Frequently Asked Questions
Unpaid medical bills can create financial hardship for almost every family. Bankruptcy, depleted savings and loss of real estate are a few risks directly associated with medical plans that have high out of pocket exposure. Secondary coverage can eliminate or reduce that risk significantly. When you combine Pre-Med Defender to your HealthChoice Basic plan, you virtually eliminate your deductibles and coinsurance.
Since the PRE-MED DEFENDER coverage is a “true SECONDARY plan” to an existing Major Medical plan; we follow the same guidelines as your Primary Medical plan. So, if something is not covered or allowed by your Primary plan; then PRE-MED DEFENDER will not cover it as well. We also follow the waiting period and eligibility requirements of the in force medical plan.
No. PRE-MED DEFENDER does not cover prescription drugs. Prescriptions are covered under your primary HealthChoice Basic medical plan. Please refer to your 2024 Employee Benefits Guide for additional plan details.
For eligibility or claims assistance, call the customer service phone number located on the back of your Pre-Med Defender ID card.

With our PRE MED DEFENDER plan; participants and providers will understand that there are two forms of coverage and there are two different payer ID’s.
1. Primary care or major medical plan (Card One) and
2. PRE-MED DEFENDER Supplemental Plan (Card Two – “Secondary Coverage”).
Therefore, healthcare providers and or facilities should automatically send Primary Coverage claims information electronically for processing. Once that process has taken place and your initial claim is accepted and processed; our job is to make sure your provider has the information they need to make sure your “secondary benefits”; or PRE MED DEFENDER benefits are paid as well.
We have set up an electronic payer ID for your provider to file the claim electronically; let your Provider file the claim for the Major Medical plan (Primary) and your PRE MED DEFENDER plan (Secondary).
You will need to provide your primary medical card as well as the PRE MED DEFENDER card to the provider. Most providers will file the claim electronically because it is easy and they get paid faster. A claim contact phone number is printed on the ID card along with the claim’s payer information for the provider. If needed, our customer service staff can and will send a letter to each provider explaining how to file claims.
PRE MED DEFENDER will pay the applicable benefit percentage for the Covered Expenses up to the Coverage Year maximum. The Covered Person must be under a Doctor’s care, and the treatment must be for covered Injury or Sickness after the secondary deductible (If applicable) has been met.
Covered Expenses are the unpaid portion of charges for medical care, treatment and services that are eligible for reimbursement under and deemed allowable by the Policyholder’s other Health Benefit Plan, which are not excluded from coverage under the policy.
Yes. You must re-enroll in Pre-Med Defender during each annual enrollment period.
