Your medical benefits

This short list of benefits applies to behavioral and mental health conditions and is specific to each plan. Please select your plan to see your benefits with their copayments (listed as a dollar amount), coinsurance (your share of the cost listed as a percentage of the provider’s total charge), and what services are covered under each benefit. For a complete list of your medical benefits, log in to www.dmba.com. Navigate to My Plans and under Summary Plan Descriptions (Handbooks) select your plan.

To be a covered service, the healthcare you receive must be medically necessary, meet the plan’s guidelines and medical criteria, and be provided by a licensed practitioner of the healing arts. All benefits are subject to the allowable amounts determined by DMBA.

We have made every effort to accurately describe the benefits and ensure that information given to you is consistent with other benefit-related communications. However, if there is any discrepancy or conflict between information in this document and other plan materials, the terms outlined in the plan document will govern.
