Effective August 1, 2011, services received by eligible BCBSNC members at certain independent UNC clinics will be treated as a single office visit with only one applicable copayment due at the time of service for members enrolled in a copayment product. Individual and group UW, ASO, State Health Plan, Federal Employee Program, and Inter-Plan Home members will be eligible for this upfront cost-savings at these specific UNC Hospitals clinics.
BCBSNC members with appointments on or after August 1 at any of the newly designated independent clinics will receive a letter from UNC Hospitals explaining that they can expect to pay an estimated out-of-pocket amount upfront, for clinic services, that is equal to the amount of their copayment, if applicable.
Highly specialized care and services received at UNC clinics, such as oncology/cancer care, transplant services, MRIs, CT scans, etc., will be subject to the member’s applicable deductible and coinsurance amounts.
