SB476 Acknowledgement
I understand that I am enrolling in a
health care plan, which requires that health care services must be provided
by participating providers. Failure to use a participating provider will
result in reduced coverage or no coverage for services that I receive, and I
will be fully responsible for any and all costs not covered by Blue Cross and
Blue Shield of Georgia/Blue Cross Blue Shield Healthcare Plan of Georgia
(BCBSGA) (as applicable).
I have received a complete listing of
participating providers. I understand that the participation status of any
provider may change from time to time. It is my responsibility to verify that
my health care provider is participating with BCBSGA/BCBSHP prior to
receiving services. I may verify participation status via BCBSGA's Web site,
www.anthem.com which is updated at least every 30 days. I may also verify
status by contacting the customer service number listed on my member ID card.
As required by the State of Georgia
regulations, the following is a summary of the financial arrangements with
the health care providers who are participating in the BCBSGA/BCBSHP network:
