Generally, you must pay all of the costs from s 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 don t have to meet deductibles for specific 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 network. You will pay less if you use a in the plan s network. You will pay the most if you use an out-of-network, and you might receive a bill from a for the difference between the s charge and what your plan pays (balance billing). Be aware your network might use an out-ofnetwork for some services (such as lab work). Check with your before you get services. Some of the services this plan doesn t cover are listed on page 5.
