Santa Ana Unified School District Chiropractic Benefits Additional coverage for your HMO Plans Blue Shield Chiropractic Care coverage lets you self-refer to a network of more than 4,000 licensed chiropractors. Benefits are provided through a contract with American Specialty Health Plans of California, Inc. (ASH Plans).
How the Program Works You can visit any participating chiropractor from the ASH Plans network without a referral from your HMO or POS Personal Physician. Simply call a participating provider to schedule an initial exam.
At the time of your first visit, you’ll present your Blue Shield identification card and pay only your copayment. Because participating chiropractors bill ASH Plans directly, you’ll never have to file claim forms.
If you need further treatment, the participating chiropractor will submit a proposed treatment plan to ASH Plans and obtain the necessary authorization from ASH Plans to continue treatment up to the calendar year maximum of 30 visits.
What’s Covered The plan covers medically necessary chiropractic services including:
Initial and subsequent examinations Office visits and adjustments (subject to annual limits) Adjunctive therapies X-rays (chiropractic only)
Benefit Plan Design
Calendar year Maximum 30 Visits
Calendar year Deductible None
Calendar year Chiropractic Appliances Benefit1,2 $50
Covered Services Member Copayment

1. Chiropractic appliances are covered up to a maximum of $50 in a calendar year as authorized by ASH Plans.
2. As authorized by ASH Plans, this allowance is applied toward the purchase of items determined necessary, such as supports, collars,
pillows, heel lifts, ice packs, cushions, orthotics, rib belts and home traction units.
Friendly Customer Service Helpful ASH Plans Member Services representatives are available at (800) 678-9133 Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. to answer questions, assist with problems, or help locate a participating chiropractor.

CARE OUTSIDE OF CALIFORNIA Benefits provided through the BlueCard® Program are paid at the participating level. Member's cost share will be either a copayment or coinsurance based on the lower of billed charges or the negotiated allowable amount for participating providers as agreed upon with the local Blue’s Plan.
Within US: BlueCard Program See Applicable Benefit See Applicable Benefit Outside of US: BlueCard Worldwide See Applicable Benefit See Applicable Benefit
OPTIONAL BENEFITS Optional dental, vision, infertility, and hearing aid benefits are available. If your employer purchased any of these benefits, a description of the benefit is provided separately.
1 Unless otherwise specified, copayments/coinsurance are calculated based on allowable amounts. After the calendar year medical deductible is met, the member is responsible for copayments/coinsurance for covered services from participating providers. Participating providers agree to accept Blue Shield's allowable amount plus any
applicable member copayment or coinsurance as full payment for covered services.
2 Non-participating providers can charge more than Blue Shield's allowable amounts. When members use non-participating providers, they must pay the applicable deductibles, copayments or coinsurance plus any amount that exceeds Blue Shield's allowable amount. Charges above the allowable amount do not count toward the
calendar year deductible or out-of-pocket maximum.
3 Preventive Health Services, including an annual preventive care or well-baby care office visit, are not subject to the calendar year medical deductible. Other covered non-preventive services received during, or in connection with, the preventive care or well-baby care office visit are subject to the calendar year medical deductible and
applicable member copayment/coinsurance.
4 The maximum allowed charges for non-emergency surgery and services performed in a non-participating ambulatory surgery center or outpatient unit of a non-participating hospital is $1,500 per day. Members are responsible for 40% of this $1,500 per day, and all charges in excess of $1,500 per day. Amounts that exceed the benefit
maximums do not count toward the calendar year out-of-pocket maximum and continue to be the member’s financial responsibility after the calendar year maximums are
reached.
5 Bariatric surgery is covered when prior authorized by Blue Shield; however, for members residing in Imperial, Kern, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Santa Barbara and Ventura counties (“Designated Counties”), bariatric surgery services are covered only when performed at designated contracting bariatric surgery
facilities and by designated contracting surgeons. Coverage is not available for bariatric services from any other participating provider and there is no coverage for bariatric
services from non-participating providers. In addition, if prior authorized by Blue Shield, a member in a Designated County who is required to travel more than 50 miles to a
designated bariatric surgery facility will be eligible for limited reimbursement for specified travel expenses for the member and one companion. Refer to the Evidence of
Coverage for further details.
6 The maximum allowed charges for non-emergency hospital services received from a non-participating hospital is $1,500 per day. Members are responsible for 40% of this $1,500 per day, and all charges in excess of $1,500 per day. Amounts that exceed the benefit maximum do not count toward the calendar year out-of-pocket maximum and
continue to be the member’s responsibility after the calendar year maximums are reached.
7 For plans with a calendar year medical deductible amount, services with a day or visit limit accrue to the calendar year day or visit limit maximum regardless of whether the plan calendar year medical deductible has been met.
8 Services may require prior authorization. When services are prior authorized, members pay the participating provider amount.
9 Mental health and substance use disorder services are accessed through Blue Shield's Mental Health Service Administrator (MHSA) - using MHSA participating and MHSA non-participating providers. Only mental health and substance use disorder services rendered by MHSA participating providers are administered by the MHSA. Mental
health and substance use disorder services rendered by non-MHSA participating providers are administered by Blue Shield.
10 Inpatient services for acute detoxification are covered under the medical benefit; see the Hospital Benefits (Facility Services) section of the Evidence of Coverage for benefit details. Services for acute medical detoxification are accessed through Blue Shield using Blue Shield's participating providers or non-participating providers.
11 Services from non-participating providers for home health care and hospice services are not covered unless prior authorized. When these services are prior authorized, the member’s copayment or coinsurance will be calculated at the participating provider level, based upon the agreed upon rate between Blue Shield and the agency.
Plan designs may be modified to ensure compliance with state and Federal requirements. A44629 (1/17) 20637 DC051017; 053117
