Notice

This is a brief description of the benefits provided by the plan. Please see the Certificate or Policy on file at your school for a description of benefits, limitations, and provisions of the plan. Subject to Insurance Department approval. Any provisions of the Policy, as described in this summary, that may be in conflict with the laws of the state where the school is located will be administered to conform with the requirements of that state’s laws, including those relating to mandated benefits.

The information contained in this summary is accurate at the time of publication, but may change in accordance with state and federal insurance regulations during the course of the Policy year. The most current version of this document will be posted online at the website listed on the cover. In the case of a discrepancy between two versions of the summary, the most recent will apply.

Eligibility and Enrollment

Any full-time undergraduate student who is registered and attending classes at Menlo College is required to have adequate health insurance coverage. You will be automatically enrolled in SHIP, unless you provide comparable coverage and submit a waiver by the Waiver Deadline Date (see Waiver FAQ for more information). If you have other health insurance, such as coverage under your parent’s or employer’s insurance plan, and you do not wish to enroll in SHIP, you may submit a waiver application. (Note: International students are not allowed to waive coverage.)

Students must actively attend classes for at least the first 31 days after the date for which coverage is purchased. Home study, correspondence, and television (TV) courses do not fulfill the Eligibility requirements that the student actively attend classes. The Company maintains its right to investigate student status and attendance records to verify that the Policy Eligibility requirements have been met. If and whenever the Company discovers that the Policy Eligibility requirements have not been met, its only obligation is refund of premium.

Coverage for dependents is not available under this plan.

ID Card

Permanent insurance ID cards will be mailed to students after the start of the term. However, all students can download their insurance ID cards at www.4studenthealth.com/menlo at any time.

Carry your ID card with you at all times! You will need your card when you visit the doctor’s office, urgent care, or hospital.

Seeking Medical Care

If you experience an Injury or Sickness:

1. If you need to seek medical treatment, using PPO providers that are part of the First Health Network could decrease your costs. For a complete listing of PPO physicians, hospitals, and other facilities, visit www.myfirsthealth.com.

2. In case of an Emergency, go to the nearest hospital or call 911. Follow-up care at the ER is not covered; you will need to seek follow-up care with a PPO provider.

3. If it is not an Emergency but you need to seek medical treatment right away, using an Urgent Care Center instead of a Hospital ER may decrease your out-of-pocket expenses. To locate a local Urgent Care Center, visit www.myfirsthealth.com.

4. After you receive treatment at a PPO provider, your provider will usually submit a claim to the insurance company. You will receive an Explanation of Benefits from Relation, detailing what the insurance paid and what is your responsibility to pay. If you have questions about your Explanation of Benefits or what is your responsibility to pay, please call (800) 468-4343. Do not ignore any medical bills you receive.

5. If your provider bills you directly or asks you to pay up front, you will need to submit a claim.

Please visit www.4studenthealth.com/menlo and see Claims under the USE YOUR INSURANCE section for information about how to submit a claim.

Preferred Provider Organization

This plan includes a network of medical professionals, including doctors and hospitals, known as the

Preferred Provider Organization (PPO). This PPO is available through First Health Network. If you need to see a provider, you should utilize a PPO provider. While you are allowed to visit any provider of your choosing, if you use a PPO doctor or facility, you will pay less money out-of-pocket.

Network access provides benefits nationwide for Eligible Expenses incurred at 90% of the Preferred Allowance (PA) when treated by network providers (PPO). Benefits are provided worldwide for Eligible Expenses incurred at 70% of Usual and Reasonable Charge (U&R) when treated by non-network providers (non-PPO). Note: Charge in excess of U&R are still the responsibility of the Plan Participant.

Menlo College / 2019–2020 Plan Summary/ 4 /

Preferred Providers have contracted to provide specific medical care at negotiated prices. The availability of specific providers is subject to change without notice. The Plan Participant should always confirm that a Preferred Provider is participating at the time services are required by checking the Preferred Provider Network website or calling the Preferred Provider Network and by asking the provider when he or she makes an appointment for services. Non-network providers have not agreed to any prearranged fee schedules. You may incur significant out-of-pocket expenses with these providers. Charges in excess of the insurance payment are your responsibility.

Please be aware that if you are treated at a PPO Hospital, it does not mean that all providers at that Hospital are PPO providers. If you are referred by a PPO provider to another provider or facility, it does not necessarily mean that the provider or facility to which you are referred is also a PPO provider. For example, when a network provider refers you to a lab for tests, be sure it is a network lab. This information can be found on the network website.

To find a PPO provider, visit www.myfirsthealth.com or call (800) 226-5116. Contact the provider prior to your visit to confirm their membership in the network.
