A TRUE COPY CERTIFICATION ON LAST PAGE RYAN L. BUTLER, CLERK The Member may be responsible for the difference between the amount that the nonparticipating healthcare provider bills and the payment BCBSF and/or its Designated Agent will make for the covered services as set forth in this paragraph. 2. Fees and Compensation Employer understands and agrees to reimburse BCBSF and/or its Designated Agent for certain fees and compensation which we are obligated under applicable Inter -Plan Arrangement requirements to pay to the Host Blues, to the Association and/or to vendors of Inter -Plan Arrangement related services. The specific fees and compensation that are charged to Employer are set forth in this Exhibit B, if applicable. Fees and compensation under applicable Inter -Plan Arrangements may be revised from time to time. G. Blue Cross Blue Shield Global® Core 1. General Information If Members are outside the United States, (the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands) (hereinafter: "BlueCard service area"), they may be able to take advantage of the Blue Cross Blue Shield Global® Core when accessing covered healthcare services. The Blue Cross Blue Shield Global® Core is unlike the BlueCard Program available in the BlueCard service area in certain ways. For instance, although the Blue Cross Blue Shield Global® Core assists Members with accessing a network of inpatient, outpatient and professional providers, the network is not served by a Host Blue. As such, when Members receive care from providers outside the BlueCard service area, the Members will typically have to pay the providers and submit the claims themselves to obtain reimbursement for these services. Inpatient Services - In most cases, if Members contact the Blue Cross Blue Shield Global® Core Service Center for assistance, hospitals will not require Members to pay for covered inpatient services, except for their cost -share amounts. In such cases, the hospital will submit Member claims to the Blue Cross Blue Shield Global® Core Service Center to initiate claims processing. However, if the Member paid in full at the time of service, the Member must submit a claim to obtain reimbursement for covered healthcare services. Members must contact BCBSF and/or its Designated Agent to obtain precertification for non -emergency inpatient services. Outpatient Services - Physicians, urgent care centers and other outpatient providers located outside the BlueCard service area will typically require Members to pay in full at the time of service. Members must submit a claim to obtain reimbursement for covered healthcare services. • Submitting a Blue Cross Blue Shield Global® Core Claim When Members pay for covered healthcare services outside the BlueCard 16
