program, contact your new plan.

If you are in the second or third trimester of pregnancy and you lose access to your specialist based on the above circumstances, you can continue to see your specialist until the end of your postpartum care, even if it is beyond the 90 days.

Hospital care Your Plan primary care physician or specialist will make necessary hospital arrangements and supervise your care. This includes admission to a skilled nursing or other type of facility.
If you are hospitalized when your enrollment begins

We pay for covered services form the effective date of your enrollment. However, if you are in the hospital when your enrollment in our Plan begins, call our customer service department immediately at 671-477-9808. If you are new to the FEHB Program, we will arrange for you to receive care and provide benefits for your covered services while you are in the hospital beginning on the effective date of your coverage.

If you changed from another FEHB plan to us, your former plan will pay for the hospital stay until:

  • You are discharged, not merely moved to an alternative care center; 
  • The day your benefits from your former plan run out; or
  • The 92nd day after you become a member of this Plan, whichever happens first.
These provisions apply only to the benefits of the hospitalized person. If your plan terminates participation in the FEHB Program in whole or in part, or if OPM orders an enrollment change, this continuation of coverage provision does not apply. In such cases, the hospitalized family member’s benefits under the new plan begin on the effective date of enrollment.

You need prior Plan approval for certain services

Your primary care physician arranges most referrals to specialists and inpatient hospitalization and sends the referrals to the Plan for approval. The pre-service claim approval process applies to care shown under Other Services.

The pre-service claim approval process for services is detailed in this Section. A pre-service claim is any claim, in whole or in part, that requires approval from us in advance of obtaining medical care or services. In other words, a pre-service claim for benefits (1) requires pre certification or prior approval and (2) will result in a denial or reduction of benefits if you do not obtain precertification or prior approval. 

Inpatient hospital admission

Precertification is the process by which - prior to your inpatient hospital admission - we evaluate the medical necessity of your proposed stay and the number of days required to treat your condition.

Other services

Your primary care physician has authority to refer you for most services. For certain services, however, your physician or specialist must obtain prior approval from us. Before giving approval, we consider if the service is covered, medically necessary, and follows generally accepted medical practice. You must obtain prior authorization for:

  • Allergy testing and allergy serum
  • All diagnostic and surgical procedures performed in a surgical facility
  • Audiological exams
  • Bariatric surgery
  • Bone density studies
  • Certain drugs listed in our Prescription Drug Formulary (see Section 5(f))
  • Chemotherapy Agents
  • CT scans
  • Durable medical equipment
  • Genetic Testing
  • Growth Hormone Therapy (GHT)
  • Home Health services
  • Hospitalization
  • Infertility Services and Infertility Drugs
  • MRIs
  • Non-routine mammograms
  • Off-island services (except for preventive service) and consultations
  • Oncology consultations
  • Orthopedic, Prosthetic, and Implantable devices
  • Out-of-area hospitalization
  • Plastic/reconstructive consultation and procedures
  • Therapy treatment plans- occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech therapy
  • Podiatry consultations and procedures
  • Sleep studies
  • Specialty care procedures
  • Transplants
  • Ultrasounds, sonograms including echocardiogram
  • Other procedures including colonsocopy and endoscopy (except for preventive services)

Emergency services do not require pre certification. However, you or your family member must notify the Plan within 48 hours, or as soon as is reasonably possible, in order for the services to be covered.

For any out-of-service area primary and specialty care services rendered by in-network or out-of-network providers that was not prior authorized, you or your representative must contact us within two business days following the date of service or as soon as is reasonably possible. Failure to notify the Plan may result in denial of benefits.

The list of services requiring prior approval may change periodically. To ensure your treatment or procedure is covered, call us at 671-477-9808.

How to request precertification for an admission or get prior authorization for Other services

First, your physician, your hospital, or your representative, must call us at 671-477-9808 before admission or services requiring prior authorization are rendered.

Next, provide the following information:

  • enrollee's name and Plan identification number;
  • patient's name, birth date, identification number and phone number;
  • reason for hospitalization, proposed treatment, or surgery;
  • name and phone number of admitting physician;
  • name of hospital or facility; and
  • number of days requested for hospital stay

For any hospital admission outside of our service area and/or at non-participating providers, that was not prior authorized, you, your representative, the physician, or the hospital must contact us within two business days following the day of the admission or as soon as is reasonably possible, even if you have been discharged from the hospital. Failure to notify the Plan may result in a denial of benefits.

Non-urgent care claims

For non-urgent care claims, we will then tell the physician and/or hospital the number of approved inpatient days, or the care that we approve for other services that must have prior authorization. We will make our decision within 15 days of receipt of the pre-service claim. If matters beyond our control require an extension of time, we may take up to an additional 15 days for review and we will notify you of the need for an extension of time before the end of the original 15-day period. Our notice will include the circumstances underlying the request for the extension and the date when a decision is expected.

If we need an extension because we have not received necessary information from you, our notice will describe the specific information required and we will allow you up to 60 days from the receipt of the notice to provide the information.

