Summaries of Benefits and Coverage (SBCs)

As part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, health insurers and group health plans are required to provide you with an easy to understand document that lists and describes your plan’s health benefits and insurance coverage. This document is called a Summary of Benefits and Coverage, or an SBC. The purpose of the SBC is to provide you with basic benefit information in a format that uses short, plain language. The SBC does not replace your plan’s benefit summary. All insurance companies are required to use the same form ideally making it easier for you to compare health plans, benefits and plan features.

  Preventive care

We know behavioral health care isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. We’re all unique, and our journey and needs vary depending on our personal situation. At Providence, we want that lens to drive us when looking at the mix of services and solutions we offer for your well-being. Whether you’re looking for some support to relax, ready to try self-directed therapy that helps you to engage when you feel like it, or looking for immediate connection to a provider – via text, voice, video or face to face – we have many options to fit your needs.

Formulary

Providence Health Plan is pleased to provide plan members with a comprehensive prescription drug formulary designed to promote safe, effective and affordable drug therapy.

Your formulary has the following enhanced features:

• It’s easy to search
• It includes information about the medication
• It includes special considerations about the prescription, if applicable 
  
  

You can search:

• Alphabetically
• By entering a portion of the drug name 
• By therapeutic class

Tips to help you save when you need a prescription

• If you take an eligible specialty medication, the Smart RxAssist program helps lower your out-of-pocket costs to $0.
  • The list of medications eligible for this program is available here.
  • There is no cost to you for participating in the Smart RxAssist program.
  • You are automatically enrolled in the program if you take an eligible specialty medication in the Smart RxAssist program.
  • If you are filling an eligible medication in the Smart RxAssist program, a Patient Advocate may reach out to you to complete program enrollment.
  • Medications eligible for the program are subject to change.
  • Because this program provides a $0 cost not subject to the deductible, the tax laws regarding a health savings account make this program unavailable to those enrolled in the Health Savings Account (HSA) medical plan.
