The period of time, usually 12 months as stated in the group contract, during which charges for covered services provided to a member must be incurred in order to be eligible for payment by Blue Cross NC.

To make sure you have access to high quality, cost-effective health care, we manage utilization through a variety of programs including certification, transplant management, concurrent and retrospective review. If you have a concern regarding the final determination of your care, you have the right to appeal the decision. For further information about our Utilization Management programs, please refer to your benefit booklet.
Certification is a program designed to make sure that your care is given in a cost effective setting and efficient manner. If you need to be hospitalized, you must obtain certification. Nonemergency and non-maternity hospital admissions must be certified prior to the hospitalization. If the admission is not certified, the claim will be denied.
For maternity admissions, your provider is not required to obtain certification from Blue Cross NC for prescribing a length of stay up to 48 hours for a normal vaginal delivery, or up to 96 hours for delivery by cesarean section. You or your provider must request certification for coverage for additional days, which will be given by Blue Cross NC, if medically necessary.
All inpatient and certain outpatient Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder services and all Adaptive Behavior Treatment must be certified in advance by Blue Cross NC or services will not be covered. Call Blue Cross NC at 1-800-359-2422. Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder office visits do not require certification. In-network providers in North Carolina are responsible for obtaining certifications. The member will bear no financial penalties if the innetwork provider in North Carolina fails to obtain the appropriate authorization. The member is responsible for obtaining certification for services rendered by an out-of-network provider in North Carolina or by any provider outside of North Carolina.

1NOTICE:
The period of time, usually 12 months as stated in the group contract, during which charges for covered services provided to a member must be incurred in order to be eligible for payment by Blue Cross NC. A charge shall be considered incurred on the date the service or supply was provided to a member.
The maximum amount that Blue Cross NC determines is to be paid for covered services provided to a member.
Out-of-Pocket Limit
The dollar amount you pay for covered services in a benefit period before Blue Cross NC pays 100% of covered services. It includes deductible, coinsurance and copayments. It does not include charges over the allowed amount, premiums, and charges for non-covered services.
To make sure you have access to high quality, cost-effective health care, we manage utilization through a variety of programs including certification, transplant management, concurrent and retrospective review. If you have a concern regarding the final determination of your care, you have the right to appeal the decision. For further information about our Utilization Management programs, please refer to your benefit booklet.
Certification is a program designed to make sure that your care is given in a cost effective setting and efficient manner. If you need to be hospitalized, you must obtain certification. Nonemergency and non-maternity hospital admissions must be certified prior to the hospitalization. If the admission is not certified, the claim will be denied.
For maternity admissions, your provider is not required to obtain certification from Blue Cross NC for prescribing a length of stay up to 48 hours for a normal vaginal delivery, or up to 96 hours for delivery by cesarean section. You or your provider must request certification for coverage for additional days, which will be given by Blue Cross NC, if medically necessary.
All inpatient and certain outpatient Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder services and all Adaptive Behavior Treatment must be certified in advance by Blue Cross NC or services will not be covered. Call Blue Cross NC at 1-800-359-2422. Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder office visits do not require certification. In-network providers in North Carolina are responsible for obtaining certifications. The member will bear no financial penalties if the innetwork provider in North Carolina fails to obtain the appropriate authorization. The member is responsible for obtaining certification for services rendered by an out-of-network provider in North Carolina or by any provider outside of North Carolina.

Negotiated fees are subject to change. Savings from enrolling in a dental benefits plan will depend on various factors, including the cost of the plan, how often members visit a dentist and the cost of services rendered. Negotiated fees are subject to change.
There are thousands of general dentists and specialists to choose from nationwide so you are sure to find one that meets your needs. You can receive a list of these participating dentists online at www.metlife.com/dental or call 1 800 275 4638 to have a list faxed or mailed to you.
Please see your Certificate of Insurance for a list of covered services.
Yes. You are always free to select the dentist of your choice. However, if you choose a non participating (out of network) dentist, your out of pocket costs may be greater than your out of pocket costs when visiting an in network dentist.
Yes. If your current dentist does not participate in the network and you would like to encourage him or her to apply, ask your dentist to visit www.metdental.com, or call 1 866 PDP NTWK for an application.* The website and phone number are for use by dental professionals only.
* Due to contractual requirements, MetLife is prevented from soliciting certain providers.
Dentists may submit your claims for you which means you have little or no paperwork. You can track your claims online and even receive email alerts when a claim has been processed. If you need a claim form, visit www.metlife.com/dental or request one by calling 1 800 275 4638.
Can I get an estimate of what my out of pocket expenses will be before receiving a service?
Yes. You can ask for a pretreatment estimate. Your general dentist or specialist usually sends MetLife a plan for your care and requests an estimate of benefits. The estimate helps you prepare for the cost of dental services. We recommend that you request a pre treatment estimate for services in excess of $300. Simply have your dentist submit a request online at www.metdental.com or call 1 877 MET DDS9. You and your dentist will receive a benefit estimate for most procedures while you are still in the office. Actual payments may vary depending upon plan maximums, deductibles, frequency limits and other conditions at time of payment.
Yes. Through international dental travel assistance services* you can obtain a referral to a local dentist by calling +1 312 356 5970 (collect) when outside the U.S. to receive immediate care until you can see your dentist. Coverage will be considered under your out of network benefits.** Please remember to hold on to all receipts to submit a dental claim.
** Refer to your Certificate of Insurance for your out of network dental coverage.