Urgent care claims

If you have an urgent care claim (i.e. when waiting for the regular time limit for your medical care or treatment could seriously jeopardize your life, health, or ability to regain maximum function, or in the opinion of a physician with knowledge of your medical condition, would subject you to severe pain that cannot be adequately managed without this care or treatment), we will expedite our review and notify you of our decision within 72 hours. If you request that we review your claim as an urgent care claim, we will review the documentation you provide and decide whether or not it is and urgent care claims by applying the judgement of a prudent layperson that possesses an average knowledge of health and medicine.

If you fail to provide sufficient information, we will contact you within 24 hours after we receive the claim to let you know what information we need to complete our review of the claim. You will then have up to 48 hours to provide the required information. We will make our decision on the claim within 48 hours of (1) the time we received the additional information or (2) end of the time frame, whichever is earlier.

We may provide our decision orally within these time frames, but we will follow up with written or electronic notification within three days of oral notification.

You may request that your urgent care claim on appeal be reviewed simultaneously by us and OPM. Please let us know that you would like a simultaneous review of your urgent care claim by OPM either in writing at the time you appeal our initial decision, or by calling us at 671-477-9808. You may also call OPM's Health Insurance 3 at 202-606-0737 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Eastern Time to ask for the simultaneous review. We will cooperate with OPM so they can quickly review your claim on appeal. In addition, if you did not indicate that your claim was a claim for urgent care, call us at 671-477-9808. If it is determined that your claim is an urgent care claim, we will expedite our review (if we have not yet responded to your claim).

  • Concurrent care claims

A concurrent care claim involves care provided over a period of time or over a number of treatments. We will treat any reduction or termination of our pre-approved course of treatment before the end of the approved period of time or number of treatments as an appealable decision. This does not include reduction or termination due to benefit changes or if your enrollment ends. If we believe a reduction or termination is warranted, we will allow you sufficient time to appeal and obtain a decision from us before the reduction or termination takes effect.

If you request an extension of an ongoing course of treatment at least 24 hours prior to the expiration of the approved time period and this is also an urgent care claim, we will make a decision within 24 hours after we receive the claim.

The Federal Flexible Spending Account Program - FSAFEDS

  • Health Care FSA (HCFSA) - Reimburses you for eligible out-of-pocket health care expenses (such as copayments, deductibles, physician-prescribed over-the-counter drugs and medications, vision and dental expenses, and much more) for you and your tax dependents, including adult children (through the end of the calendar year in which they turn 26).
  • FSAFEDS offers paperless reimbursement for your HCFSA through a number of FEHB and FEDVIP plans. This means that when you or your provider fiLE claims with your FEHB or FEDVIP plan, FSAFEDS will automatically reimburse your eligible out-of-pocket expenses based on the claim information it receives from your plan.

Emergency inpatient admission

If you have an emergency admission due to a condition that you reasonably believe puts your life in danger or could cause serious damage to bodily function, you, your representative, the physician, or the hospital must contact us within two business days following the day of the emergency admission, even if you have been discharged from the hospital.

If your treatment needs to be extended

If you request an extension of an ongoing course of treatment at least 24 hours prior to the expiration of the approved time period and this is also an urgent care claim, we will make a decision within 24 hours after we receive the claim.

What happens when you do not follow the precertification rules when using non-network facilities

Failure to obtain prior approval may result in a denial of benefits if the services or devices do not meet Calvo's SelectCare payment determination criteria.

Circumstances beyond our control

Under certain circumstances such as natural disasters, we may have to delay your services or we may be unable to provide them. In that case, we will make all reasonable efforts to provide you with the necessary care.


If you disagree with our pre-service claim decision

If you have a pre-service claim and you do not agree with our decision regarding precertification of an inpatient admission or prior approval of other services, you may request a review in accord with the procedures detailed below.

If you have already received the service, supply, or treatment, then you have a post-service claim and must follow the entire disputed claims process detailed in Section 8.

Section 4. Your Costs for Covered Services

This is what you will pay out-of-pocket for covered care:



TermDefinition
Coinsurance

Coinsurance is the percentage of our allowance that you must pay for your care. 

Example: In our Plan, you pay 30% of eligible charges and any difference between eligible charges and billed charges for out-of-network services.

Copayments

A copayment is a fixed amount of money you pay to the provider, facility, pharmacy, etc., when you receive certain services.

Example: When you see your primary care physician, you pay a copayment of $15 per office visit, and when you go in the hospital, you pay $200 per admission.

Cost-sharing Cost-sharing is the general term used to refer to your out-of-pocket costs (e.g., deductible, coinsurance, and copayments) for the covered care you receive.

Deductible

A deductible is a fixed expense you must incur for certain covered services and supplies before we start paying benefits for them. Copayments do not count toward any deductible.

