Outline
Connected shares the costs of standard screening services without the member needing to meet their IUA.
Services
Connected provides sharing for the following services:
An annual provider visit, which may include a primary care office visit, sick visit, specialist vision, urgent care visit, or other related service.
An annual preventive mammogram for women age 35-65, or high-risk women age 30-65. The exam, appointment, and evaluation of imaging are shared at 100% up to a maximum of $600. Diagnostic mammograms are not shareable as a preventive service but may be eligible as part of a related need after meeting the IUA.
A preventive colonoscopy every 10 years for men age 45 and older. A screening colonoscopy and the related anesthesia are shared at 100%. Diagnostic testing, including biopsies and pathology performed as part of the screen, are also shared. Any separate appointment or visit fees are not considered shareable as part of the colonoscopy service.
Select immunizations for children ages 0-16, based on the guidelines set forth by the CDC. Appointment or visit feels are not shareable as part of the preventive immunizations.
Waiting Periods
The annual provider visit is available immediately upon enrollment. There is a six-month waiting period before mammograms, colonoscopies, and immunizations are shareable.
