HMSA members, except those covered by The HMSA Children's Plan, have benefits for medical services outside the U.S. through the BlueCard Worldwide network.
To save money and support green practices, HMSA doesn't mail paper copies of the Report to Member to PPO and HMO members for medical and vision claims. Learn how to get them.
Learn why you're charged more when you see a nonparticipating provider instead of a participating one.
Learn where to send your claims for medical services and supplies.
Your dental claims information is accessible online through My Account on hmsa.com.
Don't worry if you see a name you don't recognize on your report to member. The provider may have asked for laboratory, diagnostic, anesthesia, or other service with no direct contact with you.
If your precertification request is denied and you disagree with HMSA's decision, you or your provider may submit an appeal.
The eligible charge is the lower of the participating provider's actual charge or HMSA's maximum allowable fee.
The Report to Member is an explanation of benefits. It is not a bill for services or supplies.
The annual deductible is a fixed dollar amount you pay for covered services each calendar year or plan year before HMSA will pay for certain services.
