Health Alliance HMO offers convenient access to quality health care at a high
level of coverage. The HMO benefit plan covers routine physicals, well-child
care, vision and hearing tests, prenatal care, immunizations, inoculations and
more. Below is a summary of how our HMO plans typically work. If you have
questions about our HMO plans, Contact Us.
-
Level of Coverage: HMO Plans typically offer the highest level of
coverage. Except in emergency situations or when the member has received
preauthorization from Health Alliance, members must receive care from
in-network providers. Our provider network includes physicians, hospitals and
pharmacies each chosen because of their reputation for excellence.
-
Primary Care Physicians: With a Health Alliance HMO plan,
members select a Primary Care Physician (PCP) within our network of providers to
coordinate all medical care. Members can change their PCP at any time by calling
our Customer Service Department.
-
Referrals and Authorizations: If specialty care is needed, the PCP will refer the
member to an in-network specialist. If the care needed is not available from a network provider,
a Health Alliance Medical Director can authorize coverage for care outside the network.
-
Prescription Coverage: Employers choose to offer prescription drug coverage as part
of their HMO benefit package. Typically, prescriptions require a copayment at the time they
are filled. Most packages offer a “tiered” prescription benefit where the prescription selected
determines how much the member pays.
-
Copayments, Coinsurance and Out-of-Pocket Maximums: Health Alliance HMO has no
deductibles, no lifetime maximum benefit limits and minimal cost-sharing mechanisms such
as copayments or coinsurance. Once a member has met the applicable copayment or
coinsurance amount, Health Alliance pays 100 percent of the remaining covered charges.