  • In-network - No deductible.
  • Out-of-network - The calendar year deductible is $500 per person under the High and Standard Option. Under a Self Only enrollment, the deductible is considered satisfied and benefits are payable for you when your covered expenses applied to the calendar year out-of-network deductible for your enrollment reach $500 under High and Standard Option. Under a Self Plus One enrollment, the deductible is considered satisfied and benefits are payable for you and one other eligible family member when the combined covered expenses applied to the calendar year out-of-network deductible for your enrollment reach $1,000 under High and Standard Option. Under a Self and Family enrollment, the deductible is considered satisfied and benefits are payable for you and one other eligible family member when the combined covered expenses applied to the calendar year out-of-network deductible for your enrollment reach $1,500 under High and Standard Option.

A Calvo's SelectCare deductible claim form should be filled out immediately and kept safe to ensure accurate and complete information on all doctors, lab or pharmacy visits. It is your responsibility to track and submit deductible expenses (e.g. encounter tickets, invoices, receipts) and the required documentation. All claims forms should be submitted to the Calvo's SelectCare Customer Service Department.

Eligible Charges

For most medical services, we calculate our payment and your copayment/coinsurance based on eligible charges. The eligible charge is the lower of either the provider's actual charge or the amount we established as the maximum allowable fee.

Non-plan providers are not under contract to limit their charges to our eligible charges. You are responsible for any charges in excess of eligible charges.

Your catastrophic protection out-of-pocket maximum

High Option: After your medical copayments and coinsurance for in-network covered services total $2,000 for self only or $2,000 per person for Self Plus One or $6,000 per Self and Family enrollment in any calendar year, you do not have to pay any more for in-network covered medical services. However, please note that the Plan does not have out-of-pocket maximums for any out-of-network services.

Standard Option: After your medical copayments and coinsurance for in-network covered services total $3,000 for self only or $3,000 per person for Self Plus One or $8,000 per Self and Family enrollment in any calendar year, you do not have to pay any more for in-network covered medical services. However, please note that the Plan does not have out-of-pocket maximums for any out-of-network services.

There is a separate out-of-pocket maximum for prescription drugs. After your prescription copayments and coinsurance at in-network pharmacies total $2,000 for Self only or $2,000 per person for Self Plus One or $4,000 per family enrollment in any calendar year, you do not have to pay any more for covered prescription drugs at in-network pharmacies.

Be sure to keep accurate records of your copayments/coinsurance. We will also keep records of your in-network coinsurance/copayments and track your in-network catastrophic protection maximums.

 

Carryover

If you changed to this Plan during open season from a plan with a catastrophic protection benefit and the effective date of the change was after January 1, any expenses that would have applied to that plan’s catastrophic protection benefit during the prior year will be covered by your prior plan if they are for care you received in January before your effective date of coverage in this Plan. If you have already met your prior plan’s catastrophic protection benefit level in full, it will continue to apply until the effective date of your coverage in this Plan. If you have not met this expense level in full, your prior plan will first apply your covered out-of-pocket expenses until the prior year’s catastrophic level is reached and then apply the catastrophic protection benefit to covered out-of-pocket expenses incurred from that point until the effective date of your coverage in this Plan. Your prior plan will pay these covered expenses according to this year’s benefits; benefit changes are effective January 1.

When Government Facilities Bill Us

Facilities of the Department Government Affairs, the Department of Defense and the Indian Health Services are entitled to seek reimbursement from for certain services and supplies they provide to you or a family member. They may not seek more than the governing laws allow. You may be responsible to pay for certain services and charges. Contact the government facility directly for more information.

What is a medical emergency?

An emergency medical condition is a medical condition so severe that a prudent layperson could reasonably expect that the lack of immediate medical attention would result in (a) placing the patient's health in serious jeopardy, (b) seriously impairing the patient's physical or mental functions, or (c) seriously impairing any of the patient's bodily organs or parts. Medical emergencies include heart attacks, cardiovascular accidents, loss of consciousness or respiration, convulsions, and such other acute conditions that we determine to be medical emergencies.




What to do in case of emergency: In a life or limb threatening emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest hospital emergency room or other facility for treatment. You do not need authorization from your primary care physician (PCP) before you go. A true emergency is covered no matter where you are.

Emergencies within our service area: If you receive emergency care within our service area that results in your hospitalization, you must contact the Calvo's SelectCare Customer Service Department at 671-477-9808 or by email at service@calvos.com within 48 hours unless it was not reasonably possible to do so.

When you are sick or injured, you may have an urgent care need. An urgent care need is one that requires prompt medical attention, but is not a medical emergency. When you need urgent care while you are in our service area, call your PCP. Your PCP can assess the situation and decide what type of care you need. Ask your PCP about after-hours and "on-call" procedures now, before you need these services. If you PCP's office is closed, you may access a clinic that provides urgent care services or an urgent care center.

Emergencies / Urgent Care outside our service area: If you receive emergency or urgent care outside our service area, you must contact the Calvo's SelectCare Customer Service department at 671-477-9808 or by email at service@calvos.com within 48 hours, unless it was not reasonably possible to do so, to let us know what has happened and where you went for care. Failure to notify the Plan may result in denial of benefits.

