With the LM HealthWorks Plan, opportunities exist for you to be an active participant in your health care. This includes knowing more about your health care costs. Because you pay a percentage of your covered expenses, it’s important to know the actual cost of the services you receive. It’s also important to anticipate and estimate out-of-pocket expenses when you can and in turn, plan for them. The plan has tools that can help.
As a member of the plan, you can use the Cost of Care tools at the Aetna member website during the year to get estimated average costs for medical treatments and procedures, tests and other services in your area. For example, you can compare the cost of over 30 common medical procedures (such as MRI, CT scan, and colonoscopy) at facilities in select locations around the country. When you use the tool, you’ll get a list showing hospitals and other facilities in your area that perform these procedures, with actual cost ranges — by facility — for each procedure.Remember, you pay a percentage share of pharmacy costs, too. Find out what you’ll pay before you visit a participating pharmacy or place an order with the mail-order service. For more information go to the CVS Caremark website, and select LMPlan1 in the Check drug costs section to identify your prescription drug coverage and costs.
