MEDICAL BILL SAVER

  1. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES: The Medical Bill Saver program (“MBS”) is an extension of the Health Advocate’s Services as described in the Description of Services Section of the Plan Sponsor Agreement to which this Exhibit is attached. Health Advocate will make MBS available to Client for use by Members as this term is defined in Section 1 of the Plan Sponsor Agreement. MBS consists of the following features:
    • Access by Members – Members access MBS by calling Health Advocate’s toll free number – 877-240-6863.
    • Specialized Negotiation Unit – Members are given access to a Specialized Negotiation Unit (“SNU”). If you get a bill for a medical service including, but not limited to bills from physicians, hospitals, surgery centers, radiology and other diagnostic service providers, and/or various ancillary medical providers (“Providers”) that has a remaining balance of $400 or more (or more than one bill from the same provider or facility with remaining balances that together total $400 or more) that is/are not covered by your insurance plan, our SNU will contact the Provider or facility and attempt to have your bill reduced. The SNU will attempt to negotiate any Provider bills regardless of insurance or benefit status (e.g., insured, underinsured, non-covered service, out-of-network service). In addition, the SNU will attempt to negotiate Provider discounts and/or payment terms prior to a Member receiving care, (e.g., non-covered services and out-of-network care). This Service does not apply to amounts you owe due to the co-payment, deductible or coinsurance provisions of your health insurance plan.
    • Fee Benchmarking Databases – The SNU will consult with various public and proprietary databases and reference tools in order to optimize savings to Members.
    • Provider Acceptance – Health Advocate will secure a written release from the provider accepting the terms and conditions negotiated on the Member’s behalf.
    • Savings Result Statement – Health Advocate will provide each Member with a written statement summarizing the outcome of the negotiation with a provider and outlining any applicable terms and conditions of the required payment due to the provider. The Member shall be financially responsible for making payment in accordance with the terms and conditions outlined in the written statement. The Member will be advised that in the event he/she does not adhere to such terms and conditions, the provider is not obliged to accept less than what the provider originally billed the Member.
  2. MEMBER FEES: Whenever Health Advocate is able to negotiate a reduction in the amount owed to Providers by Members, Members are responsible for payment to Health Advocate of a fee. The fee payable to Health Advocate is twenty five percent (25%) of the amount of the discount obtained by Health Advocate on the Member’s behalf. Therefore, the total savings by the Member is the negotiated savings to the Eligible Member less 25% of that amount.
  3. EMPLOYEE COMMUNICATIONS: Health Advocate will provide Client with MBS communication materials designed to promote awareness and utilization by Subscribers. If desired, Health Advocate can customize its MBS communications to coordinate with and enhance a Group’s benefit strategy (e.g., Consumer Driven Health Plans (“CDHP”), Health Savings Account (“HAS”) plan offerings, etc.). Client will assume cost of any non-standard materials.
  4. REPORTING:
    • Annual management report with aggregate program activity will be provided.
    • More frequent and/or robust reporting is available upon request, the terms and conditions of which shall be mutually agreed to by Client and Health Advocate.
  5. TERMS AND CONDITIONS: Health Advocate will make commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate savings on behalf of Members. Health Advocate does not make any promise or guarantees regarding the outcome of such negotiations.
