non-panel doctor


Explanation:
sollte gemäß folgendem link stimmen:

Panel Doctor: Requires members to use the services of a physician from the Participating Doctor List. When accessing services from a VisionCare Panel Doctor, exams and materials are provided on a paid-in-full basis (less deductible). There are no out-of-pocket expenses beyond the deductible, unless cosmetic options are selected.

Non-Panel Doctor: Allows members to visit a non-panel doctor. When accessing services from a non-panel doctor, the member pays the doctor's normal charges and is then reimbursed according to the VisionCare non-panel schedule.
