  How to use your ConnectiCare HMO Open Access High-Deductible Health Plan

  1. First, choose a primary care physician (PCP). Simply browse our Provider Directory. Can’t find your copy? Stop by our Web site at www.connecticare.com or call ConnectiCare Member Services. Remember, your enrollment form needs to include your doctor’s name and ID number.
     
     Who qualifies as a PCP? General practitioners as well as doctors in family practice, pediatrics or internal medicine are all considered PCPs. Since we consider obstetrician/gynecologists as specialists, female members cannot select an ob/gyn as their PCP.
     
     
  2. Don’t leave home without your ConnectiCare ID card. It should be kept in your wallet. Show it whenever you visit a provider and whenever you fill a prescription. It’s also an important indicator of your plan’s information.
  3. As a member of our HMO Open Access Plan, no referral is necessary for any service you are seeking so long as you select a provider in our network. Participating providers are listed in our Provider Directory.
  4. Our network includes providers that provide professional help for mental health and alcohol or drug problems. If you’d like assistance finding a participating provider for mental health, alcohol or drug problems, call 1-888-946-4658. Our Behavioral Health Program staff will be happy to help you.
  5. Always use our participating providers, including hospitals, unless you have an Emergency or need Urgent Care, or your situation is one of the other limited circumstances described in your Membership Agreement. Since physician participation changes from time to time, be sure to visit our Web site at www.connecticare.com or call Member Services to confirm that your provider is still a participating provider.
  6. Certain services, procedures and drugs need our approval or “pre-authorization” before you go ahead with them. We list them in the ConnectiCare Guidebook and in your Membership Agreement, but be aware that they’re subject to change. For the most up-to-date list, call Member Services.
  7. For quick facts, take out your Benefit Summary. While it isn’t the last word on your plan (see your Membership Agreement for that), it’s a great overview of important information.
  8. Remember, you have a plan deductible that applies to all services except preventive care. See your Membership Agreement to see what is considered preventive care. Once you’ve satisfied the plan deductible, you then pay any applicable copayment or coinsurance. We will send you an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) to help you track your out-of-pocket expenses.
  9. Know which hospitals are in our network. Hospital participation in our network changes from time to time, so be sure to visit our Web site at www.connecticare.com or call Member Services to confirm that the hospital is still in our network.
  10. We’re glad you’re a member. And we always have time for your questions and concerns. Simply tell us what they are. When in doubt, you can e-mail us at www.connecticare.com, or call Member Services at 1-800-251-7722. We can save you guesswork, trouble and money.
