The hospital emergency room is not the best place to seek routine health care. We encourage everyone to establish a relationship with a doctor before you need care and to schedule regular preventive visits. Your family physician is most qualified to provide you and your family with personalized health and wellness care. As a reminder, the CGF group health plan now includes a telemedicine service called Doctor on Demand and NurseLine, a toll-free hotline where you can speak with a nurse any day, all day, every day of the year. The toll-free number is located on your identification card.

Claims are typically processed within 30 days. Occasionally claims are delayed for more insurance information, physician records, or other reasons. Please contact us to research the status of any pending medical claims. Claims status is also available on the HealthView site.

The Explanation of Benefits (EOB) statement confirms that WGAT received your medical claim, and how that claim was processed. The EOB should match any invoices you receive from your medical care provider. Please contact us if there are discrepancies or if you have other questions about this statement. We always suggest keeping your statements on file in case you need it in the future. You may also receive EOBs via email by registering on HealthView.

Prescription drugs may be available at four different price points:

1. Generic drugs typically cost the least and are prescribed the most.
2. Name Brand drugs are more expensive and your co-pay will be higher. If there is no generic medication available, your doctor may prescribe a brand-name medicine to treat a condition.
3. Non-Formulary Drugs are particular medicines that are not approved under your medical plan. Non-Formulary prescriptions tend to have higher copayments.
4. Specialty drugs are for the specific treatment of certain debilitating and life-threatening conditions. Patients must receive authorization from Acaria Health Specialty Pharmacy (link) before specialty medication can be dispensed. A copayment based on a percentage of the drug cost is required for specialty medications.

If you are prescribed regular medication(s), our convenient mail order program makes it easy to get refills. By using mail order, nyou can receive a 90 day supply of prescription drugs delivered to your home address. Save a trip to the pharmacy, and save money on nyour Rx co-pay!