Section 5(f). Prescription Drug Benefits (

High and Standard Option

)

Important things you should keep in mind about these benefits:

  • We cover prescribed drugs and medications, as described in the chart beginning on the next page.
  • Please remember that all benefits are subject to the definitions, limitations and exclusions in this brochure and are payable only when we determine they are medically necessary.
  • Members must make sure their prescribers obtain prior approval / authorizations for certain prescription drugs and supplies before coverage applies. Prior approval/authorization must be renewed periodically.
  • Federal law prevents the pharmacy from accepting unused medications.
  • The Plan does not have a calendar year deductible for in-network covered services. However, for out-of-network covered services, the Plan does have a calendar year deductible of $500 per person ($1,000 per Self Plus One enrollment or $1,500 per Self and Family enrollment).
  • Be sure to read Section 4, Your costs for covered services, for valuable information about how cost sharing works. Also read Section 9 about coordinating benefits with other coverage, including with Medicare.



There are important features you should be aware of. These include:

  • Who can write your prescription. A licensed physician or dentist, and in states allowing it, licensed / certified providers with prescriptive authority prescribing within their scope of practice. Your provider must obtain prior approval for certain drugs (see Section 3 You need prior Plan approval for certain services)
  • Where you can obtain them.  You must fill the prescription at a plan pharmacy, or by mail for a maintenance medication.
  • We use a formulary. The Calvo's SelectCare Formulary is a list of prescription drugs that Plan physicians use as a guide when prescribing medications for patients. The list of name brand and generic drugs includes a preferred list of drugs that have been selected to meet patients' clinical and financial needs.The formulary plays an important role in providing safe, effective and affordable prescription drugs to Calvo's SelectCare members. It also allows us to work together with physicians and pharmacies to ensure that our members are getting the drug therapy they need. Certain drugs require prior authorization from the Plan. A Plan physician may initiate the prior authorization request simply by phoning, faxing, or emailing the request. Discuss your options with your physician when you need a new prescription.
  • These are the dispensing limitations. Prescription drugs will be dispensed for up to a 30-day supply or one commercially prepared unit per copayment (i.e. one inhaler, one vial of ophthalmic medication, one tube of ointment). For drugs that could be habit forming, the prescription unit is set at a smaller quantity for the protection and safety of our members.
  • A generic equivalent will be dispensed if it is available, unless your physician specifically requires a name brand. If you receive a name brand drug when a Federally-approved generic drug is available, and your physician has not specified Dispensed as Written for the name brand drug, you have to pay the non-formulary copayment.
  • Updating of prior authorizations may be required. Clinical edits (limitations) can be used for safety reasons, quantity limitations and benefit plan exclusions and may require prior authorization.
  • Prescription drugs can also be obtained through the mail order program for up to a 90-day supply of oral medication: six vials of insulin or three commercially prepared units (i.e. inhaler, vials of opthalmic medication, or topical ointments or creams). Call 1-800-881-1966 for mail order customer service. You pay one copayment for a 90-day supply of medication through mail order.
  • For prescription drugs purchased at overseas pharmacies, reimbursement is limited to a 30-day supply. Members are responsible for coinsurance. Drugs purchased overseas must be the equivalent to drugs that by Federal law of the United States require a prescription. To file a claim for covered drugs and supplies you purchase from pharmacies outside the United States, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, send a completed Calvo's Selectcare Deductible / Reimbursement Form, along with an original prescription, official itemized pharmacy receipts to: Calvo's SelectCare, P.O. Box FJ, Hagatna, Guam 96932 or submit to our office at 115 Chalan Santo Papa, Hagatna, Guam 96910. Reimbursement requests must be submitted within 90 days of the service.

Why use generic drugs? Generic drugs on the formulary are the therapeutically equivalent to the brand name drugs and are less expensive. You may reduce your out-of-pocket costs by choosing to use a generic drug.

When you do have to file a claim. Refer to Section 7 Filing a claim for covered services

    Section 6. General Exclusions – Services, Drugs and Supplies We Do Not Cover

    The exclusions in this section apply to all benefits. Although we may list a specific service as a benefit, we will not cover it unless your Plan doctor determines it is medically necessary to prevent, diagnose, or treat your illness, disease, injury, or condition.

    We do not cover the following:

    • Care by non-Plan providers except for authorized referrals or emergencies (see Emergencyservices/accidents);
    • Services, drugs, or supplies you receive while you are not enrolled in this Plan;
    • Services, drugs, or supplies not medically necessary;
    • Services, drugs, or supplies not required according to accepted standards of medical, dental, or psychiatric practice;
    • Experimental or investigational procedures, treatments, drugs or devices;
    • Services, drugs, or supplies related to abortions, except when the life of the mother would be endangered if the fetus were carried to term, or when the pregnancy is the result of an act of rape or incest;
    • Services, drugs, or supplies you receive from a provider or facility barred from the FEHB Program; or
    • Services, drugs, or supplies you receive without charge while in active military service;
    • Services or supplies furnished by yourself, immediate relatives or household members, such as spouse, parents, children, brothers or sisters by blood, marriage or adoption.
    • Services or supplies we are prohibited from covering under the Federal Law.



