Copayments are fixed dollar amounts (for example, $15) you pay for covered health care, usually when you receive the service. G
Coinsurance 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
plans allowed amount for an overnight hospital stay is $1,000, your coinsurance payment of 20% would be $200. This may change if you
havent met your deductible.
G
The amount the plan pays for covered services is based on the allowed amount. If an out-of-network provider charges more than the
allowed amount, you may have to pay the difference. For example, if an out-of-network hospital charges $1,500 for an overnight stay and the
allowed amount is $1,000, you may have to pay the $500 difference. (This is called balance billing.)
G
This plan may encourage you to use participating providers by charging you lower deductibles, copayments and coinsurance amounts. G

These examples show how this plan might
cover medical care in given situations. Use
these examples to see, in general, how much
financial protection a sample patient might
get if they are covered under different plans.
This is not
a cost
estimator.
Dont use these examples to
estimate your actual costs under
this plan. The actual care you
receive will be different from
these examples, and the cost of
that care will also be different.

information about these
examples.

Questions and answers about the Coverage Examples:
What are some of the
assumptions behind the
Coverage Examples?
Costs dont include premiums. G
Sample care costs are based on national
averages supplied by the U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services, and arent specific to a
particular geographic area or health plan.
G
The patients condition was not an
excluded or preexisting condition.
G
All services and treatments started and
ended in the same coverage period.
G
There are no other medical expenses for
any member covered under this plan.
G
Out-of-pocket expenses are based only
on treating the condition in the example.
G
The patient received all care from in-
network providers. If the patient had
received care from out-of-network
providers, costs would have been
higher.
G
What does a Coverage Example
show?
For each treatment situation, the Coverage Example
helps you see how deductibles, copayments, and
coinsurance can add up. It also helps you see what
expenses might be left up to you to pay because the
service or treatment isnt 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 doctors advice, your age,
how serious your condition is, and many other
factors.
