    Emergency Room (ER)

    The ER waiting room is no fun. It’s often a long wait and the most expensive place to receive care. If your condition doesn’t require immediate medical treatment for a life-threatening emergency or trauma, consider an Urgent Care, Teladoc or your PCP. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, always go to the nearest facility or call 911.

    Visit the nearest emergency room or call 911 for potentially life-threatening conditions, such as:

    • Abdominal pain (severe)
    • Asthma attack (severe)
    • Bleeding (uncontrolled)
    • Burns (severe)
    • Chest pain or discomfort
    • Confusion
    • Cuts or lacerations (moderate to severe)
    • Dehydration
    • Dizziness
    • Fainting
    • Headaches (severe)
    • Heart palpitations
    • High fevers
    • Infants less than 2 months old with fever
    • Ingestion of poison
    • Major head injury
    • Pneumonia
    • Seizures
    • Shock
    • Shortness of breath
    • Significant trauma or injuries
    • Swallowing of foreign objects
    • Unconscious of loss of consciousness
    • Visible factures

    In case of an emergency, the Health Connect Plan pays benefits for emergency room care at the Health Connect network level, even at Extended network and out of network hospitals.

    Your primary care provider—your health care partner

    To get the most out of the Health Connect Plan, you are highly encouraged to choose a PCP from the Health Connect network when you enroll in the plan. Because the PCP relationship is so important in coordinated care, PCPs will be assigned for you and each of your family members if you don’t choose them. However, you are free to change your PCP at any time. PCPs are often physicians but can also be nurse practitioners or physician assistants. PCPs include:

    • Family medicine providers
    • Internal medicine providers
    • Pediatric medicine providers
    • Geriatric medicine providers

    Your PCP gets to know you and creates a personalized care plan, addresses your day-to-day health care needs, and works with their Health Connect partners to help coordinate care if you have more complex health needs. Your PCP is part of a broader care team working to make sure you get the right care at the right time, which can reduce duplicate tests and services, unnecessary treatment, and other avoidable health care costs over time.

    Specialists

    The Health Connect network includes a wide range of specialists and other health care providers and facilities concentrated primarily on the Eastside. You also have the option to use other Premera providers (called the Extended network) without a referral, though you will typically pay more out of pocket to see providers outside the Health Connect network. (The Extended network consists of Premera providers who are not part of the Health Connect network.) Care received by out of network providers is subject to the deductible and the providers may charge more than the allowed amount, which would be your responsibility to pay.

    X-rays and Labs

    You always have the flexibility to choose any lab, clinic, or hospital within either the Health Connect network or Extended network for X-rays and lab work.

    Note: The cost for X-rays or lab work generally is in addition to your PCP or specialist office visit copay. See How you pay for care for more information.

    Prescriptions

    Under the Health Connect Plan, you can fill prescriptions at any retail network pharmacy, including the on-campus Living Well Health Center Pharmacy in Building 21. If you take medications on an ongoing basis, you may also take advantage of a mail-order option that delivers medications to you at home, saving you both time and money.

    The Health Connect Plan prescription coverage is a 3-tier prescription drug benefit that allows enrollees to make informed choices and encourages value when choosing prescription medications. The copay will vary depending on the tier that the medication is in.

    Tier One (Generic) – These drugs are typically generics and have the lowest copay.

    Tier Two (Preferred Brand) – These are brand drugs that typically do not have generic equivalent alternatives. These brand drugs may also have unique clinical advantages and offer overall greater value relative to other brand products in the same medication class.

    Tier Three (Non-preferred Brand) – These are brand drugs that typically do have generic equivalent alternatives. These drugs have the highest copay.
