Sec. 1273.004.  LIMITED BENEFITS AND SERVICES;  COST-SHARING PROVISIONS.  Indemnity benefits and services provided under a point-of-service plan may be limited to those services described by the blended contract and may be subject to different cost-sharing provisions.  The cost-sharing provisions for indemnity benefits may be higher than the cost-sharing provisions for in-network health maintenance organization coverage.  For an enrollee in a limited provider network, higher cost-sharing may be imposed only when the enrollee obtains benefits or services outside the health maintenance organization delivery network.