    Section 7. Filing a Claim for Covered Services

    This Section primarily deals with post-service claims (claims for services, drugs, or supplies you have already received). See Section 3 for information on pre-service claims procedures (services, drugs or supplies requiring prior Plan approval), including urgent care claims procedures. When you see Plan physicians, receive services at Plan hospitals and facilities, or obtain your prescription drugs at Plan pharmacies, you will not have to file claims. Just present your identification card and pay your copayment, coinsurance, or deductible.

    You will only need to file a claim when you receive services from non-plan providers. Sometimes these providers bill us directly. Check with the provider. If you need to file the claim, here is the process:




    TermDefinition

    Send us all of the documents for your claim as soon as possible. You must submit the claim and all required information (translated in English when originals are in another language) by December 31 of the year after the year you received the service, unless timely filing was prevented by administrative operations of Government or legal incapacity, provided the claim was submitted as soon as reasonably possible.

    When we need more information Please reply promptly when we ask for additional information. We may delay processing or deny benefits for your claim if you do not respond.

    Post-service claims procedures

    We will notify you of our decision within 30 days after we receive your post-service claim. If matters beyond our control require an extension of time, we may take up to an additional 15 days for review and we will notify you before the expiration of the original 30-day period. Our notice will include the circumstances underlying the request for the extension and the date when a decision is expected.

    If we need an extension because we have not received necessary information from you, our notice will describe the specific information required and we will allow you up to 60 days from the receipt of the notice to provide the information.

    If you do not agree with our initial decision, you may ask us to review it by following the disputed claims process detailed in Section 8 of this brochure.

    Authorized Representative

    You may designate an authorized representative to act on your behalf for filing a claim or to appeal claims decisions to us. For urgent care claims, we will permit a health care professional with knowledge of your medical condition to act as your authorized representative without your express consent. For the purposes of this section, we are also referring to your authorized representative when we refer to you.


    Notice Requirements

    If you live in a county where at least 10 percent of the population is literate only in a non-English language (as determined by the Secretary of Health and Human Services), we will provide language assistance in that non-English language. You can request a copy of your Explanation of Benefits (EOB) statement, related correspondence, oral language services (such as telephone customer assistance), and help with filing claims and appeals (including external reviews) in the applicable non-English language. The English versions of your EOBs and related correspondence will include information in the non-English language about how to access language services in that non-English language.

    Any notice of an adverse benefit determination or correspondence from us confirming an adverse benefit determination will include information sufficient to identify the claim involved (including the date of service, the health care provider, and the claim amount, if applicable), and a statement describing the availability, upon request, of the diagnosis and procedure codes.




    Section 8. The Disputed Claims Process

    You may appeal directly to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) if we do not follow required claims processes. For more information about situation in which you are entitled to immediately appeal to OPM, including additional requirements not listed in Sections 3, 7, and 8 of this brochure, please call your plan's customer service representative at the phone number found on your enrollment card, plan brochure, or plan website.

    Please follow this Federal Employees Health Benefits Program disputed claims process if you disagree with our decision on your post-service claim (a claim where services, drugs or supplies have already been provided). In Section 3 If you disagree with our pre-service claim decision, we describe the process you need to follow if you have a claim for services, referrals, drugs or supplies that must have prior Plan approval, such as inpatient hospital admissions.

    To help you prepare your appeal, you may arrange with us to review and copy, free of charge, all relevant materials and Plan documents under our control relating to your claim, including those that involve any expert review(s) of your claim. To make your request, please contact our Customer Service Department by writing us at Calvo's SelectCare Customer Service, P.O. Box FJ, Hagatna, Guam 96932 or calling our Customer Service Department at 671-477-9808.

    Our reconsideration will take into account all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by you relating to the claim, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination.

    When our initial decision is based (in whole or in part) on a medical judgement (i.e., medical necessity, experimental/investigational), we will consult with a health care professional who has appropriate training and experience in the field of medicine involved in the medical judgement and who was not involved in making the initial decision.

    Our reconsideration will not take into account the initial decision. The review will not be conducted by the same person, or his/her subordinate, who made the initial decision.

    We will not make our decisions regarding hiring, compensation, termination, promotion, or other similar matters with respect to any individual (such as a claims adjudicator or medical expert) based upon the likelihood that the individual will support the denial of benefits.




    StepDescription
    1

    Ask us in writing to reconsider our initial decision. You must:

    a) Write to us within 6 months from the date of our decision; and

    b) Send your request to us at Calvo's SelectCare Customer Service Department, P.O. Box FJ, Hagatna, Guam 96932; and

    c) Include a statement about why you believe our initial decision was wrong, based on specific benefit provisions in this brochure; and

    We will provide you, free of charge and in a timely manner with any new or additional evidence considered, relied upon, or generated by us or at our direction in connection with your claim and any new rationale for our claim decision. We will provide you with this information sufficiently in advance of the date that we are required to provide you with our reconsideration decision to allow you a reasonable opportunity to respond to us before that date. However, our failure to provide you with new evidence or rationale in sufficient time to allow you to timely respond shall not invalidate our decision on reconsideration. You may respond to that new evidence or rationale at the OPM review stage described in step 4.

