SCHEDULE OF COVERAGE AND BENEFITS
With Mercy Health Plans’ PPO, You can choose to receive either Network Benefits or Non-Network Benefits. To obtain Network Benefits You must see a Network Physician or other Network Provider. You must show Your identification card (ID card) every time You request health care services from a Network Provider. If You do not show Your ID card, Network Providers have no way of knowing that You are enrolled under a Mercy Health Plans’ PPO Policy. As a result, they may bill You for the entire cost of the services You receive. Please refer to Your Policy for a detailed
explanation of covered and non-covered services, as well as Prior Authorization requirements. Just because a Physician or other Health Care Professional has performed, prescribed or recommended a service does not mean it is Medically Necessary or that it is covered under this Schedule of Coverage and Benefits. All capitalized terms shall have the meaning assigned to them in Your Policy.

HSA/HDHP Amendment Eligible Subscribers and Dependents who qualify for a Health Savings Account (HSA) will have High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) Benefits as outlined in this Schedule of Coverage and Benefits, and the HSA Amendment.
You may use Your HSA account to pay for non-qualified medical expenses, although withdrawals for such expenses are subject to federal, state, and local taxes, as applicable, and in most cases, a penalty tax. Any unused balance in your account at Year-end is carried forward to the next Calendar Year. You are required both to determine whether withdrawals are used for qualified medical purposes and to report on Your annual tax return the amount withdrawn that is used for qualified medical expenses. Neither Mercy Health Plans nor its HSA banking partner will monitor this. Be sure to keep records (for example, receipts) so that You can prove to the IRS that the withdrawals are for qualified medical expenses that were not otherwise reimbursed. For examples of qualified medical expenses, see Your HSA Amendment.
