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.
The annual copayment maximum is a fixed limit or cap to your total out-of-pocket expenses for most covered services in a calendar year or plan year.
A benefit maximum is a limit on a covered service or supply. A service or supply may be limited by dollar amount, duration, or number of visits.
Depending on your medical plan, you can receive services such as emergency and urgent care, or see a physician for a covered benefit while traveling on the Mainland.