    2

    In the case of a post-service claim, we have 30 days from the date we receive your request to:

    a) Pay the claim; or

    b) Write to you and maintain our denial; or

    c) Ask you or your provider for more information.

    You or your provider must send the information so that we receive it within 60 days of our request. We will then decide within 30 more days.

    If we do not receive the information within 60 days we will decide within 30 days of the date the information was due. We will base our decision on the information we already have. We will write to you with our decision.

     

    3

    If you do not agree with our decision, you may ask OPM to review it.

    You must write to OPM within:

    • 90 days after the date of our letter upholding our initial decision; or
    • 120 days after your first wrote to us--if we did not answer that request in some way within 30 days; or
    • 120 days after we asked for additional information.

    Write to OPM at: United States Office of Personnel Management, Healthcare and Insurance, Federal Employee Insurance Operations, Health Insurance 3, 1900 E Street, NW, Washington DC 20415-3630.

    Send OPM the following information:

    • A statement about why you believe our decision was wrong, based on specific benefit provisions in this brochure;
    • Copies of documents that support your claim, such as physicians' letters, operative reports, bills, medical records, and explanation of benefits (EOB) forms:
    • Copies of all letters you sent to us about the claim; and
    • Your daytime phone number and the best time to call
    • Your email address, if you would like to receive OPM's decision via email. Please note that by providing your email address, you may receive OPM's decision more quickly.

    Note: If you want OPM to review more than one claim, you must clearly identify which documents apply to which claim.

    Note: You are the only person who has a right fo file a disputed claim with OPM. Parties acting as you representative, such as medical providers, must include a copy of your specific written consent with the review request. However, for urgent care claims, a health care professional with knowledge of your medical condition may act as your authorized representative without yrou express consent.

    Note: The above deadlines may be extended if you show that you were unable to meet the deadline because of reasons beyond your control.

    4

    OPM will review your disputed claim request and will use the information it collects from you and us to decide whether our decision is correct. OPM will send you a final decision within 60 days. There are no other administrative appeals.

    If you do not agree with OPM's decision, your only recourse is to file a lawsuit. If you decide to sue, you must file the suit against OPM in Federal court by December 31 of the third year after the year in which  you received the disputed services, drugs, or supplies or from the year in which you were denied precertification or prior approval. This is the only deadline that may not be extended.

    OPM may disclose the information it collects during the review process to support their disputed claim decision. This information will become part of the court record.

    You may not file a lawsuit until you have completed the disputed claims process. Further, Federal law governs your lawsuit, benefits, and payment of benefits. The Federal court will base its review on the record that was before OPM when OPM decided to uphold or overturn our decision. You may recover only the amount of benefits in dispute.




    Note: If you have a serious or life threatening condition (one that may cause permanent loss of bodily functions or death if not treated as soon as possible), and you did not indicate that your claim was a claim for urgent care, then call us at 671-477-9808. We will expedite our review (if we have not yet responded to your claim); or we will inform OPM so they can quickly review your claim on appeal. You may call OPM's Health Insurance 3 at 202-606-0737 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Eastern Time.

    Please remember that we do not make decisions about plan eligibility issues. For example, we do not determine whether you or a dependent is covered under this plan. You must raise eligibiity issues with your Agency personnel/payroll office if you are an employee, your retirement system if you are an annuitant or the Office of Worker's Compensation programs if you are receiving Worker's Compensation benefits.




    Section 9. Coordinating Benefits with Medicare and Other Coverage

    TermDefinition

    When you have other health coverage

    You must tell us if you or a covered family member have coverage under any other health plan or have automobile insurance that pays health care expenses without regard to fault. This is called “double coverage.”

    When you have double coverage, one plan normally pays its benefits in full as the primary payer and the other plan pays a reduced benefit as the secondary payer. We, like other insurers, determine which coverage is primary according to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ guidelines. For more information on NAIC rules regarding the coordinating of benefits, visit our website at www.calvos.net.

    When we are the primary payer, we will pay the benefits described in this brochure.

    When we are the secondary payer, we will determine our allowance. After the primary plan pays, we will pay what is left of our allowance, up to our regular benefit. We will not pay more than our allowance.

    TRICARE and CHAMPVA

    TRICARE is the health care program for eligible dependents of military persons, and retirees of the military. TRICARE includes the CHAMPUS program. CHAMPVA provides health coverage to disabled Veterans and their eligible dependents. If TRICARE or CHAMPVA and this Plan cover you, we pay first. See your TRICARE or CHAMPVA Health Benefits Advisor if you have questions about these programs.

    Suspended FEHB coverage to enroll in TRICARE or CHAMPVA: If you are an annuitant or former spouse, you can suspend your FEHB coverage to enroll in one of these programs, eliminating your FEHB premium. (OPM does not contribute to any applicable plan premiums). For information on suspending your FEHB Program, generally you may do so only at the next Open Season unless you involuntarily lose coverage under TRICARE or CHAMPVA.

