Conditions and Limitations: You are covered for emergencies anywhere in the world.  If the situation is life threatening, go straight to the nearest hospital's emergency room or call 911.  If at all possible, try to reach your PHS primary care physician.  Please be sure it is a true emergency.  Many people go to the emergency room for things like colds, sore throats,coughs and routine fevers because it is convenient.  While none of these problems constitutes an emergency, you are covered for all of them through a visit to your physician's office.  You will be responsible for emergency room charges when it is not an emergency.

Out of Network Benefits: When using out of network benefits, prior autorization is required for all in- patient and out patient hospital admissions, all elective ambulatory surgical procedures and most diagnostic procedures performed in a non-plan hospital or free-standing surgical center.  To obtain prior authorization, please contact PHS' Customer Service Department at 1-800-441-5741.  A penalty is applied to out-of-network reimbursement when the member does not complete the prior authorization process.

General Exclusions: You are not covered for physical exams for employment, insurance, school, premarital requirement or summer camp (unless submitted for a normal physical exam); prescription drugs and some injectible dispensed by a physician in his or her office; prescription drugs prescribed for a non-covered service; dental services unless provided by a rider to the PHS Subscriber Contract; eyeglasses or contact lenses unless provided by a rider to the PHS Subscriber Contract; hearing aids: routine foot care; foot orthotics; some transplant procedures; cosmetic or reconstructive surgery, unless medically necessary; custodial services; weight-reduction programs;marraige counseling; or long term psychiatric treatment.

     PHS will not duplicate any benefits for which members are entitled under worker's compensation, No-Fault,Medicare, or other group health insurance coverage.  The services, exclusions and limitations listed above do not constitute a contract and are a summary only.  The PHS Subscriber Contract is the final arbiter of coverage under PHS.  If you have any questions, please call the PHS Customer Service Department at 1-800-441-5741.  Benefits are subject to Department of Insurance approval.
