Is there full coverage for emergencies under the UK-EPO plan or is only a percentage of an emergency visit or hospitalization covered?
Under the UK-EPO plan, there is full coverage for emergencies or “urgent care” services received from an in-network or out-of-network facility. For example, if you have the UK-EPO plan and break your leg while on vacation, the emergency room visit and any immediately necessary treatment would be covered at the “in-network” level. However, if the doctor tells you to come back in three days for a follow-up visit, that follow-up visit would not be considered emergency or urgent care. You would have to come home for follow-up treatment (or find a participating network physician and facility).
