This presentation provides only highlights of your benefits. It is not a contract. It does not change the terms of your benefit plans or the official documents that control them. Consult the individual plan booklets for specific details of benefit coverage. To permit a brief summary of benefits and services, use of actual contract language has been minimized. This summary comparison does not replace the legal documents that establish the plans. Final interpretation of any provision of the plans will be governed by the master policies and service agreements, which are on file in the office of the plan administrator. Caltech reserves the right to change, suspend or terminate its benefits programs, in whole or in part, at any time and for any reason.

Choice of doctors and hospitals
(you pay less if you use in-network providers)
Preventive care is covered at 100%
(as long as you use in-network doctors and facilities)
You pay 100% of the cost of your non-preventive care until you meet the annual
deductible
Then you pay 20% of cost (in-network) and 40% (out of
network)
Prescriptions (RX)
Preventive RX is covered for a copay

• Choose your provider carefully!
• Use an in-network provider to ensure you receive the lowest
possible negotiated rates for services.

medical facility, you are responsible for paying the difference
between the covered or allowable charges and the billed
charges

• Anthem Concierge – on Lab and on Campus
• Grand Rounds can help you find an doctor in-network
• Anthem.com/ca/Caltech - Find a Doctor

Center if you need any of the following procedures:
