A TRUE COPY <br /> €;ERTIFICATION CN LAST PAGE <br /> J.R. SMITH CLERK <br /> emergency services will be governed by applicable federal and state law. <br /> b. Exceptions <br /> In some exception cases, at Employer's direction, Florida Blue may pay claims from <br /> nonparticipating healthcare providers outside of Florida Blue's service area based on <br /> the provider's billed charge. This may occur in situations where a member did not <br /> have reasonable access to a participating provider, as determined by Florida Blue (in <br /> Florida Blue's sole and absolute discretion) or by applicable state law. In other <br /> exception cases, (at Employer's direction) Florida Blue may pay such claims based <br /> on the payment Florida Blue would make if Florida Blue were paying a <br /> nonparticipating provider inside of Florida Blue's service area, as described <br /> elsewhere in this Agreement. This may occur where the Host Blue's corresponding <br /> payment would be more than Florida Blue's in-service area nonparticipating provider <br /> payment. Florida Blue may choose to negotiate a pay ment with such a provider on <br /> an exception basis. <br /> Unless otherwise stated, in any of these exception situations, the member may be <br /> responsible for the difference between the amount that the nonparticipating <br /> healthcare provider bills and the payment Florida Blue will make for the covered <br /> services as set forth in this paragraph. <br /> 2. Fees and Compensation <br /> Employer understands and agrees to reim burse Florida Blue for certain fees and <br /> compensation which we are obligated under applicabl a Inter-Plan Arrangement <br /> requirements to pay to the Host Blues, to the Association and/or to vendors of Inter-Plan <br /> Arrangement-related services. The specific fees and compensation that are charged to <br /> Employer are set forth in Exhibit B, if applicable. Fees and compensation under <br /> applicable Inter-Plan Arrangements may be revised from time to time. <br /> G. BlueCard WorldwideO Program <br /> 1. General Information <br /> If members are outside the United States, (the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and the <br /> U.S. Virgin Islands) (hereinafter: "BlueCard service area"), they may be able to take <br /> advantage of the BlueCard Worldwide Program when accessing covered healthcare <br /> services. The BlueCard Worldwide Program is unlike the BlueCard Program available <br /> in the BlueCard service area in certain ways. For instance, although the BlueCard <br /> Worldwide Program assists members with accessing a network of inpatient, outpatient <br /> and professional providers, the network is not served by a Host Blue. As such, when <br /> members receive care from providers outside the BlueCard service area, the members <br /> will typically have to pay the providers and subm it the claims themselves to obtain <br /> reimbursement for these services. <br /> • Inpatient Services <br /> In most cases, if members contact the BlueCard Worldwide Service Center for <br /> assistance, hospitals will not require members to pay for covered inpatient services, <br /> except for their cost-share amounts. In such cases, the hospital will submit member <br /> claims to the BlueCard Worldwide Service Center to initiate claims processing. <br /> 20160629 7 <br />
