Fixed Benefit Medical Insurance Can Provide Security When You Need it Most
Fixed benefit medical insurance plans provide coverage in times of need. These health insurance plans can stand on their own or pair with another major medical or Medicare plan to give financial protection in the case of an unexpected injury or illness.
Anchor Plans Key Features:
o Benefits for wellness care, doctor visits, hospital and surgical services
o Plans pay a fixed dollar amount to help cover out-of-pocket healthcare expenses
o Increased hospital confinement benefit after calendar year 1 for Select and Maximum plans
o No restrictions for network or specialist referrals
o Accidental death benefit
⚓The Anchor plan pays the fixed dollar amount for each type of healthcare service per calendar year as shown in the table below. The amount you receive for medical services is the same of where you receive care or how much the provider charges.
Benefits
*Hospital Confinement benefit increase on a calendar year basis starting in January after year 1 for Select and Maximum plans.
*Resource Based Relative Value Scale (RBRVS) is the physician payment system used by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS) and most other payers. The RBRVS is based on the principle that payments for physician services should vary with the resource costs for providing those services and is intended to improve and stabilize the payment system while providing physicians an avenue to continuously improve it.
In the states of Louisiana, Michigan, and New Mexico, RBRVS is not available. A fixed amount is paid for surgery (inpatient and outpatient) based on the plan type. Value pays $1000, Select pays $1250 and Maximum pays $1500.

Fixed Benefit Medical Scenario
Meet Ryan
Six months ago, Ryan purchased an Anchor Select fixed benefit medical plan. He was looking for a plan that would cover common medical care such as doctor visits and prescriptions, but also to give him coverage in the case of an unfortunate circumstance. Recently, Ryan was dining on the outdoor patio of his home. He stepped away from the table for a moment and slipped on a wet spot of the deck. Ryan noticed a sharp pain in his left knee shortly after the fall. Remembering that his Anchor plan included telemedicine, he decided to contact a medical doctor via video chat. He was advised to seek medical attention right away. He immediately pulled up the Point Health mobile application and reached a Patient Advocate. Through the help of Point Health patient advocacy services, he was able to receive a cost estimate for a local facility. Hesitant to drive, he called for an ambulance. Shortly after, Ryan was escorted to the hospital.
