Guarantee
Trust Life Assure Care Complete PPO Health Insurance Plan
The "Complete" P.P.O. comprehensive Health Insurance plan is underwritten by Guarantee Trust Life Insurance Company of Glenview, Illinois (www.gtlic.com) licensed in 49 states and founded in 1936. The Complete plan provides multiple calendar year deductible choices to choose from, ranging from $1,500 or $7,500. The plan offers $40 unlimited outpatient doctor office sick visit co pays. The outpatient doctor co pay benefit is a "first dollar" benefit. This means that with this option added to the plan, each time you are sick you will pay your $40 outpatient doctor office co pay and the rest of the doctor's office charges will be paid at 100% with no deductible required. 80/20, and 50/50 "co-insurance" plans are available with "stop loss" numbers ranging from as low as $5,000 to as high as $40,000. The terms "co-insurance" and "stop loss" are very rarely if ever discussed with a prospective insured. This is because they have a direct effect on how much you as the insured will pay in the event of a worse case scenario. This being the case, it is crucial to understand these two important health insurance terms prior to purchasing a health insurance plan. Please ask your agent to clarify these clearly before deciding on a plan. The definition of "co-insurance" is the percentage of a predetermined annual dollar amount of medical bills (known as the "stop loss" number) that you agree to share with the insurance company after you have satisfied your calendar year deductible before the insurance company pays 100%. To better illustrate let's use the example of an 80/20 of $10,000 split. With this arrangement, after you have satisfied your calendar year deductible the insurance company will pay 80% ($8,000) and you will pay 20% ($2,000) of the first $10,000 in medical bills that you incur each calendar year. This $10,000 amount is known as the "stop loss number". After this brief cost sharing arrangement is over the insurance company pays 100% per insured for the rest of that calendar year. Everything starts over again on the first of each subsequent calendar year.
The "Complete" plan also offers a
"first dollar" outpatient prescription co pay card with $15 co pays
for generic prescription drugs and $30 co pays for formulary brand name
prescription drugs. Afterwards GTL will pay 50%. Their is no deductible
required for Generic medications. Brand name medications require a separate
$500 outpatient prescription drug card calendar year deductible to be
satisfied before Brand name medications will be covered for a co pay. For a
significantly lower monthly premium the insured can choose an outpatient
Generic drug card only. If this option is chosen, outpatient Generic drugs
will be covered for a $20 co pay with no deductible required first. However,
Brand name outpatient medications would not be covered with
this option. Since conditions such as Rheumetoid Arthritis and Multiple
Sclerosis (and a whole host of others) require very expensive outpatient
medications. One needs to carefully weigh the additional risk when
considering this Generic only outpatient prescription drug card option. 4th Quarter Deductible Carry over is also included with both plans as well as an Accident Medical Expense plan that will waive your calendar year deductible in the event of an accident injury. Treatment for hernia; tonsils; adenoiditis; any disease or disorder of the reproductive system; any rectal disease or disorder; gall bladder; varicose veins; or laminectomy, discectomy or spinal fusion will not be covered for the first six months of policy ownership. This waiting period shall not apply when treatment for these conditions is needed in an emergency situation nor when a covered person is receiving treatment due to a malignancy (cancer).
