Urgently needed services are provided to treat a nonemergency, unforeseen medical illness, injury, or condition that requires immediate medical care but, given the circumstances, may not be possible, or is unreasonable, to obtain services from in-network providers.
Examples of urgently needed services that the plan must cover out of network are:
Immediate care is needed on the weekend
The member is temporarily outside the service area of the plan
Services must be immediately needed and medically necessary. If it is unreasonable given the circumstances to immediately obtain medical care from an in-network provider then the plan will cover the urgently needed services from a provider out-of-network.
