Your health insurance plan doesn't pay for certain services. These services may include those provided by providers outside of the network, those that are not medically necessary, or medications that are not listed on the formulary. An uncovered value is an SEC designation which means that the cost base of small, limited-scope securities cannot be reported to the IRS. The adjusted cost base for uncovered values is only reported to the taxpayer and not to the IRS. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) states that any item or service supplied by a person or entity excluded by the Office of the Inspector General from participating in all federal health care programs is not covered under Section 1862 (e) of the Social Security Act.
For instance, if a necessary medical consultation is done at the same time as a preventive medicine consultation, you can bill for the uncovered preventive visit (excluded), but you must subtract the charge for the covered service from the charge for the uncovered service. In general, non-covered services are those that are not included in your health insurance plan. It is important to understand what services are covered and what services are not covered in order to make sure you are getting the most out of your health insurance plan. Knowing what is and isn't covered can help you make informed decisions about your healthcare and save money in the long run.
