Network Discounts Strength in
Numbers

| All
Golden Rule health insurance plans include access to one of our
Savings-Based Networks. Preferred Networks are also available, and
offer significant premium discounts.
Savings-Based
Networks
While you are free to use any health care professional, using a Savings-Based Network physician or hospital benefits you in the following ways:
|
Preferred
Networks Available in most areas. A Preferred Network includes physicians, hospitals, and other health care providers that have agreed to provide quality health care at reduced costs. Lower costs mean lower premiums. Most applicants choose one of our Preferred Networks to take advantage of these premium reductions. In return for the premium reduction, you agree to use physicians, hospitals, and other health care providers in your Preferred Network. If you are insured under a Preferred Network plan and receive non-emergency services outside your Preferred Network, covered expenses are:
If you are under a Copay Plan (which requires Preferred Network), office visit expenses outside your network are not eligible for copay benefits. |

How
HSAs Work
HSA
Plans offer quality coverage, savings The money you save on premiums can be put into your tax-favored health savings account (HSA). You can withdraw the money to help pay your deductible or other qualified health care expenses. Once your deductible is met, the insurance plan starts paying for covered expenses. Your unspent savings roll over year after year. Lower
premiums, tax-advantaged savings, and an attractive interest
rate* Your health savings grow tax-deferred, and can be withdrawn tax-free to help pay your deductible or for other qualified health care expenses like prescriptions, vision, or dental care. What you don’t use will continue to accumulate year after year. Then, if you ever need it for health care expenses, the money will be there. At Golden Rule, you’ll earn interest on your savings, beginning with the first dollar deposited.
* See HSA Insert for important information. |
