If you submitted a claim to HTH, you will receive an Explanation of Benefits form. This form includes your name, address, claim number and insurance number. You will then see the following:

Treatment Dates

Lists the date(s) you received the medical care that you are being billed for.

Charge Amount(s)

Will list how much you were charged for the service(s) by your doctor.

Co-Pay/Deductible

Shows how much of the amount charged you will have to pay for.

Note: If you went to the University Health Center first, or you went for emergency treatment, this section should always say $0.00.

 

Not Covered

Lists any charge that the insurance company will not pay for.

Reason Code

The service code is the company’s way of saying why a charge was not covered.

Note: If the reason is that the charge exceeds the Reasonable and Customary fee, that means that the doctor charged more than what the insurance company will pay for that service. If you talk to the doctor, they may not make you pay that amount, but they might.

 

PPO Discount

Is a reduced rate that the insurance company pays to a doctor if the doctor agrees to a discounted rate.

Eligible Charges

Is how much the insurance company will pay after the discount (if any) is subtracted from the original charge.

Deductible Amount

Is the same as the Co-Pay/Deductible.

Payment Amount

Is how much the insurance company paid on the claim.

The service code, which is used if something is not covered by the insurance. The explanation of those codes along with any messages from the insurance company are at the bottom of the form.
