• For out-of-network providers: You pay 40 percent of the allowed amount, and the provider may balance bill you. The plan pays most covered services at 60 percent of the allowed amount. Professional charges, such as for physician services while you are in the hospital or lab work, may be billed separately. Note: When you receive nonemergency services at a network hospital, network hospital outpatient department, network critical access hospital, or network ambulatory surgical center in Washington State, you pay the network rate and cannot be balance billed regardless of the network status of the provider. For nonemergency services performed at one of these facilities outside of Washington State, you still pay the network rate, but in some states, an out-of-network provider may be allowed to ask you to waive some of your balance billing protections. At an out-of-network facility, when you receive emergency services you pay the network cost-sharing amount regardless of the network status of the provider or facility and cannot be balance billed.
