It is your responsibility – as the INSURED – to follow the rules and guidelines outlined by your specific insurance policy. It is your responsibility to understand what your financial responsibility will be (i.e., deductibles, co-insurance, and co-payments) as well as what your coverage limitations are (i.e., covered vs. non-covered benefits, required referrals, pre-authorizations, etc.). You can find this information on your insurance company’s website, or you may obtain this information from your employer.