    Worker's Compensation

    We do not cover services that:

    • You (or a covered family member) need because of a workplace-related illness or injury that the Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP) or a similar Federal or State agency determines they must provide; or
    • OWCP or a similar agency pays for through a third-party injury settlement or other similar proceeding that is based on a claim you filed under OWCP or similar laws.

    Once OWCP or similar agency pays its maximum benefits for your treatment, we will cover your care.

    Medicaid

    When you have this Plan and Medicaid, we pay first.

    Suspended FEHB coverage to enroll in Medicaid or a similar state-sponsored program of medical assistance: If you are an annuitant or former spouse, you can suspend your FEHB coverage to enroll in one of these state programs, eliminating your FEHB premium. For information on suspending your FEHB enrollment, contact your retirement office. If you later want to re-enroll in the FEHB Program, generally you may do so only at the next Open Season unless you involuntarily lose coverage under the state program.

    When other Government agencies are responsible for your care

    We do not cover services and supplies when a local, state, or federal government agency directly or indirectly pays for them.

    When others are responsible for injuries

    Our right to pursue and receive subrogation and reimbursement recoveries is a condition of, and a limitation on, the nature of benefit payments and on the provision of benefits under our coverage.

    If you have received benefits or benefit payments as a result of an injury or illness and you or your representatives, heirs, administrators, successors, or assignees receive payment from any party that may be liable, a third party's insurance policies, your own insurance policies, or a workers' compensation program or policy, you must reimburse us out of that payment. Our right of reimbursement extends to any payment received by settlement, judgement, or otherwise.

    We are entitled to reimbursement to the extent of the benefits we have paid or provided in connections with your injury or illness. However, we will cover the cost of treatment that exceeds the amount of the payment you received.

    Reimbursement to us out of the payment shall take first priority (before any of the rights of any other parties are honored) and is not impacted by how the judgement, settlement, or other recovery is characterized, designated, or apportioned. Our right of reimbursement is not subject to reduction based on attorney fees or costs under the "common fund" doctrine and is fully enforceable regardless of whether you are "made whole" or fully compensated for the full amount of damages claimed.

    We may, at our option, choose to exercise our right of subrogation and pursue a recovery from any liable party as successor to your rights.

    If you do pursue a claim or case related to your injury or illness, you must promptly notify us and cooperate with our reimbursement or subrogation efforts.

     

    When you have Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Plan (FEDVIP) coverageSome FEHB plans already cover some dental and vision services. When you are covered by more than one vision/dental plan, coverage provided under your FEHB plan remains as your primary coverage. FEDVIP coverage pays secondary to that coverage. When you enroll in a dental and/or vision plan on BENEFEDS.com or by phone at 877-888-3337, (TTY 877-889-5680), you will be asked to provide information on your FEHB plan so that your plans can coordinate benefits. Providing your FEHB information may reduce your out-of-pocket cost.
    Clinical Trials

    An approved clinical trial includes a phase I, phase II, phase III, or phase IV clinical trial that is conducted in relation to the prevention, detection, or treatment of cancer or other life-threatening disease or condition and is either Federally funded; conducted under an investigational new drug application reviewed by the Food and Drug Administration; or is a drug trial that is exempt from the requirement of an investigational new drug application.

    If you are a participant in a clinical trial, this health plan will provide related care as follows, if it is not provided by the clinical trial:

    • Routine care costs - costs for routine services such as doctor visits, lab tests, x-rays and scans, and hospitalizations related to treating the patient's condition, whether the patient is in a clinical trial or is receiving standard therapy.
    • Extra care costs - costs related to taking part in a clinical trial such as additional tests that a patient may need as part of the trial, but not as part of the patient's routine care.
    • Research costs - costs related to conducting the clinical trial such as research physician and nurse time, analysis of results, and clinical tests performed only for research purposes. These costs are generally covered by the clinical trials. This plan does not cover these costs.

    When you have Medicare

    For more detailed information on "What is Medicare?" and "Should I Enroll in Medicare?" please contact Medicare at 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227) or at www.medicare.gov.

    • The Original Medicare Plan (Part A or Part B)

    The Original Medicare Plan (Original Medicare) is available everywhere in the United States. It is the way everyone used to get Medicare benefits and is the way most people get their Medicare Part A and Part B benefits now. You may go to any doctor, specialist, or hospital that accepts Medicare. The Original Medicare Plan pays its share and you pay your share.

    When you are enrolled in Original Medicare along with this Plan, you still need to follow the rules in this brochure for us to cover your care.

    Claims process when you have the Original Medicare Plan – You will probably not need to file a claim form when you have both our Plan and the Original Medicare Plan.

    When we are the primary payer, we process the claim first.

    When Original Medicare is the primary payer, Medicare processes your claim first. In most cases, your claim will be coordinated automatically and we will then provide secondary benefits for covered charges. You will not need to do anything. To find out if you need to do something to file your claim, call us at 671-477-9808 or see our Web site at www.calvos.net.

