Member Self-Service: Benefits Usage

Is it covered? What will my share of the cost be?

This is the information members need to know when considering a medical treatment or procedure. And while they can call and ask about their benefits, sitting on the phone to request information may not be the most efficient use of their time. That’s why there’s a faster and easier way for members to check their benefits—just log in!

All registered members have access to the Benefits Plan section within the Member Hub. They can search by benefit to see what’s covered under their plan and find out what their share of the cost will be. With these details at their fingertips, they can make smart decisions about their medical care.

Encourage your inbound or outbound populations to use this important self-service feature! To access it, just log in to the Member Hub. The new Benefits Plan section appears at the bottom of the Benefits Usage page.

Members are at the heart of what we do! What our members are saying about us.
“The customer service is very kind to help me, and they addressed my case so quickly. In addition, as a newcomer to the U.S., I am not good at speaking English. They even provided me with a translator. This helps me a lot.”
