Important Questions

Answers

Why This Matters:

What is the overall deductible?

$

Generally, you must pay all of the costs from providers up to the deductible amount before this plan begins to pay. [For family coverage, see instructions for additional applicable language.]

Are there services covered before you meet your deductible?

Yes. [Insert: major categories]

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 non-grandfathered plans, insert: "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/."]

Are there other deductibles for specific services?

Yes. $

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.

What is the out-of-pocket limit for this plan?

$

The out-of-pocket limit is the most you could pay in a year for covered services. [For family coverage, see instructions for additional applicable language.]

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

[Insert: major exceptions]

Even though you pay these expenses, they don’t count toward 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.

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.

Do you need a referral to see a specialist?

Yes.

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.