    We waive some costs if the Original Medicare Plan is your primary payor - We will waive some out-of-pocket costs as follows:

    • Medical services and supplies provided by physicians and other health care professionals
    • Outpatient surgery

    Please review the following table. It illustrates your cost share if you are enrolled in Medicare Part B. If you purchase Medicare Part B, your provider is in our network and participates in Medicare, then we waive some costs because Medicare will be the primary payor. Members must use providers who accept Medicare's assignment.

    You can find more information about how our plan coordinates benefits with Medicare at www.calvos.net.

    Tell us about your Medicare coverageYou must tell us if you or a covered family member has Medicare coverage and let us obtain information about services denied or paid under Medicare if we ask. You must also tell us about other coverage you or your covered family members may have as this coverage may affect the primary / secondary status of this plan and Medicare.
    • Medicare Advantage (Part C)

    If you are eligible for Medicare, you may choose to enroll in and get your Medicare benefits from a Medicare Advantage plan. These are private health care choices (like HMOs and regional PPOs) in some areas of the country. To learn more about Medicare Advantage plans, contact Medicare at 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227) or at www.medicare.gov.

    If you enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan, the following options are available to you:

    This Plan and another plan’s Medicare Advantage plan: You may enroll in another plan’s Medicare Advantage plan and also remain enrolled in our FEHB plan. We will still provide benefits when your Medicare Advantage plan is primary, even out of the Medicare Advantage plan’s network and/or service area (if you use our Plan providers). However, we will not waive any of our copayments, coinsurance, or deductibles. If you enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan, tell us. We will need to know whether you are in the Original Medicare Plan or in a Medicare Advantage plan so we can correctly coordinate benefits with Medicare.

    Suspended FEHB coverage to enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan: If you are an annuitant or former spouse, you can suspend your FEHB coverage to enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan, eliminating your FEHB premium. (OPM does not contribute to your Medicare Advantage plan premium.) For information on suspending your FEHB enrollment, contact your retirement office. If you later want to re-enroll in the FEHB Program, generally you may do so only at the next Open Season unless you involuntarily lose coverage or move out of the Medicare Advantage plan’s service area.
    • Medicare prescription drug coverage (Part D)
    When we are the primary payer, we process the claim first. If you enroll in Medicare Part D and we are the secondary payer, we will review claims for your prescription drug costs that are not covered by Medicare Part D and consider them for payment under the FEHB plan.

    Medical necessity refers to medical services or hospital services which are determined by us to be:

    • Rendered for the treatment or diagnosis of an injury or illness; and
    • Appropriate for the symptom, consistent with diagnosis, and otherwise in accordance with sufficient scientific evidence and professionally recognized standards; and
    • Not furnished primarily for the convenience of the member, the attending physician, or other provider of service; and 
    • Furnished in the most economically efficient manner which may be provided safely and effectively to the member.

    Plan allowance

    Plan allowance is the amount we use to determine our payment and your coinsurance for covered services. Plans determine their allowances in different ways. We determine our allowance as follows:

    The payment we would make if the healthcare services had been obtained within our Service Area and/or by an In-Network provider, or a special negotiated payment or Medicare rates

    Post-service claims

    Any claims that are not pre-service claims. In other words, post-service claims are those claims where treatment has been performed and the claims have been sent to us in order to apply for benefits.


    Pre-service claims

    Those claims (1) that require precertification, prior approval, or a referral and (2) where failure to obtain precertification, prior approval, or a referral results in a reduction of benefits.

    Reimbursement

     A carrier's pursuit of a recovery if a covered individual has suffered an illness or injury and has received, in connection with that illness or injury, a payment from any party that may be liable, any applicable insurance policy, or a workers' compensation program or insurance policy, and the terms of the carrier's health benefits plan require the covered individual, as a result of such payment, to reimburse the carrier out of the payment to the extent of the benefits initially paid or provided. The right of reimbursement is cumulative with and not exclusive of the right of subrogation.

    Subrogation

    A carrier's pursuit of a recovery from any party that may be liable, any applicable insurance policy, or a workers' compensation program or insurance policy, as successor to the rights of a covered individual who suffered an illness or injury and has obtained benefits from that carrier's health benefits plan.

    Urgent care claims

    A claim for medical care or treatment is an urgent  care claim if waiting for the regular time limit for non-urgent care claims could have one of the following impacts:

    • Waiting could seriously jeopardize your life or health;
    • Waiting could seriously jeopardize your ability to regain maximum function; or
    • In the opinion of a physician with knowledge of your medical condition, waiting would subject you to severe pain that cannot be adequately without the care or treatment that is the subject of the claim.

    Urgent care claim usually involve Pre-service claims and not Post-service claims. We will determine whether or not a claim is an urgent care claim by applying the judgement of a prudent layperson who possesses an average knowledge of health and medicine.

    If you believe your claim qualifies as an urgent care claim, please contact our Customer Service Department by telephone at 671-477-9808 or by mail at P.O. Box FJ, Hagatna, Guam 96932. You may also prove that your claim is an urgent care claim by providing evidence that a physician with knowledge of your medical condition has determined that your claim involves urgent care.
