Why this Matters:

You must pay all the costs up to the deductible amount before this
plan begins to pay for covered services you use. Check your policy or
plan document to see when the deductible starts over (usually, but
not always, January 1st). See the chart starting on page 2 for how
much you pay for covered services after you meet the deductible.
You must pay all the costs up to the deductible amount before this
plan begins to pay for covered medications. Generic medications are
not subject to the pharmacy deductible.
The out-of-pocket limit is the most you could pay during a calendar
year for your share of the cost of covered services. This limit helps
you plan for health care expenses.
Even though you pay these expenses, they dont count toward the
out-of-pocket limit.
The chart starting on page 2 describes specific coverage limits, such
as limits on the number of office visits.
If you use a network doctor or other health care provider, this plan
will pay some or all of the costs of covered services. Be aware, your
network doctor or hospital may use a non-network provider for
some services. Plans use the term network, preferred, or
participating for providers in their network. See the chart starting
on page 2 for how this plan pays different kinds of providers.
You can see the specialist you choose without permission from this
plan.

Summary of Benefits and Coverage: What this Plan Covers & What it Costs

Coverage Period: 01/01/2015-12/31/2015

Coverage for: Employee/Family | Plan Type: PS1

Copayments are fixed dollar amounts (for example, $15) you pay for covered health care, usually when you receive the service.
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.
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.)
This plan may encourage you to use network providers by charging you lower deductibles, copayments and coinsurance 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 plan or policy does
provide minimum essential coverage.

Does this Coverage Meet the Minimum Value Standard?

The Affordable Care Act establishes a minimum value standard of benefits of a health plan. The minimum value standard is 60% (actuarial value). This
health coverage does meet the minimum value standard for the benefits it provides.

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.

also will be different.

the Patient Pays amount may be
more.

Coverage for: Employee/Family | Plan Type: PS1

Questions and answers about the Coverage Examples:

What are some of the assumptions
behind the Coverage Examples?

Costs dont include premiums.

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.
The patients condition was not an
excluded or preexisting condition.
All services and treatments started and
ended in the same coverage period.
There are no other medical expenses for
any member covered under this plan.
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, 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.

Does the Coverage Example predict my

future expenses?

No. Coverage Examples are not cost

estimators. You cant use the examples to
estimate costs for an 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, and the reimbursement
your health plan allows.

Can I use Coverage Examples to

compare plans?

Yes. When you look at the Summary of

Benefits and Coverage for other plans, youll
find the same Coverage Examples. When you
compare plans, check the Patient Pays box
in each example. The smaller that number,
the more coverage the plan provides.

Are there other costs I should consider

when comparing plans?

Yes. An important cost is the premium you

pay. Generally, the lower your premium,
the more youll pay in out-of-pocket costs,
such as copayments, deductibles, and
coinsurance. You should also consider
contributions to accounts such as health
savings accounts (HSAs), flexible spending
arrangements (FSAs) or health
reimbursement accounts (HRAs) that help
you pay out-of-pocket expenses.
