Important Questions

Answers

What is the overall
deductible?

$500/Individual or $1,000/family

Are there services
covered before you meet
your deductible?

Yes. Preventive care and primary
care services are covered before
you meet your deductible.

Are there other
deductibles for specific
services?

Yes. $300 for prescription drug
coverage and $300 for
occupational therapy services.
For network providers $2,500
individual / $5,000 family; for outof-network providers $4,000
individual / $8,000 family
Copayments for certain services,
premiums, balance-billing
charges, and health care this plan
doesn’t cover.

What is the out-of-pocket
limit for this plan?
What is not included in
the out-of-pocket limit?

Will you pay less if you
use a network provider?

Yes. See www.[insert].com or call
1-800-[insert] for a list of network
providers.

Do you need a referral to
see a specialist?

Yes.

Why This Matters
Generally, you must pay all of the costs from providers up to the deductible amount before this
plan begins to pay. If you have other family members on the plan, each family member must
meet their own individual deductible until the total amount of deductible expenses paid by all
family members meets the overall family deductible.
This plan covers some items and services even if you haven’t yet met the deductible amount.
But a copayment or coinsurance may apply. For example, this plan covers certain preventive
services without cost-sharing and before you meet your deductible. See a list of covered
preventive services at https://www.healthcare.gov/coverage/preventive-care-benefits/.
You must pay all of the costs for these services up to the specific deductible amount before this
plan begins to pay for these services.
The out-of-pocket limit is the most you could pay in a year for covered services. If you have other
family members in this plan, they have to meet their own out-of-pocket limits until the overall
family out-of-pocket limit has been met.
Even though you pay these expenses, they don’t count toward the out–of–pocket limit.
This plan uses a provider network. You will pay less if you use a provider in the plan’s network.
You will pay the most if you use an out-of-network provider, and you might receive a bill from a
provider for the difference between the provider’s charge and what your plan pays (balance
billing). Be aware, your network provider might use an out-of-network provider for some services
(such as lab work). Check with your provider before you get services.
This plan will pay some or all of the costs to see a specialist for covered services but only if you
have a referral before you see the specialist.