Coordination of benefits provisions in dental benefits plans are a set of rules that are followed when a patient is covered by more than one dental benefits plan. These rules determine the order in which the plans will pay benefits. If the MetLife dental benefit plan is primary, MetLife will pay the full amount of benefits that would normally be available under the plan. If the MetLife dental benefit plan is secondary, most coordination of benefits provisions require MetLife to determine benefits after benefits have been determined under the primary plan. The amount of benefits payable by MetLife may be reduced due to the benefits paid under the primary plan.
No, You do not need to present an ID card to confirm that you are eligible. You should notify your dentist that you are enrolled in a MetLife Dental Plan. Your dentist can easily verify information about your coverage through a toll free automated Computer Voice Response system.
No. You and your dependents each have the freedom to choose any dentist.

Use the below information to determine if a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is right for you and how to best take advantage of an FSA account.
When you enroll in a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) you get to experience tax savings on qualified expenses such as copays, deductibles, prescriptions, over-the-counter drugs and medications, and thousands of other everyday items.
You can’t contribute to an FSA and HSA within the same plan year. However, you can contribute to an HSA and a limited purpose FSA, which only covers dental and vision expenses.
As per IRS Publication 969, an employee covered by an HDHP and a health FSA or an HRA that pays or reimburses qualified medical expenses generally can’t make contributions to an HSA. An employee is also not HSA-eligible during an FSA Grace Period. An employee enrolled in a Limited Purpose FSA is HSA-eligible.
As a married couple, one spouse cannot be enrolled in an FSA at the same time the other is contributing to an HSA. FSA coverage extends tax benefits to family members allowing the FSA holder to be reimbursed for medical expenses for themselves, their spouse, and their dependents.
• Election Accessibility: You will have access to your entire election on the first day of the plan year.
• Save On Eligible Expenses: You can save up to 40% on thousands of eligible everyday expenses such as prescriptions, doctor’s visits, dental services, glasses, over-the-counter medicines, and copays.
• Keep More Money: The funds are taken out of your paycheck "pre-tax" (meaning they are subtracted from your gross earnings before taxes) throughout the course of the year. Let’s say you earn $40,000 a year and contribute $1,500 to an FSA; so, only $38,500 of your income gets taxed. That means you are increasing your take-home pay simply by participating!
• Easy Spending and Account Management: You will receive an Ameriflex Debit Mastercard linked to your FSA. You can use your card for eligible purchases everywhere Mastercard is accepted. Account information can be securely accessed 24/7 online and through the mobile app.
Learn more at myameriflex.com | 844.423.4636 | info@myameriflex.com
The IRS determines what expenses are eligible under an FSA. Below are some examples of common eligible expenses.
Copays, deductibles, and other payments you are responsible for under your health plan.
Routine exams, dental care, prescription drugs, eye care, hearing aids, etc.
Prescription glasses and sunglasses, contact lenses and solution, LASIK, and eye exams.
Certain OTC expenses such as Band-aids, medicine, First Aid supplies, etc. (prescription required).
For a full list of eligible expenses, go to myameriflex.com/eligibleexpenses.
Diabetic equipment and supplies, durable medical equipment, and qualified medical products or services.
If you contribute dollars to a reimbursement account and do not use all the money you deposit, you will lose any remaining balance in the account at the end of the eligible claims period. This rule, established by the IRS as a component of tax-advantaged plans, is referred to as the “use-or-lose” rule.
To avoid losing any of the funds you contribute to your FSA, it’s important to plan ahead as much as possible to estimate what your expenditures will be in a given plan year. Learn
Use the below information to determine if a Dependent Care Account (DCA) is right for you and how to best take advantage of an DCA account.
When you enroll in a Dependent Care Account (DCA) you get to experience tax savings on expenses like daycare, elderly care, summer day camp, preschool, and other services that allow you to work full time.
• Save On Eligible Expenses: You can use a DCA to pay for qualifying expenses such as daycare, summer day care, elder care, before and after school programs, and pre-school.
• Keep More Money: The funds are taken out of your paycheck "pre-tax" (meaning they are subtracted from your gross earnings before taxes) throughout the course of the year. Let’s say you earn $40,000 a year and contribute $1,500 to an DCA; so, only $38,500 of your income gets taxed. That means you are increasing your take-home pay simply by participating!
• Easy Spending and Account Management: You will receive an Ameriflex Debit Mastercard linked to your DCA. You can use your card for eligible purchases everywhere Mastercard is accepted. Account information can be securely accessed 24/7 online and through the mobile app.
The IRS determines what expenses are eligible under a DCA. Below are some examples of common eligible expenses:
Private sitter Before- and after-school care
Daycare and elder care
Nanny service
Summer day camp

