Nicole

Nicole's family is usually in good health. She doesn't smoke, and they get their annual physicals. They use in-network doctors and Preferred Medical and Wellness Providers when possible. They have a pretty smooth year.

Let's take a look…

Provider Billed Cost
All of the family members get their physicals and the kids get their immunizations.

$80 x 4 = $320
100% paid by the Company!

A few of them go to their primary care doctors for the flu. The kids also go to the doctor a few times for sinus infections and a few rashes that won't go away. Each trip includes a few generic 30-day prescriptions.

$100 visit x 8
$20 generic 30-day x 10

Provider Billed Cost
Nicole has a condition that's managed through medication, but it requires an expensive 90-day preferred brand drug to manage it. She fills it four times.

$340 preferred brand, 30-day x 4

Alex sees a specialist twice during his recovery from his injury.

$140 visit x 2
