3M Medical Plan Options

(2)

What’s neW for 2013

More plans. More choices.

3M Advantage Plans. This year, 3M active employees have two high-deductible health plan options that have very affordable premiums and are paired with a Health Savings Account (HSA). The two plans will be the Prime Advantage plan (formerly the 3M Consumer-Directed Plan) and the Choice Advantage plan, which is new for 2013. To help you understand how the 3M Advantage Plans work, 3M and Blue Cross have created a new online resource with videos, plan comparisons and graphical explanations. To learn more about the 3M Advantage Plans, visit bluecrossmn.com/3M and see “Advantage Plans site.”

• Two levels of coverage for HSA plans. In 2013, members who choose one of the HSA medical plans will receive a higher level of benefits when seeing a BlueCard PPO in-network provider. To pay the least out of pocket for medical care, check a provider’s network status to ensure they are in the BlueCard PPO network.

• New HSA account administrator. For 2013, PayFlex will be the new administrator for the Health Savings Account (HSA). To learn more, go to 3M.healthhub.com or call a customer service representative at

(866) 363-5391 (toll free). Representatives are available from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. CT. Monday - Friday. New ID cards. All 3M members will receive a new member ID card prior to January 1. Please destroy your old ID cards and present the new ID card when receiving care. You are also able to access your ID card online when you sign in at bluecrossmn.com/3M. You have the ability to print, e-mail or fax your member ID card. One network for all 3M plans. All of 3M’s medical plans now use the BlueCard PPO network in 2013, providing access to a comprehensive network of doctors and hospitals in the U.S. and worldwide.

HOW YOUR PLAN WORKS

You can go to any doctor, specialist or hospital that is in your network for care — without a referral. That’s because these plans are ―open-access‖ BlueCard® PPO

plans. Open access means you can see any provider you choose. Coverage levels vary depending on the provider’s BlueCard PPO network status and the type of service received.

Each plan pays the highest level of benefits when you see a provider within the BlueCard PPO network.

BlueCard PPO providers agree to accept the plan’s payment in full — called the ―allowed amount‖ (after coinsurance and charges not covered). Your share is any coinsurance or deductible.

By seeing a BlueCard PPO provider, you’ll receive the highest level of benefits and pay the least amount. When you see a health care provider that does not participate in the BlueCard PPO network, you’ll pay more of the cost of your care. When you see a BlueCard PPO provider for eligible preventive care services, the plan pays 100 percent of the allowed amount. BlueCard PPO providers also file claims for you.

No referrals

You don’t need a referral to see a specialist. As long as the health care provider is part of your network, you’ll get all the advantages of in-network benefits.

How we work

with your doctor

We work with your doctor to make sure you get the care that’s best for you. It’s our job to see that the services you receive are effective, appropriate and efficient. Here are examples:

• Review services to make sure you’re getting the right level of care

• Authorize selected services

• Plan and coordinate care for special medical needs through our Dedicated Nurses, and much more.

PREVENTIVE CARE

Get healthy, stay healthy.

M and Blue Cross are committed to your good health for the long term. Numerous tests and procedures are recommended preventive care and may be covered by your health plan.

site.‖ Choose the ―Health Plan‖ section and you’ll find detailed preventive care information. Remember, you are covered at 100 percent for eligible preventive care when you use a Blue Card PPO provider .

Be sure to compare the exams and screenings your doctor recommends with what your plan covers under your preventive care benefits. Refer to your Summary Plan Description or call customer service for more information.

HOW YOUR CLAIMS ARE PAID

By seeing a BlueCard PPO in-network provider, you’ll receive the highest level of benefits and pay the least amount. When you see a health care provider that does not participate in the BlueCard PPO network, you’ll pay more of the cost of your care and you may have to file

your own claims. Also, when you see a BlueCard PPO in-network provider for eligible preventive care services, the plan pays 100 percent of the allowed amount. BlueCard PPO in-network providers also will file claims for you.

Your visit.

Depending on your provider, you may be required to pay some share of your estimated annual deductible and/or coinsurance at the time of service or any copay, if applicable.

Your in-network provider submits your claim to Blue Cross.

Blue Cross processes your claim, generally within two weeks of

receiving all the necessary paperwork from your provider.

You receive an EOB.

If you have any cost share on the claim, you will receive an Explanation of Health Care Benefits (EOB) in the mail. It’s not a bill — it’s a record of what you’ll pay when your provider sends you an invoice, assuming you haven’t already paid this amount. If you have paid any amount in excess of what is noted on the EOB, contact your provider to discuss further. Note: Each covered family member can see their own EOBs on their home page after they register and sign in at bluecrossmn.com/3M.

You can view your own EOBs and those for covered dependents who are 12 and under.

Provider’s bills typically arrive within two weeks after you receive

your EOB.

Compare your EOB to your provider’s bill.

Make sure the amount on the bill matches what is listed on your EOB. If not, contact your provider to discuss further.
