Benefits are payable at 80% for covered medical expenses for Physicians regardless of whether you choose to utilize the services of Preferred Providers through the DeKalb County HealthCare Purchasing Group or Beech Street, Inc. networks. However, if you choose a Preferred Provider, your bill will be discounted and this will decrease your Out-of-Pocket expenses (the amount you pay after insurance has made a benefit determination). Choosing a Preferred Provider may substantially reduce your health care costs.
