How SmartSense plans work

Because SmartSense plans are PPO (preferred provider organization) health plans, each plan:

• Has an annual deductible. This is the amount you have to pay out of pocket each year before your plan starts paying. (Deductibles don't apply to your first three network doctor visits)
• Starts paying a portion of your covered medical expenses once your annual deductible is met. Your share costs for covered services is called your coinsurance.
• Saves you more money when you use a doctor in the PPO Network. For a list of network doctors, go to anthem.com, access your state's homepage and click on "Find a Doctor".

Built-in prescription drug coverage

The high cost of today's prescription drugs can be financial drain on your family. That's why every SmartSense plan helps pay for:

Genric drugs: Coverage is immediate with no deductible t worry about. You'll always save the most when you choose generic drugs.

Brand-name and specialty drugs: A separate deductible is required before coverage begins. If you choose a brand-name drug when generic is available, SmartSense will pay the allowed amount for the generic drug and you'll have to pay the difference.

Good to know: There is some flexibility in the price of your SmartSense plan depending on how much you're willing to pay out-of-pocket each year for your deductible and/or brand-name and specialty drugs.