Will my disability income payment be reduced if I have other insurance?
Benefits are payable regardless of workers’ compensation or any other insurance you may have with other insurance companies. Benefits are payable directly to you (unless you specify otherwise).
When am I considered totally disabled?
Totally disabled means you are:
• Unable to perform the material and substantial duties of your occupation;
• Not, in fact, working at any occupation; and
• Under the regular and appropriate care of a doctor.
What if I want to return to work part time after I am totally disabled?
You may be able to return to work part time and still receive benefits. We call this “Partial Disability.” This means you may be eligible for coverage if:
• You are unable to perform the material and substantial duties of your job for more than half of your normally weekly scheduled hours;
• You are able to work at your job or your place of employment for less than half of your normally weekly scheduled hours;
• Your employer will allow you to return to your job or place of employment for less than half of your normally weekly scheduled hours; and
• You are under the regular and appropriate care of a doctor.
The total disability benefit must have been paid for at least fourteen days immediately prior to your being partially disabled.
The Total Disability Benefit will end on the policy anniversary date on or next following your 70th birthday, or when you are no longer considered disabled as defined in the policy, whichever comes first.
The Hospital Confinement benefit increases when the Total Disability Benefit ends.

A pre-existing condition means a sickness or physical condition for which any covered person was treated, received medical advice, or had taken medication within twelve months before the effective date of the policy. If you are age 65 or older when the policy is issued, pre-existing conditions include only conditions specifically excluded from coverage by the rider.

This benefit provides coverage for a disability due to a mental or nervous condition. Coverage provides a benefit up to three months per occurrence, with a cumulative lifetime maximum benefit of 24 months.

Life insurance needs change as life circumstances change. You may need different coverage if you’re getting married, buying a home or having a child.
Term life insurance from Colonial Life provides protection for a specified period of time, typically offering the greatest amount of coverage for the lowest initial premium. This fact makes term life insurance a good choice for supplementing cash value coverage during life stages when obligations are higher, such as while children are younger. It’s also a good option for families on a tight budget — especially since you can convert it to a permanent cash value plan later.
n A beneficiary can receive a benefit that is typically free from income tax.
n The policy’s accelerated death benefit can pay a percentage of the death benefit if the covered person is diagnosed with a terminal illness.
n You can convert it to a Colonial Life cash value insurance plan, with no proof of good health, to age 75.
n Coverage is guaranteed renewable up to age 95 as long as premiums are paid when due.
n Portability allows you to take it with you if you change jobs or retire.
1. Spouse Term Life Policy: Offers guaranteed premiums and level death benefits equivalent to those available to you –whether or not you buy a policy for yourself.
2. Spouse Term Life Rider: Add a term rider for your spouse to your policy, up to a maximum death benefit of $50,000; 10-year and 20-year are available (20-year rider only available with a 20- or 30-year term policy).
The Children’s Term Life Rider may be added to either the primary or spouse policy, not both.
If the insured dies by suicide, whether sane or insane, within two years (one year in ND) from the coverage effective date or the date of reinstatement, we will not pay the death benefit. We will terminate this policy and return the premiums paid, without interest. Product may vary by state. For cost and complete details of the coverage, call or write your Colonial Life benefits counselor or the company.

If you suffer a heart attack (myocardial infarction), stroke or end-stage renal (kidney) failure, a $5,000 benefit is payable.1 A subsequent diagnosis benefit is included
Premiums are waived (for the policy and riders) if you become totally disabled before the policy anniversary following your 65th birthday and you satisfy the six-month elimination period.3
