Using Out-of-Network Providers
Members who elect to use an out-of-network provider must pay the provider in full at the time of service and submit a claim to Avēsis for reimbursement.
Reimbursement levels are in accordance with the out-of-network reimbursement schedule previously listed. Out-of-network benets are subject to
the same eligibility, availability, frequency of benets, and limitation and exclusion provisions of the plan, and are in lieu of services provided by a
participating Avēsis provider. Out-of-network claim forms can be obtained by contacting Avēsis’ Customer Service Center or your group administrator, or
by visiting www.avesis.com.
