Standard Option
The ultimate in choice, Standard Option allows you to receive services from Preferred and Non-preferred providers.
With a network of more than 400,000 doctors, dentists, hospitals and pharmacies worldwide, we make it easy for you to select one of our Preferred providers. But if your current doctor is not one of our Preferred providers, no problem. Standard Option gives you the freedom to use any doctor, or physician assistant. Most care is covered at 85 percent PPA (preferred provider allowance) and you pay only $20 for office visits. You'll also receive 80 percent on generic and 70 percent on name brand prescription drug coverage at Preferred retail pharmacies. The affinity drug program will provide you discounts on some prescription drugs without additional premiums. And if you have your prescriptions filled by mail order, you pay only a $10 copay for generics and a $65copay for name brands.
Having informed members is important to us. To learn more about your choices, refer to 2008 Service Benefit Plan Brochure under the Standard Option, found at http://www.fepblue.org/.
