Information supplied by your providers will help you understand your condition and plans for care.
You have the responsibility to read the information we give you and ask questions when you need to know more.
We urge you to read all the materials we give you and keep them for future reference. You should know your benefits and responsibilities under your plan and ask us if you don't understand them.
