Coverage when it counts

We’ll also monitor the impact to our network doctors, hospitals and other health care providers. Here are more ways we’re here to help.
Flexible, convenient coverage
Flexible, convenient coverage
Convenience matters, especially now. We'll help make it easier to care for your health during this disaster.
When you can’t get care in network
If you have a health emergency, you can visit any doctor or hospital — even if they’re not in your plan’s network — and we’ll pay the claim as if you received care in network. There’s no need to call us.
If you have a non-emergency health care need, but the disaster has impacted your ability to get in-network care, call us and we will help you find a provider.
More time to manage benefits needs
You have more time to get pre-approvals or referrals if you need it, without penalties. Just call us to let us know. You also have more time to submit claims or file appeals.
Help paying your insurance premium
If you’re facing financial difficulties due to the disaster and receive a bill from us for your monthly insurance premium, payment options are available. Call us to talk over your options.
Helping you get your medicine and medical equipment
Helping you get your medicine and medical equipment
Your medicine — and the medical equipment and health items you rely on — matter to your health. This guidance can help you get the items you need.
Prescription assistance
You can refill your prescriptions early and get a 30-day supply of medicine — including those that may have been lost, damaged or destroyed during the disaster. If necessary, you can also get your medicine at an out-of-network pharmacy.
Use our mail-order pharmacy? We can send your prescription wherever you need it. Just call us if your address has changed so your medicine gets to the right place.
