FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
• How
does my Limited Medical Plan work?
ALTA offers two
different insurance plan designs. Indemnity plans and
Co-pay plans with Coinsurance. Both plans include an assignment
of benefits provision. Benefit amounts for reimbursement
or assignment to providers are shown within the Schedule
of Benefits. If you utilize a PPO provider or hospital,
your fees/charges for services will be reduced. Co-Pay
and Coinsurance plans are unique to the extent they mirror
traditional managed care plan designs, with limits on
a per occurrence basis. Limited Medical
Plans are not Major Medical plans.
