PRE-CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
Pre-certification review is designed to ensure that all the services you receive are medically necessary, appropriate, and cost-effective. Generally, when you receive In-Network PPO care, or when your PCP provides or coordinates your care, your doctor/PCP or the hospital will handle any pre-certification for you. However, if you receive Out-of-Network or Self-Referred care—or you are out of your plan’s service area—YOU may be required to call 1.800.275.2583 for pre-certification. For the Personal Choice HDHP and Personal Choice PPO plans, this is true even if you use a provider or facility that participates in the BlueCard PPO program.
If you do not get pre-certification when required, benefits may be reduced or not paid at all. The pre-certification requirements for each option vary. See the Plan Summary charts available on the Benefits Gateway (www.archphila.org/hrbenefits) and read the carrier booklet for your option for details. Contact Member Services at the number shown on your ID card if you have questions.
URGENT OR EMERGENCY CARE
When you have a life-threatening medical situation, seek treatment at the nearest emergency room. For other issues that require attention, such as strains or sprains, fevers, earaches, and sore throats, consider calling your doctor or using the Telemedicine service described below. Or, go to the nearest In-Network urgent care center.
