Guaranteed Acceptance Plan – Sonata Health

If you’re looking for a plan that provides well-rounded coverage for all of your essential needs, or if your health prevents you from qualifying for Sonata Health’s Scales 1 to 4, our Guaranteed Acceptance Plan (GAP) may be right for you.

Because acceptance is guaranteed with GAP, you’re eligible even if your health situation prevents you from qualifying for more enhanced coverage. And you don’t need to have had any prior coverage.

Note: The ability to customize your coverage with optional benefits is not available with this plan. Instead, some of the additional benefits we offer are already included as standard coverage under the GAP plan.

GAP provides coverage for the following benefits and benefit levels.

Prescription drugs

Drugs that require a prescription by law are covered at:

• 70% reimbursement¹ for both generic and brand name prescriptions²
• $300 per person annual maximum
• $5 maximum dispensing fee per prescription

¹Reimbursement: refers to reimbursement for eligible expenses.

²Generic and brand name prescriptions: the plan pays for the lower cost alternative drug, unless the physician has directed that a particular brand name prescription drug not be interchanged.

³Waiting period: A 3-month waiting period applies to dentalcare services and supplies. This means no benefits are payable for dentalcare services and supplies expenses incurred during the period starting on your policy's effective date and ending on the last day of the third month following your policy's effective date.

Benefits payable for certain health and dental services and supplies are subject to a limitation. A limitation may apply to a dollar amount which is payable under the policy or the frequency for which benefits will be payable.
