What You Need to Know

If you are covered by UC SHIP, you will need a referral from The Ashe Center or Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) to get care anywhere else — except for emergency room care, urgent care clinic visits, pediatric care, obstetrics services, gynecological care, Lyra Health, and LiveHealth Online virtual visits.

If needed, The Ashe Center will provide a referral for services it can’t provide.

What You Pay for Care

    You’ll pay nothing for preventive care at The Ashe Center, and low copays for other services and procedures. If needed, The Ashe Center will provide a referral for services it can’t provide.

    Except for preventive care, you will pay a deductible for services you receive outside The Ashe Center or the UC network of doctors and facilities, unless otherwise noted. After you meet the deductible, the plan will pay a portion of the cost. If you receive any care from an out-of-network provider, you will be responsible for your coinsurance plus any amount above the maximum allowable charges.

    You’ll always pay more when you receive care from providers who are not part of the UC SHIP or Anthem Blue Cross Prudent Buyer PPO networks.

    Based on where you receive care, here’s what you can expect to pay for typical health care services.

    Note: Office visit copays do not include what you’ll pay for other services, such as lab work and X-rays. For coverage details, including expenses and services the plan does not cover, see the UCLA Benefit Booklet [PDF].

    You Need a Referral for Care Outside The Ashe Center and CAPS

    If you are covered by UC SHIP, you will need a referral from The Ashe Center or CAPS to get care anywhere else — except for emergency room care, urgent care clinic visits, pediatric care, obstetrics services, gynecological care, Lyra Health, and LiveHealth Online virtual visits.
