- ESTIMATE OUT-OF-NETWORK OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS
Nothing herein is a guarantee of benefits or eligibility. All terms, provisions, conditions, limitations and exclusions shown in your Nippon Life Insurance Company of America certificate booklet and master policy will govern.
You may estimate your anticipated out-of-pocket costs for out-of-network covered medical services by contacting your provider for the amount that he/she will charge, or by visiting *www.fairhealthconsumer.org to determine the usual and customary cost for these services in your geographic area or zip code, and comparing it to our estimated payment - you may contact us at 1-800-374-1835 to request our estimated payment for a specific out-of-network service covered under your plan.
Please note that these payment amounts and charges are only an estimate based on the information submitted and not a guaranteed amount. Your actual out-of-pocket costs may differ based on a number of factors, including, for example, your actual plan provisions and benefits, your eligibility, the actual services provided to you, whether the services are covered by your plan, whether the services are medically necessary, the procedure codes submitted by your provider, whether other providers render services to you, the location of the services, your cost-sharing requirements, or other variables that may impact the cost of services. Also, even though your provider may bill separately for multiple procedure codes, we may determine that there is a single code that should have been billed for all of the procedures and we will pay for only that code. At all times, all terms, provisions, conditions, limitations and exclusions shown in your certificate-booklet and master policy will apply and govern.
