for More than 30 Years

4 | 2018 State of Wisconsin Group Health Insurance Program5-Star Quality Rating from Employee Trust Fund!
5
Dean Health Plan is proud to have earned Employee Trust Fund’s 5-Star
quality rating. We are always striving to find better ways of serving you.
Care Management
While you should always start with your primary care provider for non-
emergency care, sometimes you might need additional help navigating
through the health care system. That’s where the Dean Health Plan
Care Management team comes in. If you’re diagnosed with a chronic
health condition or have a complex health care need, we can help guide
you to the most appropriate method of care and ensure your needs are
met and your questions and concerns are addressed. Learn more about
Care Management at deancare.com/caremanagement.
Prevention Focused
It’s easy to get well and stay well with Dean Health Plan. We
emphasize a proactive, preventive approach to care — one in which
a primary care provider (PCP) oversees all aspects of your health
care needs and keeps you well through regular visits. These visits
are a good time to receive needed immunizations or health and
cancer screenings.
Accredited by National Committee for
Quality Assurance
Accreditation is by the National Committee for Quality Assurance
(NCQA). NCQA is an independent, not-for-profit organization that
evaluates health plans based on more than 50 standards of care and
service to determine health plan accreditation.

and the “Summary of Benefits and Coverage” documents from Dean Health Plan specifically outline the
benefits, services, exclusions and limitations under your policy. The same Guide is issued for each of the
many State of Wisconsin Group Health Insurance Program plans, but the Summary reflects Dean Health
Plan’s specific benefits, so be sure to read both. Visit deancare.com/wi-employees to access them online.
Please also see etf.wi.gov for more information.
Choose a Primary Care Provider
Choose a primary care provider (PCP) who is right for you. Go online or call our Customer Care Center

records sent over from your previous clinic. Simply fill out an “Authorization to Release Protected Health
Information” form, available at deancare.com/members under Member Forms, and give it to your previous

Hospitals You Can Trust

exceptional patient experience. SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital – Madison is

World Report; it was also named a Best Regional Hospital, a status earned by just
10 percent of the nearly 5,000 hospitals evaluated. SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital –
Janesville achieved the most improved door-to-imaging time for stroke patients in
the first quarter of 2017 among all 46 state hospitals participating in the Wisconsin
Coverdell Stroke Program. SSM Health St. Clare Hospital – Baraboo was one of only
six hospitals nationally to receive the Premier QUEST award for high-value health

Claims and Payment
Filing Claims
Time is valuable to all of us; that’s why Dean Health Plan minimizes the amount of paperwork required
for our members. In most cases, claims are submitted directly to Dean Health Plan by providers or clinic
staff. On occasion, if you’re traveling out of the area or have a college-age dependent, for example, it may
be necessary for you to submit a claim for reimbursement. When submitting the claim, please be sure to
follow these guidelines:
1. Send an itemized bill from the provider of services. If services were received outside of the
United States, you will need to submit the original bill along with an itemized bill that has been
translated into English and indicate the appropriate currency exchange rate at the time the
services were received.
2. Send the bill within 60 days of receiving the services to:
Dean Health Plan
Attn: Claims Department
P.O. Box 56099
Madison, WI 53705
If you have another insurance company that is the primary payer, you will need to send the Explanation of
Benefits (described below) to Dean Health Plan or to your health care provider.
Explanation of Benefits (EOB)
The EOB contains important information including the total amount charged, the amount paid by Dean
Health Plan, and the amount that is your (the member’s) responsibility. You may access all of your EOBs
online at any time through your DeanConnect account, accessible at deancare.com/wi-employees.
Remember, an EOB is not a bill.
deancare.com | 9Getting the
Right Care
URGENT
PRIMARY CARE EMERGENCY
CARE CARE
You may be wondering why we stress the importance of selecting a primary care provider (or location)
within the Dean Health Plan network as you enroll. It’s because we emphasize a proactive, preventive
approach to care—one in which a primary care provider oversees all aspects your health care needs. This
keeps you and your family well and decreases the duplication of services. Your primary care provider
should be your first choice for care whenever possible. But know that when a more immediate need arises,
you do have other options.
If you’re unsure where to get care, call Dean On Call, our 24-hour nurse hotline for help. See page 3 for
more information about Dean On Call. Making the right choice when it comes to the care you need ensures
you receive the right care in the right place without unnecessary costs.
Urgent and Emergency Care
If immediate care is needed, visit urgent care. Urgent care is designed to treat medical problems that
require attention sooner than a regular office visit, but are not serious enough to warrant a visit to an
emergency department. Urgent care sites are also generally open on evenings and weekends.
For critical illness or injury, seek emergency care. Though urgent care centers are convenient and a
good option for some illnesses and injuries, more serious symptoms need immediate care at an emergency
department. Dial 911 if you think a health problem is life threatening or could worsen on the way to
the hospital.
Out-of-Area Care
With Dean Health Plan, there’s no need to worry about health insurance while on vacation. Both urgent
and emergency care are covered by Dean Health Plan if you or your covered family member are unable
to return to the service area for immediate treatment. It’s also a good idea to familiarize yourself with the
types of ailments that can be treated as urgent care vs. emergency care. Visit deancare.com/rightcare
for details.
10 | 2018 State of Wisconsin Group Health Insurance ProgramBehind the Scenes at Dean
Ways we’re helping you get the right care
Prior Authorization
As you navigate your health care, it’s important to note that there are certain medical services or provider
visits that will require prior authorization by Dean Health Plan. These authorizations are required so our
Medical Affairs team can make sure you are getting the appropriate care. A good rule to remember
is that any time you seek services with an out-of-network provider, you will need to obtain a prior
authorization.
Utilization Management
When you need to discuss issues or have questions related to the requirement of an authorization for a
particular service, Dean Health Plan is here to help. Contact the Customer Care Center at 800-279-1301
(TTY: 711), and you will be connected to the Utilization Management department. This department ensures
you receive the appropriate and necessary care for your condition.
Utilization Management staff members are available Monday through Friday, 8 am to 4:30 pm. If you have an
urgent need outside of those hours, please leave a message with the Customer Care Center and your call will
be returned within one business day.
New Medical Technology
Every year Dean Health Plan evaluates new medical technology and reviews existing technology to
determine if any changes or updates are needed to guidelines outlining appropriate use. During this
process, we review requests for ongoing care or treatment recommendations for all utilization management
decisions, including medical, behavioral health care, pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Dean Health Plan
follows the review process set by the National Commission for Quality Assurance (NCQA). Based upon the
results of the technology assessment, we will draft or revise medical policies if necessary.
For help to translate or understand this information, please call 800-279-1301 (TTY: 711).
deancare.com | 11Common Insurance Terms Allowed amount: The maximum amount on which payment is based for a health plan’s covered health care services. Annual maximum out-of-pocket: The maximum amount a member could pay out-of-pocket for covered health care services in a plan year before the plan would pay 100 percent of the cost of covered services. The maximum does not include premium payments. Benefit maximum: A benefit maximum is a limit on a covered service. A service may be limited by duration or number of visits – and if not an Essential Health Benefit, by dollar limit. To review your benefit maximums please refer to your member policy document. Coinsurance: Your share of the costs of a covered health care service, calculated as a percent of the allowed amount for the service. You pay coinsurance plus any deductibles you owe first. For example, if Dean Health Plan’s allowed amount for an office visit is $100 and you’ve met your deductible, your coinsurance payment of 20% would be $20. Dean Health Plan pays the rest of the allowed amount. Copay: A fixed amount that you pay for a covered health care service, usually when you get the service. The amount can vary by the type of covered health care service. Deductible: The amount you owe for covered services before the plan begins to pay. For example, if your deductible is $1,000, Dean Health Plan won’t pay anything for covered services subject to the deductible until you’ve met your $1,000. Not all services are subject to the deductible, such as preventive services. Essential Health Benefits (EHB): Essential Health Benefits consist of 10 health care benefit categories. Plans that cover EHB may put an annual or lifetime dollar limit on the amount of EHB. Formulary: A list of prescription drugs covered by an insurance plan offering prescription drug benefits. Also called a drug list. Normally a formulary will also tell you what tier (or cost-sharing level) a particular drug will be in. Guaranteed issue: A requirement that health plans must allow you to enroll for coverage regardless of health status, age, gender or any other factors that might predict the future use of health services. Health Savings Account (HSA): A medical savings account available to taxpayers who are enrolled in a High Deductible Health Plan. The funds contributed to the account aren’t subject to federal income tax at the time of deposit. Funds must be used to pay for qualified medical expenses. Unlike a Flexible Spending Account (FSA), funds roll over year to year if you don’t spend them. Individual mandate: All individuals, with certain exceptions, are required to maintain minimum essential health coverage under the Affordable Care Act provisions. In-network providers: Refers to physicians, hospitals or other health care providers who are contracted with Dean Health Plan. Out-of-network providers: Refers to physicians, hospitals or other health care providers who are not contracted with Dean Health Plan, which could result in a greater cost for services for you. Pre-existing condition: A health problem you had before the date that new health coverage starts. Under the Affordable Care Act, insurers may no longer impose benefit limitations or exclusions due to a pre- existing condition. Preventive care: Routine health care that includes screenings, check-ups and patient counseling to prevent illnesses, disease or other health problems. Prior authorization: Approval from a health plan that may be required before you receive services or fill a prescription in order for the service or prescription to be covered by your plan. 12 | 2018 State of Wisconsin Group Health Insurance Program
