MMC Benefits Handbook
Detailed List of Covered Services
The Plan reimburses medically necessary covered services and supplies for the diagnosis and treatment for an illness or injury. The Claims Administrator determines whether the service or supply is covered and determines the amount to be reimbursed.
Most services and supplies are subject to a copay. The copays will vary based on the covered service, the provider and whether the provider is in-network. For additional coverage information, go to Benefits.Surest.com, the Surest mobile app or call Surest Member Services at +1 866 683 6440.
Your costs for out-of-network services apply toward the in-network out-of-pocket maximum. However, your costs for in-network services do not apply toward the out-of-network out-of-pocket maximum.

3 A mandatory program, the PrudentRx prescription drug program, will apply for eligible specialty medications for complex conditions on the PrudentRx Drug List. If you do not speak with PrudentRx, do not enroll in any copay assistance as required by a manufacturer, or do not choose to participate in the PrudentRx program, i.e. opt out, you'll be responsible for paying up to 30% coinsurance cost for each specialty prescription medication, and the costs will NOT count towards either out-of-pocket maximum. The PrudentRx Drug List is available at www.caremark.com. For drugs not on the PrudentRx Drug List, standard mail order copays will apply. For more information, refer to "Are there mandatory discount or copay assistance programs applicable for specialty prescription drugs? and "Prescription Drug Programs."
