UK-EPO Summary of Health Plan Benefits
The UK-EPO Option is very similar to an HMO in the way
benefits are applied. If you choose the UK-EPO, you must receive
treatment from an in-network provider. Only emergency services,
or urgent services received while out of the service area, are covered
when provided by out-of-network providers or facilities. When you
use in-network providers, you will have a $25 copayment for
primary care visits and a $40 copayment for specialist visits.
UK-EPO Factors to Consider:
- Large provider network, including UK HealthCare facilities (such as Chandler Hospital, Good Samaritan Hospital, Kentucky Clinics), UK HealthCare physicians and the Humana and ChoiceCare networks.
- No referrals required for specialty care services.
- No coverage for out-of-network services, unless it is a life- or limb-threatening emergency.
- No deductibles to meet.
Prior authorization is required for the following services: inpatient hospital services; inpatient mental health, alcohol and/or chemical dependency services; outpatient mental health, alcohol and/or chemical dependency services; and skilled nursing facility services. Failure to obtain prior authorization will result in a 50% benefit penalty.
