Out-of-network reimbursements are based on eligible expenses as determined by the Plan administrator. You are responsible for any payments required to the provider in excess of the reasonable and customary amount.
Amounts paid to out-of-network providers count toward the in-network and out-of-network annual deductible. The amount you pay toward your annual deductible is included in your out-of-pocket maximum.
For non-preventive health care services, including office visits, coinsurance will apply after you have met your annual deductible. That means you will pay a percentage of the cost of services (coinsurance) rather than a flat fee (copay). The amount you pay in coinsurance plus the annual deductible during the year will not exceed your annual out-of-pocket maximum.
Upon enrolling in the program within 30 days of a cancer diagnosis and meeting your annual deductible, Morgan Stanley will cover 100% of the cost of all treatments and procedures provided by in-network doctors and facilities.
A lifetime maximum of $75,000 for fertility medical services and prescription drugs – combined with adoption and surrogacy reimbursements from the Firm – applies to each individual and amounts cannot be transferred whether covered as an employee or a dependent. The combined in- and out-of-network lifetime maximums apply across Plan administrators regardless of which carrier you choose, and include prior accumulation toward the fertility maximum and prior reimbursements from the Firm for adoption and surrogacy claims. Cryopreservation storage is limited to a 12-month period. Please contact your Plan administrator for further details.
Eligible expenses, otherwise known as Reasonable and Customary (R&C) charges, are determined by the health plan administrator. If you receive services from an out-of-network provider, you may be responsible for the amount billed in excess of the eligible expense.
