Here’s a helpful tip: Your Explanation of Benefits (EOB) is a tool, not a bill. Understanding these can help you take control of your health care. Think of it as a summary of the conversation between your doctor and your insurance. It shows you exactly what was covered, what we paid, and what you might owe the provider later.

Before you pay that next medical bill, make sure it matches your EOB. Learn how to read yours and what to do if the numbers don't add up

DYK South Carolina outpaces the nation in number of cases and deaths for colorectal cancer? Yet colon cancer is one of the most preventable cancers. Getting regular preventive screenings and doctor visits can make a difference for your health. Follow up with your doctor to stay on-track. Here’s more on how screenings catch cancer early: https://tinyurl.com/BCBSSC-Cancer-Screenings.

Common FAQs about these preventative screenings:

❓ The amount in my doctor’s bill is not what I was expecting for preventive care. Is there anything I can do?
If this happens, call the number on the back of your card and we will walk through the charges with you. If the care you received does not match the details in the claim we received, we may be able to work with you and your doctor to resolve it.

❓ Are screenings covered for me if I’m younger than 45 but at a higher risk?
According to CDC guidelines, it is medically appropriate to start screening at a younger age if certain risk factors exist. Ask your doctor to request authorization from your insurance company beforehand to ensure the appropriate details are already documented. This will make the claims process go smoothly once you receive the necessary care.

❓ Are colonoscopies the only screening that my insurance will cover?
No. Colonoscopies are considered the gold standard for detecting polyps. But there are several options seen as medically appropriate that we cover. You can call the number on the back of your insurance card for specifics on what other tests are covered as preventative care in your plan. The frequencies of these tests may differ from a colonoscopy so talk to your doctor about the best option for you.

Understanding your health plan can make a difference in how you use it. Your deductible is the amount you pay for covered health care services before your insurance plan starts to pay.

A few important things to know about deductibles:

⬆️ Generally plans with lower monthly premiums have higher deductibles.
🩺 Many plans pay for certain services like wellness checkups or disease management before you’ve met your deductible.
💊 Some plans have separate deductibles for other services like prescriptions.
📣 Some plans will only require a copayment for services like office visits or prescriptions, even if you haven’t met your deductible.
👥 Family plans often have an individual and family deductible.

Keep track of your health plan including your deductible in our member portal, My Health Toolkit. The mobile app means you can access your plan details anywhere.

You’re wondering if you actually need health insurance when you are young and healthy? 👀
The short answer? Yes.
The long answer? Also yes.

Being “healthy” doesn’t protect you from a health emergency tomorrow. Plus, getting routine care and check-ups keeps you “young and healthy” for longer.
