Other Details

 The deductible is the amount of money that you must pay prior to receiving benefits or coverage under this insurance. After you pay your deductible, the rest of your medical care is covered for the remainder of that term unless your plan includes a copayment or coinsurance. Please reference your brochure for details

Copay, which is a flat fee you pay anytime you are provided certain types of health care services. $50 copay for Urgent Care visits.

Coinsurance is the percentage of your medical costs that you must pay after reaching your deductible. When you incur health care costs from a medical provider/procedure, you must pay out of pocket until you spend a certain amount, known as your deductible. Once you’ve paid your deductible, your insurance company starts splitting the cost of future care, based on a set percentage of the costs. The percentage that you pay is your coinsurance (10%). IMG will pay 90% of your coinsurance and you will pay 10%. 

Coinsurance is different from a copay, which is a flat fee you pay anytime you get certain types of health care services.

As an example, let’s say you go to the hospital and get a bill of $4,000 to have a minor surgery. You’ll need to pay your $350.00 per injury/per illness deductible, then, the 10% co insurance for that surgery.

The balance after the deductible is $3,650.00. You will need to pay 10% of that before the insurance company pays. 10% of that is $365.00 that you will owe to the provider.

You are covered for COVID-19 (COVID-19), the same as any other illness; as long as it is not a pre-existing condition. In other words, it wasn’t contracted before your coverage start date and does not fall within any other exclusion or limitations of the insurance policy. You will want to make sure you seek immediate care, if you exhibit any of the COVID symptoms. If you are not experiencing symptoms and are having a preventative COVID test, your test will not be covered by your insurance. When you visit the COVID test center, you should mention that you are experiencing symptoms for the test to be covered by insurance. 

If you have any questions or need additional information about your coverage or account, please contact Customer Care at insurance@imglobal.com or +1.800.628.4664.
