Q: What do I have to pay for a doctor's visit under Basic Health Insurance"?
A: Assuming that you are enrolled in the enhanced plan, this insurance pays $65 for a doctor's visit up to the maximum number of visits allowed. You pay the price the doctor charges minus $65. There is no deductible or co-payment. Remember that Basic Health Insurance is intended as a supplemental insurance and the price of the office visit may depend on the Preferred Provider Arrangement under your primary health plan. If your primary health plan does not include a PPO benefit, then you can save more money by enrolling in a PPO discount plan in combination with the Basic Health Insurance. Details are available at www.ehealthdiscountplan.com. For example, assuming no other insurance applies, if the doctor's normal office visit fee is $120 and the PPO network price is $85, then you pay $85 minus the $65 that is paid by Basic Health Insurance so your net cost is $20.
