You must pay all the costs up to the deductible amount before this pl begins to pay for covered services you use. Check your policy or pl document to see when the deductible starts over (usually, but not always, Juary 1st). See the chart starting on page 2 for how much you pay for covered services after you meet the deductible. You don t have to meet deductibles for specific services, but see the chart starting on page 2 for other costs for services this pl covers. The out-of-pocket limit is the most you could pay during a coverage period (usually one year) for your share of the cost of covered services. This limit helps you pl for health care expenses. Even though you pay these expenses, they don t count toward the out of pocket limit. The chart starting on page 2 describes y limits on what the pl will pay for specific covered services, such as office visits. If you use in-network doctor or other health care provider, this pl will pay some or all of the costs of covered services. Be aware, your in-network doctor or hospital may use out-of-network provider for some services. Pls use the term in-network, preferred, or participating for providers in their network. See the chart starting on page 2 for how this pl pays different kinds of providers. This pl will pay some or all of the costs to see a specialist for covered services but only if you have the pl s permission before you see the specialist. Some of the services this pl doesn t cover are listed on page 5. See your policy or pl document for additional information about excluded services. 1 of 88
Copayments are fixed dollar amounts (for example, $15) you pay for covered health care, usually when you receive the service. Coinsurce is your share of the costs of a covered service, calculated as a percent of the allowed amount for the service. For example, if the pl s allowed amount for overnight hospital stay is $1,000, your coinsurce payment of 20% would be $200. This may chge if you haven t met your deductible. The amount the pl pays for covered services is based on the allowed amount. If out-of-network provider charges more th the allowed amount, you may have to pay the difference. For example, if out-of-network hospital charges $1,500 for overnight stay d the allowed amount is $1,000, you may have to pay the $500 difference. (This is called balce billing.) This pl may encourage you to use In-Network providers by charging you lower deductibles, copayments d coinsurce amounts.

Does this Coverage Provide Minimum Essential Coverage? The Affordable Care Act requires most people to have health care coverage that qualifies as minimum essential coverage. This pl or policy does provide minimum essential coverage. Does this Coverage Meet the Minimum Value Stdard? The Affordable Care Act establishes a minimum value stdard of benefits of a health pl. The minimum value stdard is 60% (actuarial value). This health coverage does meet the minimum value stdard for the benefits it provides.

About these Coverage Examples: These examples show how this pl might cover medical care in given situations. Use these examples to see, in general, how much fincial protection a sample patient might get if they are covered under different pls. This is not a cost estimator. Don t use these examples to estimate your actual costs under this pl. The actual care you receive will be different from these examples, d the cost of that care will also be different. See the next page for importt information about these examples.

Questions d swers about the Coverage Examples: What are some of the assumptions behind the Coverage Examples? Costs don t include premiums. Sample care costs are based on national averages supplied by the U.S. Department of Health d Hum Services, d aren t specific to a particular geographic area or health pl. The patient s condition was not excluded or preexisting condition. All services d treatments started d ended in the same coverage period. There are no other medical expenses for y member covered under this pl. Out-of-pocket expenses are based only on treating the condition in the example. The patient received all care from innetwork providers. If the patient had received care from out-of-network providers, costs would have been higher. What does a Coverage Example show? For each treatment situation, the Coverage Example helps you see how deductibles, copayments, d coinsurce c add up. It also helps you see what expenses might be left up to you to pay because the service or treatment isn t covered or payment is limited. Does the Coverage Example predict my own care needs? No. Treatments shown are just examples. The care you would receive for this condition could be different based on your doctor s advice, your age, how serious your condition is, d my other factors. Does the Coverage Example predict my future expenses? No. Coverage Examples are not cost estimators. You c t use the examples to estimate costs for actual condition. They are for comparative purposes only. Your own costs will be different depending on the care you receive, the prices your providers charge, d the reimbursement your health pl allows. C I use Coverage Examples to compare pls? Yes. When you look at the Summary of Benefits d Coverage for other pls, you ll find the same Coverage Examples. When you compare pls, check the Patient Pays box in each example. The smaller that number, the more coverage the pl provides. Are there other costs I should consider when comparing pls? Yes. An importt cost is the premium you pay. Generally, the lower your premium, the more you ll pay in out-ofpocket costs, such as copayments, deductibles, d coinsurce. You should also consider contributions to accounts such as health savings accounts (HSAs), flexible spending arrgements (FSAs) or health reimbursement accounts (HRAs) that help you pay out-of-pocket expenses. 8 of 88
