As benefits can vary by individual, you will need to select the name of the patient or individual you are inquiring about. Then, select a benefit from the product or service drop-down list and click ‘Search’.

In the example below, the member has chosen to look up their benefits for massage therapy. The plan member must pay a $30 deductible. Once paid, they are covered for $25 per visit to a maximum of $300, renewing every August 1. The plan member currently has their full dollar maximum available to them. This service requires a Physician’s Written Order (PWO) and must be provided by a registered massage therapist.
